Cost-Effective and Easy Ways to Bring More Leads to Your Medspa

Cost-Effective and Easy Ways to Bring More Leads to Your Medspa

Running a successful medspa requires a combination of expertise, top-tier treatments, and—most importantly—a steady stream of new clients. While paid ads and influencer partnerships can be effective, they aren’t always budget-friendly for growing businesses. Luckily, there are several cost-effective ways to increase medspa visibility, attract new leads, and establish your medspa as the go-to wellness destination in your community.

At The Medspa Society, we’ve tested and refined these strategies to help our clients grow their businesses without breaking the bank. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for fresh ideas, here are some simple yet powerful ways to bring more leads to your medspa.

1. Offer a Promo Card for First-Time Clients

Everyone loves a good deal, and offering a first-time client discount is a great way to encourage people to try your services. We recommend creating a promo card that offers a specific discount off their first service. You can distribute these at:

  • Residential buildings
  • Local businesses
  • Coffee shops
  • Gyms and yoga studios
  • Hair and nail salons

By physically handing out these promo cards, you create direct touchpoints with potential clients and increase the chances of conversion.

💡 Pro Tip: Leave stacks of your promo cards in high-traffic areas where potential clients might be looking for self-care services. If possible, include a QR code that links directly to your booking page.

2. Advertise on Digital Screens at Local Gyms

Gyms and fitness centers attract health-conscious individuals who are likely to be interested in aesthetic and wellness treatments like IV therapy, skin rejuvenation, and body sculpting. Many gyms have digital advertising screens that display promotions from local businesses.

By designing an eye-catching graphic ad promoting one of your signature services (e.g., a post-workout IV drip or a facial for gym-goers), you can target a prime audience that already values health and beauty.

💡 Pro Tip: If advertising on screens isn’t an option, ask about placing flyers in locker rooms or near the juice bar.

3. Join Your Local Chamber of Commerce

Getting involved in your local Chamber of Commerce can provide instant credibility and open up networking and promotional opportunities. Most chambers offer:

  • A business listing on their website
  • Invitations to local networking events
  • A ribbon-cutting ceremony to introduce your medspa to the community
  • Promotional support for new businesses

Additionally, check if the Convention and Visitors Bureau has any partnerships that could benefit your medspa, such as featuring your business in their tourism guides or event promotions.

💡 Pro Tip: Many chambers have small business spotlight opportunities where you can showcase your services through social media, newsletters, or in-person events.

4. Give B12 Shot Tokens to Hotel Concierges

Hotels host hundreds of travelers who might be jet-lagged, fatigued, or in need of a wellness boost. Partnering with hotel concierges can be a fantastic way to get in front of out-of-town visitors who would benefit from a B12 shot or IV therapy.

By providing B12 shot tokens or small discount cards, concierges can offer an easy upsell to their guests while driving traffic to your medspa.

💡 Pro Tip: Offer commission-based incentives for concierges who refer clients. This creates a win-win partnership.

5. Partner with Local Bars for IV Therapy Promotions

Hangovers are real, and IV therapy is one of the best solutions for dehydration and fatigue after a night out. You can get creative by:

  • Giving B12 shot tokens to bartenders for them to share with customers
  • Creating custom coasters with a QR code linking to your IV therapy services
  • Sponsoring "Hangover Relief" specials at bars or brunch spots, where patrons receive a discount if they book an IV therapy session

This strategy allows you to target a high-intent audience while creating fun collaborations with local businesses.

💡 Pro Tip: Bars and restaurants that host bachelorette parties, corporate events, or weddings can be prime partners for IV therapy promotions.

6. Secure a Spot on Local News Segments

Local news stations often feature small businesses and wellness trends, making this a great PR opportunity for your medspa. While some TV stations may charge for sponsored segments, many offer free coverage if your topic is newsworthy.

Consider pitching a seasonal wellness topic, such as:

  • “How to Keep Your Skin Hydrated in the Winter”
  • “The Benefits of IV Therapy for Immune Support”
  • “The Top Medspa Treatments for Brides-to-Be”

If you can tie your services into a trending topic, your chances of getting featured increase significantly.

💡 Pro Tip: Reach out to local morning shows and lifestyle programs to see if they need guest experts to discuss wellness topics.

7. Leverage Local Mom Facebook Groups

If any of your providers or team members are part of local mom groups on Facebook, they can post about your medspa and introduce themselves as new providers. Many of these groups actively support local businesses, making them a great place to promote services like:

  • Facials and skincare treatments for busy moms
  • Postpartum recovery treatments (e.g., body sculpting, IV therapy)
  • Exclusive discounts for group members

💡 Pro Tip: Be authentic and informative in these groups—avoid sounding too promotional. A personal introduction along with an exclusive discount works best.

8. Offer a Military & Teacher Discount

Many medspas find success by offering exclusive discounts to groups that value self-care but may not always prioritize it—like teachers and military personnel. A simple 10% discount on all services can:

  • Increase word-of-mouth referrals among teachers and military families
  • Position your medspa as a community-friendly business
  • Encourage repeat visits from loyal customers

💡 Pro Tip: Promote this discount through social media, email marketing, and in-store signage.

Bringing new leads into your medspa doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. By leveraging local partnerships, grassroots marketing, and community involvement, you can attract new clients organically and affordably.
