      <title>Tanning Salons Diversify with SpaCapsule®</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">SpaCapsule® has launched a SpaCapsule® Marketing System that is included with the purchase of each Spa Capsule®.</p><p>Miami, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/25/2006 --  Tanning Salons have historically been a seasonal business.  Many salons are packed in the winter months and virtually empty in the summer.<br />
<br />
Frustration over the seasonality has mounted and owners are constantly looking at ways to overcome the problem.  Many have looked at SpaCapsule® and similar products to solve the problem.  However, without the right marketing plan many of these attempts have been in vain.  After many years of research and customer recommendations, SpaCapsule® has launched a SpaCapsule® Marketing System that is included with the purchase of each Spa Capsule®.<br />
<br />
The SpaCapsule® Marketing System is a combination of direct mail, print and electronic media including posters, hand-out brochures, postcards, press releases and gift certificates.  "Many salon owners have contacted us in frustration because they are not investing their time and attention into proper marketing" stated Allen Licht, managing partner and creator of the SpaCapsule® Marketing System.  "I have been surprised to hear some of the stories from salon owners that just do not know how to market.  Our system standardizes a program but also allows each salon to customize the program to fit their market and customer base.  The approach is simple in theory, but without proper planning can simply be overlooked because initially the response to anything new is always high, but to maintain a consistent traffic pattern requires planning and marketing."<br />
<br />
"I truly believe this piece of equipment is a good and positive thing and could very well help people and help us make money but I just need some help marketing it." Stated Crystal Mortland, Paradise Tans.  "Thank you so much for shining some light on the subject!   There is light at the end of the tunnel for us!"<br />
<br />
"Crystal&apos;s case is not uncommon," Stated Jeff Greene, Vice President of Sales for SpaCapsule® "I hear the frustration from Salon owners that see the SpaCapsule® as their savior.  The SpaCapsule® can be a tremendous profit center.  It does not sit in the corner and print money, but it can if properly marketed."<br />
<br />
The SpaCapsule® Marketing system creates templates for over 15 brochures related to massage benefits for men, women, children and seniors.  Also included are brochures on massage benefits for fibromyalgia, back pain, headache and arthritis sufferers.  Postcard templates are included for all holidays, birthdays, introduction and specials.  Gift Certificate templates are also included.  All templates can be customized and printed conventionally or electronically.<br />

      <title>Spacapsule® Massage Defines Religious Modesty</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Users remain fully clothed and are not touched.</p><p>Miami, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/21/2006 --  Massage Parlors have taken on negative connotations over the last hundreds of years as these are often veiled "houses of ill repute".  Thus massage, historically done by women, has been looked down upon by many whose modesty is guided by religious observance.  SpaCapsule® has expanded its reach into Egypt and the Middle East with the unique Capsule design and the ability to administer a therapeutic massage to individuals who are fully dressed and without human touch.  The benefits of massage are well known and documented.<br />
<br />
Here are some newly reported benefits of massage:<br />
<br />
Medical school students at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School who were massaged before an exam showed a significant decrease in anxiety and respiratory rates, as well as a significant increase in white blood cells and natural killer cell activity, suggesting a benefit to the immune system.<br />
<br />
Preliminary results suggested cancer patients had less pain and anxiety after receiving therapeutic massage at the James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio.<br />
<br />
Women who had experienced the recent death of a child were less depressed after receiving therapeutic massage, according to preliminary results of a study at the University of South Carolina.<br />
<br />
These and other benefits have eluded those who are uncomfortable undressing around strangers or have religious or ethnic aversion to disrobing or being touched by members of the opposite sex.  SpaCapsule®, which provides a massage using a patented multi-jet technology, provides a relaxing massage that is variable depending on the individual user for pressure and pulsation while user remains fully clothed.<br />
<br />
"Our sales to this segment of the market have been strong" stated Jeff Greene, VP of Sales. "I was not aware of the strict religious codes until coming to SpaCapsule®. This has been more of a chance encounter, but nonetheless great for sales."  "Our distributors in Egypt, Jordan, UAE and Kuwait are all seeing tremendous traffic.  Even some Spa Capsule owners in the United States have commented on increased business serving customers whose religious modesty is a priority."<br />

      <title>When the Sun Meets the Water</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Tanning Salon Industry diversifies with SpaCapsule</p><p>Miami, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/17/2006 --  The tanning industry has evolved from a being a single bed in the corner of a gym, to tanning salons offering full lines of products as well as many amenities you would normally find at a health spa type establishment.  The huge growth in the tanning industry has necessitated that salons provide unique services to differentiate themselves and provide a competitive advantage. By adding ancillary services to an existing tanning salon, owners are creating multiple streams of income and providing customers with a complete source for all of their body care needs. In fact, many salon owners are realizing that diversification is essential to steady profit centers.<br />
<br />
Tanning salons have a loyal customer base, which come to their facility to achieve a great-looking tan while relaxing and getting a little "me time." Many salons are offering a number of ancillary services that can help add additional revenue with a minimal investment of money and staff. A SpaCapsule® hydro-massage unit fits this profile perfectly - providing a wide range of health benefits and adding additional revenue to the bottom line without having to deal with additional staff.<br />
<br />
In a recent study on the tanning industry, 92% of the tanners said that indoor tanning made them feel rested - the warmth and peace is relaxing. In addition, 91% felt that indoor tanning allowed them to take a break from stress - where cell phones, pagers and other high-tech modern intrusions can&apos;t reach them.  Finally, 84% reported that they tan indoors because of the warmth - a factor especially important during the peak winter months.<br />
<br />
In a separate survey, 96% of tanners said that they enjoy massage, 84% would pay for the ability to get an "unlimited massage" program and 99% felt massage was a good gift.<br />
<br />
These are precisely the type of customers who readily value the numerous benefits of regular massage sessions in a SpaCapsule®.<br />
<br />
"SpaCapsule® has improved my traffic and improved my cash flow." stated Jeff Mortland, Paradise Tanning.<br />
<br />
SpaCapsule® requires minimal maintenance and can pay for itself in less than 4 months.  The Company has recently extended its standard warranty to two years and sales are increasing at a dramatic pace.   "We are seeing dramatic increases in our web traffic and our sales inquiries" stated Jeff Greene, VP of Sales.  "Tanning Salons have been among our most active industries to embrace SpaCapsule® as an additional service to their customers and more money for their bottom line."<br />

<br />
"Our Canadian, Saudi Arabian, New Zealand and Australian distributors are scheduled to attend the next course." Stated Greene.<br />

We have found that effective marketing and exposure will make a distributor successful."<br />
