✨The Story: What Clients Really Want (Even if They Don’t Say It)
Imagine walking into your favorite hotel.
You're not just a guest — you're known. You're welcomed. You're expected.
That’s the secret sauce your clients crave:
A spa that feels more like a members-only club and less like a one-off appointment.
One Glowelle client launched a 3-tiered membership called The Ritual Society.
Within 3 weeks? The Platinum tier was waitlisted.
Why? Because people don’t just want treatments.
They want identity. Status. VIP access.
The treatment is the cherry.
The membership? That’s the lifestyle.

💎 Step-by-Step: How to Build a VIP Membership That Feels Like a Dream
Let’s break it down like a signature 5-step facial:
🥂 Step 1: Name It Like a Lifestyle
Avoid calling it “Monthly Membership.” That’s gym talk. You’re a luxury experience.
Try this instead:
The Inner Circle
Glow Society
The Radiance Reserve
Maison de Lumière
✨ Make it sound exclusive, not transactional.
💅 Step 2: Tier It Like Chanel
Luxury clients like options — especially when each one feels just out of reach.
Structure it like this:
Essence Tier: 1 monthly facial, 10% off retail, birthday bonus
Luminary Tier: 2 custom treatments/month, priority booking, 15% off, seasonal facial upgrades
Icon Tier (Invite Only): 3 VIP treatments/month, quarterly gift box, free access to events, 20% off, complimentary skin coaching
🎁 Tip: Add mystery perks to top tiers — “plus surprise seasonal upgrades.”
📈 Step 3: Price for Perception, Not Discount
You’re not Costco. You’re Dior. Never price based on what’s “affordable.” Price on what it’s worth.
Make it feel like this:
“$297/month to maintain celebrity skin”
“For less than a weekly blowout, keep your collagen in check”
“The no-brainer investment for women who glow with intention”
💡 Use aspirational lifestyle comparisons in your copy.
🗓 Step 4: Make It Easy to Join, Hard to Leave
Add auto-renew billing, online booking, and exclusive incentives for referrals.
But also…
Create FOMO:
Limited spots per tier
Waitlists for top-tier levels
Invite-only upgrades after 6 months of loyalty
📲 Clients shouldn’t just want to stay — they should fear missing out.
🧖♀️ Step 5: Treat Members Like Royalty
This is where most spas drop the loofah. Don’t let the membership feel like a discount club. Every touchpoint must scream exclusivity.
Ways to deliver:
Handwritten welcome note in luxe packaging
Quarterly concierge call to customize their plan
VIP-only pop-up events (mini champagne facials, anyone?)
👑 Remember: This isn’t a facial plan. It’s their invitation to a lifestyle.

💡 The Glowelle Lesson:
If your clients feel like “just another booking,” they’ll act like one.
But when they feel like part of a hand-picked society of radiant, high-achieving women?
They stay. They spend. They share.
Build a membership that elevates their identity — and it will elevate your revenue.

🧴 Repeatable Proverb:
“Treat your members like royalty, and your business will reign.”
