Expanded Product Suite Allows Spas to Increase Direct Revenue Using SpaBooker's Leading Spa Software Solution - At No Extra Cost

New York, NY - July 13, 2009SpaFinder, Inc., the leading spa/wellness marketing and media company, today announced the addition of a powerful new revenue-generating program for spas, allowing them to sell their own gift certificates instantly on their websites and on SpaFinder.com. Spas using SpaFinder's SpaBooker management software will be able to take advantage of the gift certificate marketing program and reach customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The new Instant Online Gift Certificates will be available to a potential market of millions of wellness and spa enthusiasts at SpaFinder.com and the spas' own websites.

Over the next months, the gift certificate sales program will be expanded to other highly trafficked websites. Importantly, SpaFinder's new gift certificate program provides consumers with the opportunity to personalize their gift of spa. During the buying process, the purchaser can choose from over ten attractive certificate templates and add a personalized message.

Each gift certificate is marked with a unique barcode so it can be easily tracked and quickly redeemed when presented to the spa. The functionality works seamlessly, creating a quick new source of revenue while increasing customer convenience. "SpaFinder's new Instant Online Gift Certificate program can help any spa increase revenue and strengthen their relationship with valued customers," said Peter Ellis, Chairman & CEO of SpaFinder. "Now it's easy for spas to offer their own personalized, attractive gift certificates and make them available where millions of spa customers are searching online." The new offering adds another powerful feature to SpaBooker's full product suite, which functions like the 'OpenTable' of spas and salons. Through SpaBooker, consumers can research menus and pricing, and then book times - selecting specific treatments from a Thai massage to an oxygen facial. Users simply pick a location, view service availability for their chosen day and time, choose the exact treatment they want, and reserve an appointment securely with their credit card or gift certificate. Their booking is confirmed instantly. SpaBooker recently announced the launch of a new spa booking channel on Allure's website, Allure.com, which is powered entirely by SpaBooker's spa software.
