Floating is not only a healthy, stress relief treatment, but it can be a beneficial service to the local community and a good business too.
Floating as a business can be an excellent additional service to some spas, day-spas, hotels, sport clubs, gyms, doctor’s practices and last but not least for float centers.
We have our own return of investment ROI business plan calculation (please send us a request in e-mail to receive it) ready to help your business decision and to help to compare the size of your investment and the ROI times (only appr. few weeks ROI difference can be calculated by the price between the float tank manufacturers) when you choose us or other manufacturer. This is a one-time investment into the hygiene and design (as we say: into the premium and future of floating) which will not effect significantly your ROI time (+4-8 weeks), but can be beneficial and a selling point for you for many years and can be greatly appreciated by your satisfied floating guests.
Pricing of a float session
The price of a floating session depends on many things (country, region, quality level of the location, purchasing power of the customers, utility cost, competition, etc.), but there is a rough estimate which is valid in many countries of the world. The price of a 60 minutes floating session is at least the price of 1 hour quality massage. In Europe, it is approx. 30-80 Euro, in North America approx. 40-80 USD. You are free to define and decide the price of the float session in your float center. Many float centers offer automatically renewable monthly memberships for their customers on a reduced float session price. Please note, the Float Spa Premium Floating System is the Premium of floating in hygiene and design, so it gives you a competitive and quality advantage and when you educate, inform your customers about the hygiene and technical advantages of the Float Spa Premium Floating System (water reservoir tank, 4+1 steps water cleaning system, etc. as it is written above), you do not need to compete with the possible lower float session prices of lower quality and lower hygiene level float units. The hygiene level and the water quality is a key factor in the floating business. That is why it is very important to keep our maintenance and operational instructions.
Most of the float centers have a relatively high single session list price (50-70 Euro, 50-60 GBP, 50-80 USD) and a discounted membership price for multiply sessions.
Cost per floating session
The cost of a floating session regarding the filters and chemicals is quite low, thanks to the energy efficient operation and long life filters of the Float Spa Premium Floating Systems. The cost of 1 Float Spa Premium floating session is appr. 2-4 Euro (2-5 USD) regarding the filter cost, but of course you may have other expenses too (like rent, bank loan, labour-, marketing-, utility cost, taxes, etc.). The recommended filter changing period is 200 floating sessions.
ROI
The return of investment time (ROI) is very impressive when you have 3-4 floaters/day/unit and you charge them appr. 30-70 Euro / 60 minutes floating session (depending on the location/country). The cost of 1 Float Spa Premium floating session is appr. 2-4 Euro (2-5 USD) regarding the filter cost, but of course you may have other expenses too (like rent, bank loan, labour-, marketing-, utility cost, taxes, etc.).
