January, 2007
Dear SpaFinder Insiders,
Happy New Year and a warm welcome to the many new subscribers who have signed up to receive the SpaFinder Insider this year! I love writing the Insider because you are my favorite audience—friends, peers, and spa compadres!
January is always a good time to talk about trends. As many of you know, we recently issued our top ten spa trend predictions for 2007. Throughout the coming year I will be writing more specifically about some of these trends in the Insider, beginning with sleep health next month.
This month, however, I want to share with you a snapshot version of the top trends, including some that didn't quite make it to the top ten but are nevertheless part of 2007's spa landscape.
Thanks for being part of the "inner circle"! I look forward to an exciting year for all of us!
