AN Edinburgh-based spa and beauty business has launched a 'TreatOutToHelpOut ' scheme in an effort to kick-start the sector as it reopens.
PURE Spa & Beauty has launched the nationwide scheme in a bid to encourage customers to return to spas and salons.
Founder and chief executive of PURE Spa & Beauty, chartered accountant Becky Woodhouse, announced the #TreatOutToHelpOut campaign today.
Spas and salons which join the scheme will offer £10 off any treatment £50 and over, between Monday to Wednesday, during the month of September.
Ms Woodhouse, who founded PURE Spa & Beauty in 2002, said: “The spas and salons that join in will be funding the £10 discount themselves as an investment and we hope customers will be equally as generous and return to their regular spa and beauty treats to help support our industry through reopening.”
PURE Spa & Beauty noted the coronavirus pandemic is estimated to cost small businesses in the beauty industry £9,282 each on average in lost work, earnings and loan repayments, according to a survey from Simply Business.
The company said it had created this campaign to help rejuvenate the industry and increase spend in beauty salons and spas up and down the country.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
