Institute of Management Consultants Launches New Spa Consultant Chapter
February 1, 2011 - A collection of 13 seasoned spa industry business consultants was officially inducted into IMC USA and received its charter as the International Spa Chapter at IMC's annual conference in Reno, NV. The group forged an alliance with the IMC when it realized the tremendous strength and value of this 43-year old professional association dedicated to excellence and ethics in management consulting. The founding members of the Spa Consultant Chapter each possess over 10 years of experience consulting within the spa industry, and many more years of working in the fields of beauty, hospitality, wellness and fitness. Founding Chapter President Deborah Evans of SpaSense Group remarks that "Our group came together with the shared desired to raise the bar by creating a mandatory code of standards and ethics for consulting within our industry. Even though we are all competitors, we recognized the need for this, as we’ve seen many projects delayed or incurring serious cost overruns and operational glitches due to the use of inexperienced advisors. We realized that IMC could bring tremendous value to both our prospective clients and our unique niche of experienced consultants.”
Spa consultants provide a wide array of services to hotel and resort owners and operators, real estate developers, and operators of existing spas, including market analysis, financial feasibility and proforma projections, concept development and project planning, and coordination with architects, designers, advertising firms, and in-house marketing, sales and development teams. Spa consultants also create or assist with the development of brand standards, standard operational procedures, staff recruitment, training and compensation, product and equipment selection and procurement, and the development of robust retailing initiatives, in addition to other related tasks.

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
