5 EASY STEPS ON HOW TO REDEEM AN ALAYNE WHITE GIFT CARD (and therefore get more gift cards)

 1.     Use it. What are you saving it for?  Our experience has shown that women get our gift card and “save it” for that special day. Men give the card and wait patiently for their gift to be used. Saving it communicates not liking it and therefore when men think you didn’t like it, men don’t buy more because they think you didn’t like it even though you loved it. Confused? Trust us.

 2.     Make your appointment as soon as you get the card, even if you want to wait until next Christmas to have your appointment, book it now! This way you block the time for you now because you know what happens to that schedule of yours... and please, if you want a pedicure in the summer, book it now, we are usually booked out 4-6 weeks for our famous pedicures.

 3.     Book Online. www.alaynewhite.com, super easy and available 24/7 or Book on the Phone. Bristol 401-254-1772. Providence 401-272-1772.

4. Should you need help in choosing a service, our fabulous team of spa goddesses are here for you. We have included a list of our newest and most popular services. You can see the full descriptions on the website www.alaynewhite.com.

You may also email Alayne directly alayne@alaynewhite.com. (yes there is an Alayne and she loves personally answering your spa questions ).

5. Make it super obvious that you made the appointment and are looking forward to your opportunity to relax. Talk about how much you loved the service afterwards (as we know you will), and that it was one of the most wonderful gifts ever. This guarantees more gift cards. Remind your gift giver you never get bored with a gift card to alayne white spa. Our research has shown that occasionally the gift giver feels you may want a different gift and will change things around by buying a gift card somewhere else (perish the thought).

Not that you should need an incentive, but if you book your appointment online for January or February 2010 and type in GIFT, you will save 5% on any one spa service.

We know it shouldn't be this much work to use your gift card, but we also know that many of you never use them. Accountants and business consultants love it when you don't use your gift cards, but we want you to, otherwise you never get to know how fabulous we are and how fabulous you can feel.
