Hands Down Spas, LLC | Application Preview
Hands Down Spas, LLC is applying for government grants to support its recovery efforts. The funding will be used to purchase necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), rehire staff as hotel occupancy remains low at around 15%, procure a tablet and new credit card processing terminal, and enhance advertising. Additionally, the funds will cover the printing of modified menus and signage.
The business plan includes increasing social media presence, launching special promotions, and introducing more retail items to boost revenue. There are also plans to enhance local hotel-to-hotel promotions.
The owner highlights a strong track record in business growth over 26 years in Maui, emphasizing resilience during challenging periods such as 9/11 and the 2008-09 economic downturn. The owner notes that the current situation, while difficult, is not comparable to those past crises.
In terms of competition, Hands Down Spas operates in a market that includes high-end establishments like The Ritz Carlton Kapalua, The Montage, and the Westin Hotels & Resort. However, the spa distinguishes itself by providing exceptional customer service and professional massage and facial services at more competitive prices. This approach has fostered a loyal customer base with many repeat clients.

Business Plan
More social media presence, special promotions and additional retail items to create revenue. Initiate more local hotel to hotel promotion. I have a proven track record with 26 years of business growth here in Maui. I have succeeded during some very dark times in the US which include 9/11 and the 2008-09 crash where Hawaii lost it's 2 main airlines. These horrific times in our history don't compare with our current situation.
