General Discussion

Hello, my wife and I are in the process of the process of opening our float center. You read that correctly, no typo. While we are both experienced business owners, the Float Spa business is new for both of us, but like most Floaties, (Our term for professionals in the business space, and truly enthusiastic serial floaters.) we have come to see the great value in the practice, as well as a great business opportunity in our community. We acknowledge that we are new to this world, and have a great deal to learn. I am posting this as a possible forum for other new business creators to have as a valuable resource, and hopefully and information magnet that we can benefit from ourselves.

We are in the from--scratch portion of our journey. We are currently looking for commercial space that we can do the extensive buildout we know is coming, and we are looking for advice from established business owners, contractors, and other professionals in-the-know.

We would like to learn about the key factors for success for ourselves, and for our future clients. Where is it worth it to spend our buildout dollars, so we aren't doubling efforts down the line? Which is better, PODS, Rooms, or open pools with infrared heaters? SOUND PROOFING, - take me to your leader. Plumbing and maintenance space woes avoidance? How best to deal with the bane of everyone who plays with salt water in a clean environment, ....SALT.

Finally, but certainly open to more,... what are the best customer facing business systems, marketing, experience enhancers, service add-ons and value builds that we really should be considering for a home run experience both for our clients and for our bottom line?

Thank you fellow Floaties. I appreciate in advance the value to be found here, and I look forward to contributing to this great community as our own experience and knowledge grows. For now, we are open ears.

Thanks again, in advance.

Sincerely,

Float Summerville, -Dylan M.
