Once considered an indulgence, spa treatments are quickly becoming a necessity. Spa Week has taken a leadership role in teaching the public about the different options the Spa Industry can bring to them. The goal of Spa Week is to develop a new generation of educated consumers that incorporate regular spa treatments into their health care regimen.
(PRWEB) August 28, 2007 -- Healthcare in the U.S. is a disaster and getting worse. Adult and childhood obesity have hit epidemic proportions. 46 million of Americans are without healthcare and its costs are spiraling out of control. Over the next 12 months, lost employee productivity and its direct medical care will cost the nation's employers up to $64.1 billion, plus $58.8 billion in indirect costs. Life is tough. Americans eat the wrong foods, get too little sleep and have to deal with stress on a constant basis. Small problems build up and multiply until they become unmanageable and start to exhibit a negative effect on one's health. Spa Week wants to make a difference in helping the public take back control of their lives.
Education is the first step. Spa Week has taken a leadership role in teaching the public about the different options the Spa Industry can bring to them. Spa Week was created to help inform consumers about the benefits of the spa lifestyle and get first-timers into the spa. Since its inception in 2004, Spa Week has evolved to become a complete resource for a healthy lifestyle. The goal of Spa Week is to develop a new generation of educated consumers that incorporate regular spa treatments into their health care regimen.
This Fall Spa Week will be bringing $50 spa treatments to consumers at over 400 spas across the United States and Canada in an effort to introduce a new generation of consumers to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and to open up the spa industry to the masses. The goal is to make wellness more than just a word--Spa Week intends to do its part and make it a reality. By educating and introducing the health benefits of the spa lifestyle to as many people as possible, Spa Week is taking a leadership position in the campaign to change the unhealthy course the country is navigating.
Spa Week is slated for September 17th -23rd on the West Coast and October 15th -21st for the balance of the Country. It will take place in over 400 spas in 22 markets across the United States and Canada including New York City, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Virginia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Miami, Oregon, Denver, Minnesota, Seattle, Arizona, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Toronto. A list of participating spas will be posted on www.spaweek.org.
Spa Week is encouraging participating spas to develop wellness packages and campaigns, but of course, the spas will continue to offer their signature $50 treatments, along with enough pampering to please even the most discriminating spa enthusiast.
Motivated by the $13 billion annual North American spa industry, Spa Week was developed by C & R Media's Cheryl Reid, who hails from successful careers within the luxury spa industry and publishing spheres. Spa Week offers corporate and spa partners a vital niche marketing platform as Spa Week builds as an international brand. Along the way, Spa Week has attracted the attention and participation of many corporate sponsors including Saab, eBay, B. Kamins, Conair, Jane Iredale, BriteSmile, POM Wonderful, Clarisonic, Pure Essentials, Red Door, CEW, Philip Stein Teslar, Xela Aromasticks and Cancer and Careers. Allure Magazine has been the exclusive media partner since 2005.
