(YOUR COMPANY NAME) OFFERS STRESS-FREE WAYS TO SAVE AT THE SPA

(YOUR CITY, State) - With everything from gas to grocery prices on the rise, spa-goers are no doubt looking for ways to get the most bang for their buck. So, how about stretching your dollar with a half day of de-stressing and relaxing at (your company name)?  With so many treatments, products and amenities to choose from, (your company name) and the International SPA Association want to help you find a spa experience to match your budget.

"Just as you can find a hotel, restaurant or pair of shoes in any price range, there is a spa experience out there for everyone," said ISPA President Lynne McNees. "ISPA's research shows that the average cost of a spa treatment is $79, which means you can relax, reflect, revitalize and rejoice at a spa for the cost of going out to dinner, playing golf or seeing a play or concert."

• Packaged Deal - Many spa directors report that packages are often discounted up to as much as 20 percent off the regular individual prices. With 70 percent of spas offering packages, these deals are easy to find.
• Group Mentality - Bring your friends, family or co-workers and save. For example, you and your significant other will have no trouble finding a deal on a couples package as 46 percent of spas offer them.
• Make a Day of It - Turn a 60-minute spa experience into a full day! Spas offer a wide range of complimentary amenities for you to enjoy, such as relaxation rooms, steam rooms, fitness centers, pools and healthy snacks and beverages.
• Score Online - Besides often checking your favorite spa's Web site for any new promotional postings, you should also sign up to be on the spa's e-mail list.
• Taking It Home - Take the spa experience home by learning techniques from your treatment that you can practice in your daily life. Ask your therapist for pointers on stretches, breathing techniques and home remedies, as well as product recommendations.
