A whole new approach to the SAUNA bathing
Here is how you turn your sauna from a cost to a profitable investment in three simple steps:

Most luxury hotel spas have a sauna, but let's be honest—it’s often seen as just another box to tick, a “nice-to-have” that sometimes feels more like a cost than an attraction. But here’s the thing: the sauna could actually be a star of the show, especially when you consider its incredible health benefits.
Think about it: sauna therapy isn’t just about relaxation or boosting your post-workout glow. It can help prevent and even treat some common health issues. No other activity in your hotel spa does more for human health than the sauna—that is a fact!
So, why aren’t more spas turning this hidden gem into a real business opportunity?
The answer lies in awareness: spa staff may not fully recognize the sauna's potential, as they may not be familiar with all of its benefits or have firsthand experience using it. Without that direct understanding, it’s tough to appreciate its magic.
Ready to unlock the sauna’s full potential?
Here are three simple steps to turn it into a moneymaker for your hotel spa:
Step 1:
Know what you offer - It is about value, not price!

Imagine there is a pill that ...
1. ... offers deep relaxation and better sleep
2. ... enables more efficient detoxification
3. ... enhances muscle gain and fat loss
4. ... improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistant
5. ... makes healthier skin and faster skin rejuvenation
6. ... strengthens the Immune system
7. ... alleviate arthritic and other chronic pain
8. ... improves endurance and speed up athletic recovery
9. ... increases cardiovascular health
10. ... enhance brain and mental health
11. ... extents longevity and slower ageing


By now, you may have drawn two key conclusions:
First, the most common health issues affecting people today have been identified;
Second, if a single pill could address them all, it would be priceless.
While no such pill exists, regular sauna bathing offers all the listed benefits.
To the uninitiated, these claims might sound a bit over the top—but they’re not! In fact, they’re backed by an extensive review of over 1,000 scientific articles. Every claim, along with the fascinating biological reasons behind these benefits, is laid out in detail in The Sauna Book for the 21st Century.

Step 2:
Experience what you offer - "Be your own best customer. Live your customer's lifestyle."
The service you offer should be known at least theoretically. However, one can't radiate enthusiasm without experiencing what customers are experiencing. This means putting yourself in your customer's shoes and ensuring they are satisfied with your service. You need to test your offerings as if you were a real customer—experience the entire process, from discovering difficulties to enjoying the benefits.
This allows you to:
- Identify strengths and weaknesses in the customer experience.
- Understand customer pain points and address them more effectively.
- Build genuine enthusiasm for what you offer because you have first-hand experience with its value.
- Craft messages that resonate on a personal level.
- Tailor your products or services to fit seamlessly into their lives.
- Design marketing strategies that feel natural and relevant.

In practice, these ideas encourage staff to empathize with their customers and create experiences that truly meet their expectations. It’s about developing a customer-first mindset, where every decision is guided by what your customers need and value most. And of course, we must not forget that regular sauna bathing makes us healthy.

Effective Sauna Marketing: Word of Mouth is Everything
Step 3:
Effective Sauna Marketing: Word of Mouth is Everything

Once you grasp the essentials and, more importantly, experience the benefits firsthand, marketing a hotel spa sauna becomes delightfully simple—because when people feel your authenticity, they trust it.
Since you understand the Sauna’s unique value you can craft a compelling message targeting the right audience building trust and credibility—and that trust leads to loyalty.
In summary, effective marketing starts with knowing not just what makes your sauna amazing, but also why those benefits matter to your guests. When you do this, you can easily convey the value and attract the right customers.
But that’s just the beginning...
The true enchantment unfolds when your guest steps into the sauna under the watchful care of a skilled guide. It's not just heat they encounter, but an ancient ritual, a secret dance of warmth and wellness known to only a select few. As they are led through this masterful journey, they discover a deeper realm of relaxation, where the ordinary fades, and unfamiliar sensations rise like whispers, transforming even the most seasoned sauna-goer into an explorer of uncharted bliss.
This is when regular sauna bathing turns into sauna therapy—a life-transformative and health-promoting activity, hence a talking point—something so memorable and special that it sparks admiration and discussion. This is where your team and customers transform into passionate ambassadors, spreading the word and elevating your spa’s reputation through the power of conversation.
Word of Mouth
Word of mouth is incredibly powerful, especially for spa experiences where personal recommendations often sway potential guests. The good news is, you can supercharge word of mouth with a few strategic moves:
- Incentivize Referrals
Offer discounts or complimentary services to guests who refer friends or family. Happy customers love sharing their experience, especially when there's something in it for them! - Encourage Reviews
Positive reviews on platforms like Google, TripAdvisor, or social media are digital word of mouth. Make it easy for guests to leave feedback after their visit and watch your reputation grow. - Create Shareable Experiences
Make your sauna area visually stunning and Instagram-worthy, encouraging guests to share their experiences online. Provide fun, branded hashtags to boost visibility. - Collaborate with Experts
Invite local wellness experts or influencers to experience your sauna. Their recommendations expand your reach and lend credibility to your offering. - Leverage User-Generated Content
Encourage guests to take photos, tag your hotel, and share their stories. Featuring their posts on your own social channels showcases real customer satisfaction and fosters a sense of community.
By combining the natural power of word of mouth with these strategic actions, you can greatly enhance the reputation and visibility of your sauna service—and watch as it transforms into a must-visit attraction.
