Spa Focus
Are you considering re-imagining your spa , to draw your guests in with pampering and add-on sales ? Look no further , as we line up a case study and product suggestions for you to get the ball rolling
A spa is a place for relaxation , indulgence of the senses and pampering for the body . For your spa clients – towels , robes and the textiles of their environment are often those items which come into closest contact with them , and so they need to be perfect .
Since 1968 , Linen Connect have been supplying some of the finest textiles to many of England ’ s most luxurious health clubs and spas ; and from our gorgeous fluffy Turkish towels to the embrace of our bath sheets , and comfort of our robes- we make sure that connection between you and your client is protective , nurturing and perfect .
We also understand the demanding needs of our customers and provide linen that not only looks good , feels good but is durable enough to withstand the fast pace of the leisure industry . We have some of the largest stocks of any supplier , with world-class logistics to make sure you get the right product on time , every time . The leisure market is thriving and growing , and we can help you meet that demand without ever worrying about your linen .
Visit us online at https :// linenconnect . com to see more of our products such as : Sorento , a 550gsm Luxury Turkish towel , Stratus , a 430gsm cotton leisure towel with a blue , green or gold header bar ; Orion , our lighter 400gsm cotton leisure towel with a grey header or our terry or waffle robes .
We are Linen Connect , the textiles partner of choice for hospitality and hoteliers nationally .
BC Softwear has supplied the finest Hotels , Laundries and Luxury Spas , for over 15 years , earning itself an outstanding reputation for the highest quality and consistency , but also for longevity of product and where prompt delivery service are of prime importance . We have been particularly successful in the Spa sector , where the challenges of oil absorption , quick turn arounds , and sudden fluctuations of occupancy are becoming more and more frequent .
Our treatment bed makeover kits have been adopted as standard offerings in over 80 % of the UK spa market . The towels in this kit , cover the whole bed as one towel , thus being less towels to take off the beds after each treatment , with reduced oil absorption , and light weight towels that are quick to wash and dry . More importantly we carry all our products in-stock in the UK , with prompt delivery on a next day basis , and no minimum order quantity , to help when those fluctuations of occupancy occur . Similarly , we offer a large range of options for disposable slippers , although in the last few years we have seen more and more of our spa customers moving towards their own branded flip flops , which we manufacture with any design , colour or logo . Rubber flip flops have proven to be safer in wet areas , and since most guests will take their branded flip flop home with them , they create a great marketing opportunity , at the same time saving on 1000 ’ s of disposable slippers filling up land fill sites , so a key environmental contributor .
