✯ Spa Revitalisation
Phase 4 - Feedback loop
✯ Spa Revitalisation
Feedback loop
From Operational Oversight to Visionary Guidance
Any top athlete will tell you that maintaining top form is much more challenging than winning. It is not easy to motivate yourself to get top results; however, finding the motivation to sustain top form is crucial for long-term success. And it's no different in business. Just like athletes face challenges maintaining top performance, sustaining top spa service over time is difficult and requires constant effort. One of the most important tools for dealing with this phenomenon is the creation of an appropriate feedback system. A robust and effective feedback system is the key to fruitful oversight of operations. It significantly increases the adaptability and efficiency of the staff's work, and raises the quality of services and thus customer satisfaction and loyalty. Building such a system requires carefully planned steps and systemisation.
In addition, effective oversight of operations not only supports the present needs of the business but also empowers leaders to pursue forward-thinking, visionary goals without being bogged down by operational disruptions. This balance between day-to-day management and long-term vision is key to sustained growth and continuous enhancements.

Phase 4 - Key Elements
1. Key Feedback Areas Determination
Focusing on areas critical to the customer experience, such as:
- Service quality (e.g., massage, facial treatments)
- Staff behaviour and professionalism
- Hygiene and cleanliness
- Facility comfort (e.g., sauna, steam room)
- Booking process and communication
2. Feedback Collection Methods Selection
Multiple channels for gathering feedback ensure the capturing of responses from different customer types:
- Post-service surveys: Offer brief digital surveys via email, SMS, or app after the service.
- In-person feedback forms: physical feedback forms at the reception or in the relaxation lounge.
- Tablet/Interactive Kiosks: at exit points to capture quick ratings on service experience.
- Website/App pop-ups: Prompt feedback while clients browse the spa’s website or app.
- QR codes: QR codes in key areas (reception, treatment rooms) for customers to scan and give feedback on the go.
3. Crafting of Relevant and Effective Question
The feedback should be concise but insightful, focusing on open-ended and rating-based questions:
- Rating scale questions (e.g., 1–5 stars for service quality, cleanliness, etc.)
- Open-ended questions (e.g., “What did you enjoy most about your experience?”)
- Multiple-choice questions (e.g., “Which service did you receive today?”)
- Net Promoter Score (NPS): “How likely are you to recommend our spa to others?”
4. Developing the Systems for Incentivize Feedback
Encourage participation by offering small rewards:
- Discounts on future services
- Loyalty points
- Entry into monthly giveaways
5. Creating criteria for analysis and a system for continuous feedback tracking
Utilizing software to collect and analyze data from various feedback channels:
- Categorizing feedback into areas like service, staff, cleanliness, etc.
- Monitoring trends and frequently mentioned issues.
- Automating reporting to see monthly summaries or urgent service complaints.
6. Action Plan for Improvement
Creation of an action plan for the implementation of improvements
- Quick resolution: Addressing negative feedback promptly by reaching out to unsatisfied customers.
- Staff training: Using feedback to highlight areas where staff can improve (e.g., punctuality, professionalism).
- Operational adjustments: If multiple customers mention facility cleanliness or comfort, make it a priority.
7. Loop Closing System with Customers
Establishing protocols and assigning staff to implement:
- Thanking customers for their feedback through emails or personal messages.
- Informing them of the improvements made based on their suggestions (creates a sense of ownership and loyalty).
8. Performance Monitoring and the Feedback Loop Refining
Continuously measuring the effectiveness of the feedback system:
- Response rates: How many customers are engaging with the system?
- Action taken: How quickly are complaints or suggestions being implemented?
- Customer satisfaction: Has overall satisfaction improved since implementing the system?
By implementing a structured, customer-centric feedback system, your spa can continuously adapt and evolve based on real-time insights, ensuring an exceptional guest experience while minimizing the need for external oversight. This approach not only reduces staff stress but also empowers leadership to focus on strategic, visionary objectives without being hindered by day-to-day operational challenges.
