Now here is a trend that I think has a fighting chance. A step up from Mommy & Me classes, Skin Spa Baby in Encino, CA has several classes on baby massage, baby yoga and even baby chakra chi.
While you don't have to go all out, these types classes could be an excellent solution in your spa during those slow Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Sure it would be great if you have a wellness center with a yoga studio for the space. If you don't, then be creative! Do you have an extra large treatment room that you can move equipment out of for mats on the floor? What about your lobby? Your mani/pedi room? If you schedule the class during a naturally slow time in the morning, noise from the class may not disturber many (or any) clients. [While on maternity leave with my infant, I looooved getting out to do things together in the morning.]
If there really is no wiggle room in your spa, consider teaming up with a yoga studio or community center to offer classes there. Other than the class tuition income, you'd have free reign to market your products (use them in the class) and your services (have brochures on hand).
LESSON LEARNED: Explore other services you can offer your existing clientele. Especially when those services solve other problems you have like slow weekdays.
