Asset List Available.

Strengths?

- Prime Location: Situated on one of the busiest main roads, ensuring high visibility and easy access.
- Proximity to Schools and Daycares: Strong potential customer base with parents seeking safe, fun, and convenient pampering experiences for their children.
- Near Shopping Centres: Parents can combine errands or shopping trips with spa visits, making the business a convenient choice.
- Unique Offering: A child-focused spa with treatments, hydrotherapy, and party hosting, which differentiates it from standard salons or spas.
- Exclusive Appointment Model: Limiting to 5 bookings per day enhances client privacy, creating a premium and personalised experience.

Weaknesses?

- Limited Hair Service Uptake: Not attracting enough consistent hair clients compared to other treatments.
- Low Demand for Makeup Services: Especially for everyday use, with makeup mostly seasonal (events like matric dances).
- Small Capacity: With only 5 bookings per day, revenue is capped unless prices are adjusted or capacity is expanded.
- Niche Market: Focus on kids means the business may miss out on wider adult spa or beauty client opportunities.

Opportunities?

- Expand Hair Services: Target parents and teens as well, to broaden the hair client base.
- Matric Dance & Event Makeup: Position as the go-to place for school event glam, adding seasonal spikes in revenue.
- Introduce Waxing Services: Cater to older teens and possibly parents, increasing the client pool beyond just kids.
- House Visits / Mobile Spa: Take treatments directly to clients’ homes for parties, sleepovers, and special events.
- Partnerships with Schools & Daycares: Collaborate for birthday packages, wellness days, or end-of-term treats.
- Retail Opportunities: Sell spa products (kids-safe nail polish, skincare, hair accessories) to increase add-on sales.

Threats?

- Competition from Similar Businesses: Other salons, spas, or kids-focused businesses in the area may attract the same target audience.
- Seasonal Demand: Certain treatments (like makeup for matric dances) are not year-round.
- Economic Pressure: In tough financial times, parents may cut back on luxury or non-essential services like spa treatments.
- New Entrants: The uniqueness of a kids’ spa may attract copycats in the area.
