Worth Your Salt

Start Your Holiday Email Strategy Before the Holiday Rush Holiday promotions can be major revenue drivers for med spas, but the practices that see the biggest results are not usually the ones throwing together a last-minute Black Friday email the night before. In this episode of Worth Your Salt, Jennifer talks with Kieryn Wang, email marketer and founder of ALLMOST, about why email marketing for med spas should be treated as a year-round relationship-building system — not just a place to send occasional specials. Kieryn explains that email gives med spa owners something social media cannot always guarantee: a direct, owned way to stay connected with patients and prospects. When your list is nurtured consistently, your audience gets to know your voice, understand your services, trust your expertise, and feel more prepared to buy when the right offer comes along. That matters especially during holiday sales seasons, when gift cards, treatment packages, skincare bundles, VIP events, “12 Days of Glow” campaigns, and seasonal promotions can become powerful opportunities to increase revenue without relying on discounts alone. The conversation also gets practical. Kieryn walks through how med spas can warm up a quiet list, create a simple welcome sequence, segment current clients from past clients and new leads, use testimonials throughout the year, and build automated follow-ups for people who show interest but do not book. Her biggest reminder? Do not overcomplicate it. Start with one thing, get 1% better, and build an email system that helps your practice stay top of mind, nurture trust, and turn seasonal moments into real growth. What You’ll Learn Why email marketing for med spas is one of the most valuable ways to nurture leads, build trust, and drive repeat revenue How early med spas should start planning holiday promotions, Black Friday campaigns, gift card offers, and seasonal packages Why welcome sequences, testimonials, segmentation, and abandoned-interest emails can help move patients from curious to booked How to create holiday offers that feel thoughtful and brand-aligned instead of relying only on discounts Resources: Join The Conversion Club Listen to The Conversation Club Podcast

Raquel Merlini Talks About Why Ethical Aesthetics Matter on the Worth Your Salt Podcast In aesthetics, trust is everything — but trust is not built by a beautiful Instagram feed, a packed service menu, or the latest trending treatment. It’s built in the moments when a provider chooses education over pressure, integrity over ego, and the right recommendation over the most profitable one. But what does it mean to practice ethical aesthetics? Today’s guest, Raquel Merlini, founder of R Skin Aesthetics, is here to talk about what it really means to build a med spa brand with integrity — one where patients feel safe, empowered, and confident in every decision.

Together, Jennifer and Raquel explore why trust is the most valuable thing a med spa can build, especially in an industry shaped by trends, social media pressure, and ever-expanding treatment options. From natural-looking results to patient communication to giving back through mentorship and scholarship, this episode is a reminder that the strongest aesthetic brands are not just beautiful on the outside — they are built with integrity from the inside out. In this episode, you’ll learn: How clinic owners can create a patient experience that builds trust from consultation to follow-up. What red flags may be quietly eroding trust inside an aesthetics practice. Why ethical aesthetics and ethical marketing go hand in hand.
