ISPA Welcomes New Members to the ISPA Community T he monthly ISPA Snapshot surveys provide ISPA members the opportunity to participate in and access useable and relevant industry research and insights. The July Snapshot Survey asked respondents about their business performance for the second quarter of 2016, from April 1 through June 30. Positive trends were apparent throughout the results report. Sixty-nine percent of all spa member respondents reported an increase in gross revenue change over the same quarter in 2015. When asked about gross profit change, 64 percent of spas saw an increase in this category. The results from the survey also indicated that spa owners and operators feel confident about the future of the industry. When asked to describe workforce changes for the second quarter of 2016, a little over a quarter (26 percent) of all spa respondents added new positions, with 41 percent filling vacant positions only. Only three percent implemented a hiring freeze while only two percent of respondents laid off employees. The full report shares insights into what retail products flew off the shelves in the second quarter of 2016 as well as anticipated workforce changes ahead for the remainder of the year, so be sure to keep an eye out on the ISPA website for the full report.
