How To Generate Customer Referrals for Your MedSpa

Give the people what they want. That’s the magic recipe for a thriving MedSpa business and what leads to customers telling their friends (aka word of mouth). After repeat business, there’s nothing more valuable than a personal recommendation from a friend or family member. 

To give the people what they want, you have to know what they want. We used aggregated review data from MedSpas around the country to develop the following list of the most important draws for patients.

How To Turn Research Into Customer Referrals 

Now you know what patients are looking for in your MedSpa. The next step is making sure your business delivers on all of these points. Once you’ve done that, it’s just a matter of clearly communicating that fact to potential and existing patients. 

It’s often not the best MedSpa who wins the patient. It’s actually the best communicating MedSpa who wins. That’s right, you may know that your competitor has a subpar experience compared to you, but it doesn’t matter if they more clearly communicate all of the above points to potential patients.
