When it comes to the word Spa, what are some words that pop in your mind? I can say for sure pampering, rejuvenating, relaxing, and tranquility are some of the word that comes right off of the top for me. These words are also what women looks for when it come to creating a spa atmosphere and this concept shouldn’t change when it comes to creating a basket either.
You want to make sure that when you are designing a basket that your basket has a nice even flow and that it’s not over crowded with the same items. In other words, you have to make sure your basket has a theme and make sure that your colors are the same as well. You want to make sure the scents are basically the same because you don’t want to mix Lavender and Chocolate in the same basket.
Here are list of items that should always have in your Spa Basket.
You should always have some type of cleaning or washing products. Just choose any one of these products:
· Body wash
· Bubble Bath
· Bath Salt
· Shower Gel
While you’re still in the bath or shower, it’s a good time to exfoliate the skin and you can choose any one or you don’t have to depending on your budget.
· Brown Sugar Scrubs
· Sea Salt Scrubs
· Sugar Scrubs
You want to moisturize and hydrate your skin once you’re out of the shower. You will need to have at least one or two of these pampering items in your basket:
· Body Cream
· Lotion
· Whipped Body Butter
· Body Oil
Also you can add any of these item to your basket as well:
· Hand cream
· Pedicure Cream
· Fragrance oil scent
To complete your basket it’s always a good idea to have at least two or three essential items in your Spa Basket:
· Body Brush
· Eye-mask
· Neck pillow
· Spa slippers
· Plush towel
· Pillar candles
· Potpourri/sachets
· CD of soothing or meditation music
· Chocolates
· Gift certificate for massage or facial
Then collects all your items and put them all in a nice basket filled with plenty of decorative shred lined on the bottom and around your items. You don’t have to use a basket; you can use any decorative boxes, bath caddy, or decorative gift bags.
So no matter what budget you are working with you can create a Spa Basket for any occasion.

It is so refreshing and invigorating. After I shower, my skin literally feels like silk. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself.
Growing your business isn’t just a worthy goal; growing your business is a necessity for your business’s survival and your economic well-being. What can you do to get your business beyond the bare sustenance level? All of these ways of growing your business have been successfully used by other businesses and, with some planning and investment, will work for you.
1. Penetrate your existing market
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of growing your business is getting new customers. But the customers you already have are your best bet for increasing your sales; it’s easier and more cost-effective to get people who are already buying from you to buy more than to find new customers and persuade them to buy from you.
2. Ask for referrals
Getting new customers is another approach to growing your business. One of the easiest way to do this is to ask your current customers for referrals. But notice the verb. Doing a great job and just assuming that your customers are passing the word about your business isn’t going to do much to increase your customer base; you have to actively seek referrals. During or after every job or sale, ask your satisfied customer if he knows anyone else who would be interested in your products or services.
3. Innovate your product or service.
Discovering and promoting new uses for your products or services is a great way to both get existing customers to buy more and attract new customers. Think petroleum jelly and duct tape – and how few of these would actually be sold if they only had one use!
4. Extend your market reach.
There are several ways of growing your business by making your product or service available to a new pool of customers. The most obvious is to open stores in new locations, such as opening a store or kiosk in a new town. New locations can also be virtual, such as a website with an online store. Another approach is to extend your reach through advertising. Once you’ve identified a new market, you might advertise in select media that targets that market.
5. Participate in trade shows.
Trade shows can be a great way of growing your business. Because trade shows draw people who are already interested in the type of product or service you offer, they can powerfully improve your bottom line. The trick is to select the trade shows you participate in carefully, seeking the right match for your product or service.
6. Conquer a niche market
Remember the analogy of the big fish in the small pond? That’s essentially how this strategy for growing your business works. The niche market is the pond; a narrowly defined group of customers. Think of them as a subset whose needs are not being met and concentrate on meeting those unmet needs. A nursery, for instance, might specialize in roses.
7. Contain your costs.
Surprised? Bear in mind that when we’re talking about growing your business, we’re actually talking about growing your business’s bottom line. And the difference between pre-tax and post-tax money can make this a very effective growth strategy. There are two main approaches to cutting costs; liquidating your “loser” products and improving your inventory turnover.
8. Diversify your products or services.
The key to successfully growing your business through diversification is similarity. You want to focus on the related needs of your already established market or on market segments with similar needs and characteristics. An artist might also sell frames and framing services, for instance. Or a mountain bike rental business might switch to renting skidoos in the winter season.
9. Franchising.
The stories of entrepreneurs who have become both well known and well heeled due to franchising their small businesses are legion – and not just stories. If you have a successful business and can develop a system that ensures that others can duplicate your success, franchising may be the fast track for growing your business.
.
10. Exporting.
Expanding into international markets can also be a powerful boost to your business’s bottom line. Like franchising, this is a way of growing your business that requires quite a commitment of time and resources, but can be extremely rewarding.
There you have it; ten ways of growing your business. Don’t let this list overwhelm you; pick one or two of these ideas that are suitable to your business and your circumstances and get your plan for growing your business underway.
