Ooh La La Med Spa Email Marketing Case Study
Boosting Retention and Bookings with Strategic Email Marketing
Overview
Ooh La La Med Spa, a small boutique spa in Highlands Ranch, CO, faced significant hurdles in client retention and engagement due to inconsistent rebooking processes and generic marketing efforts. Despite offering premium services including facials, laser treatments, and injectables, this small business struggled with a critical 30% first-visit dropout rate.
With a small team and limited resources, they struggled to maintain a steady client base and capitalize on missed opportunities. Our team at Digital Consulting Services partnered with them to craft a tailored email marketing strategy that addressed these challenges head-on.
Through strategic email marketing programs, we helped the spa increase repeat bookings by 25% and boost revenue by 15% in just three months. This case study walks through the challenges, solutions, and remarkable results that demonstrate the power of our email marketing programs customized for the competitive med spa industry.
Ooh La La Med Spa Email Marketing Case Study
CHALLENGE
Client Retention Dilemma
Ooh La La Med Spa had collected an email list of 800 subscribers through their booking system but was unsure how to leverage it effectively. Struggling with poor client retention, they lacked the time and resources to consistently follow up with clients. Despite quality med spa services, their marketing approach was disorganized and scattered and wasn’t converting first-time visitors into loyal clients.
Inconsistent Follow-Up
The spa relied exclusively on time-consuming manual phone calls for rebooking, leading to missed opportunities and staff burnout.

Missed Revenue Opportunities
CHALLENGE
The Resource Dillema
Limited Staff Resources
With a skeleton crew handling everything from treatments to administration, Ooh La La lacked dedicated marketing personnel. The owners, Olga and Zermene, were wearing multiple hats while trying to grow the business.
Budget Constraints
As a young business, the spa operated with tight profit margins, making expensive marketing campaigns or additional staff hires unfeasible.

Strategic Solution
List Optimization
Our first step was conducting an in-depth audit of their email list, ensuring compliance with regulations and segmenting their audience into three distinct groups: new clients, active clients, and lapsed clients. This segmentation allowed us to deliver personalized content that resonated with each group, enhancing engagement and fostering loyalty.
List Cleaning
Removed some 150 inactive subscribers, focusing on 650 engaged contacts for improved deliverability and more accurate metrics.
Strategic Segmentation
Divided contacts into three key groups: new clients (first-time visitors), active clients (2+ visits in past 6 months), and lapsed clients (no visits in 6+ months).
Targeted Approach
Created the foundation for personalized messaging that would speak directly to each client’s specific relationship with the spa.
Strategic Solution
Segmentation Strategy
This strategic division allowed us to craft content that addressed each group’s specific needs and motivations. By recognizing where each client stood in their customer journey, we could deliver more relevant offers and information, dramatically improving engagement rates.
Strategic Solution
Our solution included automated email campaigns tailored to each segment, such as welcome series for new clients, promotional emails for active clients, and re-engagement campaigns for lapsed clients. Additionally, we implemented automated rebooking reminders and birthday emails to maintain consistent client interaction. These strategies not only streamlined their marketing efforts but also significantly reduced the manual workload on their staff.

After the first month, we identified opportunities to optimize subject lines, personalization elements, and send times based on actual client behavior. These refinements led to significant improvements in engagement metrics across all segments.
