 Episode Insights

• An aesthetic membership program is similar to any kind of subscription. It’s where a patient has the option to break up payments across the period of time to receive specific services and treatments rather than paying all upfront at once. – Ashley Carter
• Providing these memberships really can help patients who want to obtain their skincare goals. – Ashley Carter
• One of the key benefits of a membership program is really building loyalty and then rewarding this loyalty in a way… It’s also a great way to really promote a full comprehensive skincare regimen. – Judy Kozlicki
• Med spas should totally be results driven. – Ashley Carter
• Make sure all of your providers, from your providers to your front desk to people answering your calls, know how to speak about the membership and know how to give those patients that full face consult, that personalized skincare treatment plan, and know how to address individually what that patient’s skin concerns are. – Ashley Carter
• When you’re setting up your membership program, first and foremost, keep it simple. It’s really tempting to create a very highly customizable program for patients so that you’re accommodating every single person’s need. But I am telling you from experience, it can become an operational nightmare. – Judy Kozlicki
• Being able to plan ahead and being proactive rather than being reactive is the key to building a successful membership program. – Ashley Carter
• The measure of success is looking at how many members we have and how many members are we retaining on a practice level. – Judy Kozlicki
