Spark Events Expands Into New Industry

With Valentine's Day Around the Corner, Salons and Spas Look for Spark Events to Drive in Traffic

2012-01-30
OVERLAND PARK, KS, January 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Spark Events launched yet another industry last week - Day Spa's and Salons located throughout the Kansas City Metro Area. These high-end day spas have enjoyed premier status for many years, and are looking to continue their dominance by Spark Event's marketing expertise.

"The entire team is ecstatic about these campaigns, because the day spas have so much potential, and we've eagerly been anticipating the kick off," states Luke Combs, account executive of Spark Events, who was present at all client set-ups. "We market for clients all throughout the region, and the demand for marketing is definitely there, we're just pleased to have this opportunity."

The promotions are designed and marketed by Spark Events. By taking the client's excess service inventory, creating a promotional package, and then marketing it to a target audience-the firm has changed the marketing and sales landscape in Kansas City. Control over inventory is given to Spark Events, because they provide a unique cost effective approach for their clients. Extensive marketing is provided free of cost to each of Spark Event's, fifty clients. This model serves to increase the client's customer base tenfold, and has continually provided unmatched success for all campaigns undertaken by the Spark Events. "There is a win-win-win strategy created because, there is no front or back end cost to the client, the customer gets a great deal on the clients' services, and our marketing firm keeps the revenue generated from sales. This accounts for our continued growth despite the recession," notes Natalie Sue, HR manager of Spark Events. The corporate events division as well as the business-to-business division will execute these campaigns, and with good timing too. "This is usually a slow season for us, but we've already signed up more new members this week then we had in the last 6 combined, in large part due to the increase in traffic," says Reina Houston a local day-spa rep. There is no doubt that more new clients will reap the successful results of the efforts made by the Spark Events team.

Spark Events is a promotional marketing firm dedicated to providing outstanding service to its clients through marketing and promotional events. Spark Events strives for excellence, and the fulfillment of these efforts has allowed it to grow a strong client portfolio. With this growth, comes expansion, and in a few months time, Spark Events, will open another office in the midwest region, to further its track record of excellence.

Spark Events Inc. takes pride in developing and executing promotional sales and marketing campaigns for their clients, to help raise brand awareness, and drive new business to their client's venues. For further information, please contact us at (913) 901-9118.

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have revealed that immune responses play a critical role in conventional cancer therapies. Replication-selective oncolytic viruses are a rapidly expanding therapeutic ...
