SpaFinder has announced a new agreement with online software company MINDBODY which will see all 12,000-plus spa and wellness facilities which use MINDBODY's software being listed on spafinder.com.
From March, all SpaFinder customers will be able to search MINDBODY's inventory of fitness, yoga, Pilates and martial arts studios and then book appointments online.
In addition, MINDBODY's clients will be able to take part in spa and wellness gift card programmes through both SpaFinder and its beauty divisions SpaWish and Glambition.
All three gift cards are accepted at over 9,000 spas and salons in 79 countries and are sold at 100,000 retail locations worldwide, generating incremental revenue and new customers for operators.
SpaFinder previously founded SpaBooker, a competitor to MINDBODY that now operates independently. SpaBooker will continue to have its properties featured on spafinder.com
Pete Ellis, chair and CEO of SpaFinder, said, "We believe opening spafinder.com to companies like MINDBODY, which offer cloud-based software, truly enhances our customer experience. Consumers will be able to research, compare and book appointments from a number of sources like MINDBODY and SpaBooker on spafinder.com"
Josh McCarter, CEO of SpaBooker added: " The MINDBODY/SpaFinder relationship is a win for wellness customers and further validates the cloud computing model for health and wellness. GramercyOne's SpaBooker will continue its longstanding relationship with SpaFinder, enabling customers and businesses to benefit from its online booking and integrated marketing capabilities."
