The largest showroom for whirlpool baths in Spain opens in Teulada Poligono

TEULADA, Spain, 2018-Feb-07 — /EPR Retail News/ — With a wide range of different models from renowned manufacturers, Whirlpools World Spain gives visitors a comprehensive overview. Conveniently situated at the N 332 (exit Teulada), their new showroom in Teulada Poligono will celebrate its grand reopening on Saturday, 10th February. With a total exhibition area of approximately 3000 square meters, it is the largest showroom for whirlpool baths in the whole country and almost twice as big as the former location of Whirlpools World Spain just a few kilometers away in Moraira.

„Moving from the coastal road to the national road we can offer our customers an even bigger selection and demonstrate, what the different whirlpool bath models can do for them. This includes the possibility to thoroughly test and try out the whirlpool bath of your dreams“, the wellness experts from Whirlpool World Spain point out. As everybody has a different idea of what wellbeing actually is about, the customers‘ demands are as diverse as the different whirlpool bath models. Besides the classic hydrojet massage, for example, additional features like illuminated water fountains, light- or aromatherapy can have positive effects on body and mind.

To ensure that the new whirlpool bath owners can concentrate on pampering themselves and have nothing else to worry about, the experts from Whirlpools World Spain also take care of installation, shipment, connection and maintenance. Customer care includes servicing devices and components from third-party manufacturers as well.

1Foot 2Foot Centre for Foot and Ankle Care selects NCR as technology partner

NCR Silver links reporting, inventory management across three diverse businesses under one system

DULUTH, Ga., 2017-Jul-28 — /EPR Retail News/ — Looking for a multi-store solution to gain better insight across three diverse businesses, 1Foot 2Foot Centre for Foot and Ankle Care, a leading podiatry practice in Suffolk, Virginia, found its mobile point-of-sale (POS) partner in NCR Silver.

1Foot 2Foot Centre founder, Dr. Matthew C. Dairman, DPM MS, began his search for a technology partner when his previous system failed to scale across his companies. In addition to founding 1Foot 2Foot Centre, Dr. Dairman owns and operates a footwear retailer, the Shoe Fits, and Stems Nail Spa, which offers pedicures, manicures, massages, reflexology, and facials, along with a few other pampering treatments.

While Dr. Dairman and his team found their scalable solution in NCR Silver, they also found an easier way to do business.

“Initially, we wanted a mobile POS that we could carry with us, whether at the counter or around the store,” said Tina Rountree, Manager and CTS of the Shoe Fits. “However, we use NCR Silver for so much more than that, from inventory management to better customer engagement.”

With NCR Silver, management now has access to real-time inventory levels at all three businesses, rendering the company’s old manual processes obsolete. Dairman’s team recently deployed NCR Silver scanners as well, allowing his employees to automatically log inventory updates with a simple barcode scan.

1Foot 2Foot Centre, The Shoe Fits and Stems Nail Spa also use NCR Silver’s email marketing functionality to enable store management personnel to easily send personalized, opt-in email communication and coupons to customers. For management, it’s a simple way to generate repeat business and drive customer loyalty.

“With NCR Silver, small business owners find an ally to make day-to-day operations simpler and more efficient,” said Chris Poelma, president and general manager, NCR Silver. “As Dr. Dairman and his team demonstrate, NCR Silver is so much more than a mobile POS; it’s a platform that allows all types of businesses to gain an overview into overall performance, whether you’re operating dozens of franchise locations across geographies or three foot-friendly businesses in Virginia.”

To learn more about NCR Silver, visit www.ncrsilver.com, or call 1-877-630-9711. NCR Small Business provides live, 24/7 U.S.-based customer support for NCR Silver users. NCR Silver mobile POS runs in the cloud, uses consumer-friendly technology, works on Apple® devices running the latest iOS, and offers a POS solution catered to franchises as well.

PetSmart announces the opening of its new concept store in Oceanside, New York — the PetSmart Pet Spa

PHOENIX, 2016-Aug-19 — /EPR Retail News/ — PetSmart is pleased to announce the grand opening this Saturday of its new concept store, the PetSmart Pet Spa in Oceanside, New York. The new store by North America’s largest pet specialty retailer features innovative elements aimed at offering an enhanced pet lifestyle customer experience and is intended to test out various ideas for consideration within PetSmart’s 1,460-plus and growing store chain.

The new PetSmart Pet Spa store, located at 529 Atlantic Ave, features a heavy emphasis on pet services and has a unique, modern design with approximately 7,400 square feet of space – a smaller footprint than PetSmart’s typical stores, which average about 18,000-20,000 square feet. According to the American Pet Products Association, Americans spent more than $60 billion on their pets last year, including on services such as grooming, and the new store is intended to draw and gain insights from this important trend.

The store features a first for PetSmart stores, a self-service dog wash where pet parents can bond as they personally bathe their pups. Pet parents can also choose from a range of grooming services where pets receive hands-on care by academy-trained, certified stylists dedicated to making pets look and feel their best. The store’s pet food collection includes a refrigerator/freezer section and is focused on pinnacle natural nutrition – high-protein, grain-free, organic and raw food including such brands as Blue Buffalo®, Natural Balance®, Nature’s Variety® Instinct®, Only Natural Pet® and Wellness®. Also featured is prescription pet food for a range of pet health needs fromRoyal Canin Veterinary Diet®. A high-end capsule collection of pet essentials such as collars, beds, leashes, toys and pet gift ideas rounds out the product assortment.

A coffee bar-lounge area provides complimentary coffee and comfortable seating for pet parents, while pets receive grooming services, or for a break after the energetic fun of a self dog wash. A pet hospital operated by PetSmart partner Banfield® is adjacent and among the largest of its kind at a PetSmart store.

“In order to innovate at retail, you have to try new concepts and that’s really what the PetSmart Pet Spa in Oceanside, New York, is all about,” said Eran Cohen, chief customer experience officer, PetSmart. “Like any spa, our Pet Spa store is intended to provide the amenities and comforts to enhance one’s lifestyle, but this time with your pet. This first-of-its-kind PetSmart store allows pet parents to bond with their dog using our unique self-service dog wash or hang out in the comfort of the coffee bar, while pets are being groomed by our talented associates. We are eager to see consumer reaction to the Pet Spa concept, learn from our Oceanside customers and apply that learning going forward.”

Store Details Include:

  • Modern Pet-Lifestyle Design – the first thing customers will see when they walk in the door of the PetSmart Pet Spa is an overall modern aesthetic and a circular “concierge” desk featuring a bakery case chock full of baked dog treats.
  • Self-Service Dog Wash – three self-service dog wash bays give pet parents an easy solution to bathe and bond with their pet, especially after a day at the beach, which is just a few miles away. The washing stations feature wall-mounted washing and drying equipment and an array of complimentary shampoos and conditioners that address a range of needs from de-shedding to skin sensitivities.
  • Grooming Salon – the grooming salon is positioned directly next to the self dog wash area with fun header signage above: “lather, rinse, repeat…or leave the styling to us.” The salon features a completely new and unique layout with five grooming stations anchored by a large circular column with wide, easy-to-maneuver table top spaces for the PetSmart grooming staff – all of whom are academy-trained and undergo 400 hours of certification training. A bathing area with stainless steel tubs allows for washing the pups and a movable kennel area with high-velocity no-heat dryers comfortably air-dry pups after a comforting hand-towel drying. Stools just outside the windowed grooming space allow pet parents to observe their pets as they receive their services. Near the salon is an expanded collection of at-home pet grooming supplies from popular human brands like CHI®, Burt’s Bees®, as well as pet brand, Furminator®.
  • Coffee Bar-Lounge Area – seating for 12-plus and complimentary single serve beverages from MARS DRINKS including pressure brewed espresso, fresh-ground coffee, real-leaf teas, hot chocolate, cappuccinos, lattes and more.
  • Retail Space – features high-end pet essentials including collars, leashes, beds, toys and great pet gift ideas, as well as all-natural, wholesome pinnacle pet food – a rapidly growing segment among PetSmart shoppers and pet parents.
  • Banfield Pet Hospital – is adjacent to the Spa space and shares the same front door and includes its own check-in desk and waiting area. This pet hospital is among the largest inside a PetSmart store and includes surgical rooms, x-ray rooms, a feline room, comfort room and kennels.

Grand Opening Festivities
To celebrate the grand opening of the PetSmart Pet Spa, PetSmart is having a grand opening event this coming Sat., Aug. 20, starting with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. Pet parents are encouraged to attend and bring their four-legged friends to join in the fun!

Faboverfifty.com Launches Unique Beauty Testing Program To Find The Most Effective Products For Women Over Fifty

FabOverFifty.com, has launched a unique beauty testing program to find the most effective beauty products for women over fifty.

“We didn’t want to do the same old thing,” says site founder, Geri Brin, “where a beauty company sends out anti-aging products to a 25-year-old beauty editor, and she tests them out. We want to give the power to our community of women over fifty–they decide what works. Our site is all about women speaking to each other, and so is our beauty coverage.”

Women over 50 in this country spend over $30 million a day on personal care products–more than any other demographic. But when it comes to figuring out which beauty products will work for their needs, there are few places to turn for advice. The average beauty editor or beauty blogger is in her 20s, and her picks for “what works” have very little relevance for fab over fifty women.

That’s why FabOverFifty.com launched its innovative product testing program –to create a source for smart, unbiased beauty product reviews, by and for women over fifty. Each week, FOF features a new product promising to heal, help or beautify boomer women. Products include everything from anti-aging serums and nail strengtheners, to skin revitalizing supplements, hair thickening treatments and more.Any member can apply to test the product by leaving a comment on the site. FabOverFifty sends the product out to a group of women (typically between 5 and 20) to review.

When the member reviews come in, FOF publishes them all–the good, the bad and the ugly.  So far some of the most favorably reviewed products have included Palovia Skin Renewing Laser, Bring It Up’s “Instant Breast Lifts,”   12 Benefits Hair Products, and Dermelect’s 3-Step Stem Cell System.

FabOverFifty is actively seeking submissions from beauty companies willing to put their products to the test. If they pass muster, they’ll become a part of the vibrant beauty dialogue on faboverfifty.

Spa Covers by The Spa Bra

The Spa Bra is not the top half of an itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie yellow polka dot bikini. Nor is it the latest fashion craze for lounging around the spa. In fact, it’s not an apparel item at all. But brace yourself, because it just might be the next big thing to sweep through your neighborhood.

Spa Covers by The Spa Bra

The concept of The Spa Bra™ was conceived as Arizona native Mary James started to see the damage that her own hard spa cover was sustaining under the blazing Arizona sun. With her spa strategically placed in the center of her well manicured yard among flowers and plush landscaping, she worried that her spa would become an eyesore in the midst of the serene atmosphere she had worked so hard to create.

Necessity is truly the Mother of Invention and The Spa Bra™ became a reality. Ms. James realized that spa owners around the world have a similar need to protect their spa investment by protecting their expensive hard spa cover from the damage by the sun, wind, rain, ice and various environmental elements.

The Spa Bra™, ecommerce (www.thespabra.com) grand opening was launched in 2008 and is being featured in several spa stores in the Valley. New products have been introduced, including The Spa Bra™, The Spa Bra™ With a Lift, The Spa Bra™ Hard Vinyl Support Cover, The Bar-B-Bra Grill Cover and The Spa Bra™ First Edition.

The Spa Bra™ is made of waterproof, sun resistant outdoor material and hugs the hard spa cover to protect it and increases its longevity. Even if a cover is already damaged, The Spa Bra™ restores its appearance and defers the necessity of replacing another expensive hard cover. New cover owners love knowing that their expensive hard covers are being protected for years. The Spa Bra™ can be used for spa covers of many geometric sizes, shapes or forms and is available in a wide variety of patterns and solid colors.

The Spa Bra™ First Edition is being acknowledged by Arizona winter visitors as a product that will allow them to close up their spas and not have to worry about the intense Arizona sun damaging their spa covers while they are away during the summer months. The Spa Bra™ First Edition has a heavy duty cinch around the base of the cover to prevent it from blowing away during the Arizona Monsoon season.

The newest product from The Spa Bra™ to be introduced is The Bar-B Bra or Grill Covers in Arizona, by The Spa Bra™, that is designed to protect your grill. The Spa Bra’s, Bar-B-Bra will withstand the test of wind and weather but will also provide a beautiful accent to your outdoor decor. Unlike the thin, black plastic grill cover that becomes destroyed in the wind, the Bar-B-Bra is constructed with a heavy duty cinch at the bottom which will prevent your cover from flying away.

New Visible Brilliance By Elemis

British spa and skincare brand Elemis has launched the latest product in its skincare range: an innovative skin radiance booster suitable for all skin types and ages.

With the skin containing minerals that are important in maintaining a healthy glow, Visible Brilliance from Elemis aims to bring brightness and luminosity back to skin that has been damaged by environmental pollution and lifestyle stresses. This new skin radiance booster from Elemis actively targets the skin’s metabolism to brighten, lift and re-energise fatigued and stressed skin.

Harnessing the power of multi-minerals including Copper, Zinc and Magnesium combined with Red Seaweed, Swiss Garden Cress, Blonde Pea Protein and Dew Bean, it restores and repairs the skin for instant radiance.

Noella Gabriel, Director of Product and Treatment at Elemis, commented: “Everyone’s lifestyle manifests itself in different ways. As a result, today’s ‘modern skin’ reflects the signs of stress, pollution, medication and early menopause. The skin starts looking dull, lifeless and imbalanced. To restore radiance we wanted to develop a lightweight serum that is easily absorbed and power-packed with minerals and vitamins that are key to the improvement of skin function and cell renewal. With Visible Brilliance, customers will see an instant glow.”

Upon application in the morning and evening, users of the new serum will notice an iridescent gold and silver appearance, resulting in a translucent glow to the skin. When combined with Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, the serum also helps to create an ideal base for makeup application.

Elemis Has Announced Details Of Its New See The Difference Eye Duo Set, Featuring Products Designed To Prevent The Signs Of Stress, Tiredness And Ageing Around The Eye Area

The new limited edition eye care set from Elemis features an Absolute Eye Serum, containing absolutes of rosewood, osmanthus, lavender and chamomile which helps to decongest and reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eye area whilst gently preserving, lifting and refining the eye tissue.

Also contained within the set f r o m Elemis is Pro Collagen Eye Renewal, a lightweight cream-gel that’s clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area by up to 60% in just 28 days*.

The ‘See the Difference’ Eye Duo is a strictly limited edition and will only be available f r o m the 4th – 31st May at spas, salons, selected retail outlets nationwide and online, and comes presented in a faux leather jewellery box.

Jo Malone Launches Second Edition Kohdo Wood Collection

The World of Jo Malone introduces the second season of the limited edition Kohdo Wood Collection. Two captivating fragrances created as a modern interpretation of the ancient Japanese incense ceremony of Kohdo: the ritual appreciation of incense.

One of the three formalised Japanese arts, Kohdo is a ritual that has been handed down f r o m generation to generation in Japanese society, taking over thirty years to master.

Today, the Kohdo ceremony is a journey of discovery that is made with friends, where moods are manipulated according to the natures and personalities of scents. The blend of ingredients in the day and night fragrances have been designed to inspire the senses and encourage emotions. For the day: uplifting and invigorating, and for the night: soothing and sensual.

Through a blend of mandarin, sacred lotus blossom, bamboo and aloeswood, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily – Kohdo Wood day will awaken the senses, encourage energy, inspire confidence and focus the mind, making it the perfect daytime scent.

Mandarin has a vibrant and lively nature, referred to as the little heart of the sun, it is thought to shed light on the drudgeries of the everyday and encourage a sense of joy. The sacred lotus blossom is serene and spiritual, symbolising the dawning of a new day. Bamboo offers strength and grace and aloeswood is believed to impart both mental and physical benefits to balance the mind and body.

Dark Amber & Ginger Lily – the night fragrance in The Kohdo Wood Collection – is a combination of black cardamom, orchid and kyara wood and is designed to encourage relaxation, it’s sensual and calming aura creating a sense of intrigue and mystery. It is the perfect scent to use f r o m early evening through to night.

Originally used as a perfume in ancient times, black cardamom has an aromatic and smoky nature, while the orchid carries a universal message of beauty and wisdom. As a base for incense, kyara wood is prized for its rarity and richness and its character embodies the true historical and cultural significance of the Kohdo ceremony. It is both relaxing and stimulating, an essence that’s said to be appropriate for meditation and celebration. This dark and sensual mix signifies refinement and perfection and brings the essence of evening to this night scent.

Like all Jo Malone Fragrances, Jo Malone Kohdo Wood Collection will be available to purchase online f r o m the beginning of April. Lotus Blossom & water Lily is available in a Shower Gel, Cologne and Home Candle while Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is available in a Bathing Soak, Cologne and Home Candle.

About Jo Malone: In 1994 Jo Malone opened her first store at 154 Walton Street London, selling a collection of personal fragrances, skin care and a selection of Scented Candles and bath & body products. Today the World of Jo Malone continues to both constantly challenge convention and educate on the way that fragrance can enhance everyday lives.

Beautiful packaging and thoughtful presentation is synonymous with the Jo Malone brand. F r o m the first moment the iconic gift bag with signature bow is received, a sensorial journey begins. A Jo Malone gift is the perfect pleasure, a luxurious way to create a lasting memory.

The New Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask By Elemis

Elemis, the pioneering British spa and skin care brand, has unveiled its new Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask, which is due for release in April 2009.

Elemis has recognised the problem of the skin’s cell renewal process declining as people age. In 2006, after three years of research, Elemis launched a skin care programme that facilitated natural cell renewal of the dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, more radiant skin. This range was the Tri-Enzyme Programme which won several beauty awards after its launch including being voted the CEW Best New Skincare range 2007.

Following on from this success is Elemis’ latest innovation; the new Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask. This new product is a highly active gel based mask that combines the Elemis-patented Tri-Enzyme Technology with anti ageing Tetra Peptide, Amazonian Acerola Cherry, White Truffle, Great Burdock, Erysiumum and amino acids to encourage effective resurfacing of the skin’s surface.

Elemis Tri-Enzyme Technology adapts to the individual’s micro flora and skin condition, an important factor given that everyone’s skin is different. When the skin’s acid mantle drops below 4.5pH, enzymatic action decreases dramatically, resulting in rapid ageing. Elemis Tri-Enzyme Technology uses the synergy of Organic Acids with micro-encapsulated enzymes to support the micro flora enabling safe and highly effective skin resurfacing.

Noella Gabriel, Elemis’ Director of Product and Treatment Development, said: “After years of research we wanted to bring clients a resurfacing gel mask that is an active system to ‘take home’. Sadly, in the last few years, we have constantly been confronted with customers suffering with damaged skin from too harsh and abrasive treatments which have left their skin unsafely thin on the surface, very sensitive and in need of TLC. At Elemis we are proud to be able to offer a safe, yet powerful resurfacing programme that works naturally with the skin’s natural resources. It is our promise that we only create products that adapt to the individual’s skin as everyone’s skin is different. This Gel Mask gives skin a remarkable, visible radiance.”

The Try-Enzyme Programme includes a resurfacing homecare regime designed to address concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, acne and superficial scarring and uneven pigmentation.

Elemis Has Added To Its Anti Ageing Body Care Range With The Introduction Of The New Pro-Collagen Body Serum Intensive Lift

Studies have shown that as skin ages, collagen and elastin degenerate and cell cohesion loosens as the skin loses calcium. Pro-Collagen Body Serum Intensive Lift is a non-sticky, easily absorbed gel-serum that stimulates the fibroblasts (network of skin fibres) to speed up cell-communication and aid the production of collagen and elastin.

The serum harnesses micro-lattice technology which has been designed specifically for the body to target ageing skin. The technology uses Mexican skin tree and amino acids to strengthen the cohesion between skin layers. A lattice forms to protect against external forces while the acids stimulate the skin’s Natural Moisture Factor (NMF).

As part of the Pro-Collagen range, Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Serum Intensive Lift is an anti ageing product designed to restore skin firmness and elasticity to instantly tighten slackened skin of the buttocks, abdomen, arms and neckline.

Noella Gabriel, the director of product and treatment development at Elemis, said: “An ageing skin is a thinning skin and as skin ages it starts to slacken and lose elasticity. Whatever your age, stress levels effect your skin so good skin maintenance is a must.

“Elemis recognises that consumers are more aware, educated and sophisticated in their needs from a body product than ever before. Not only do they want to moisturise but want to address their anti ageing concerns. I am very excited to have created a product to meet this demand.”

Noella continued, “We at Elemis have sourced natural, powerful ingredients from around the world to deliver a super soft after-feel on the skin, designed to be layered without feeling the overload.”

The natural ingredients used in the new body serum include paracress (a flower bud originating from South Africa), peptide pea pods (which stimulate skin firmness and elasticity while reinforcing the skin’s natural moisture) and acacia gum (which creates an immediate skin tightening effect and wrinkle filler).

The full Elemis anti ageing body care range, which was originally launched in February 2008, also contains Elemis Pro Collagen Radiantly Smooth Body Cream and Pro-Collagen Hand and Nail Cream.

About Elemis:
Created in 1990, Elemis is the leading luxury British spa and skincare brand. Elemis partners with over 1200 luxurious spas and salons, 130 cruise ship spas, British Airways Elemis travel spas and over 100 retail stores around the globe.

For Those Seeking A Flavored Massage Candle Option, Skinny Dip Candles Introduces Sensual Edibles

Rolled out in mid-February, Sensual Edibles massage candles are currently offered in six flavors: Cherrylicious, Chocolate Decadence, Orgasmic Orange, Passionate Pina Colada, Sensuous Strawberry, and Wicked Wild Berry.

Company founder and CEO, Karen Porter, states, “The flavored massage candle line came about f r o m multiple customer requests for a massage candle that tastes great.” While Skinny Dip Candles have traditionally been used for moisturizing the body and as a massage oil, Porter stated that “many of our customers use the candle for romantic couple’s massage and we had many requests for a flavored massage candle.”

Porter states that the six flavors currently available in the Sensual Edible line were selected with customer input. The flavors were also based on the popularity of the company’s top selling Barely There Lip Balm flavors.

Like the flagship Skinny Dip Candle line, Sensual Edibles are made f r o m natural ingredients. Sensual Edibles are made f r o m cosmetic-grade soy, avocado oil, beeswax, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, and vitamin E. The Edibles line features flavor oil instead of fragrance or essential oils.

Like traditional Skinny Dip Candles, Sensual Edibles melt at just over body temperature and are ready to use immediately after extinguishing the flame. Porter adds, “The melted lotion is extremely rich, so a little goes a very long way. It’s terrific when used on cuticles, elbows, heels, dry hands, and anywhere the skin is dry. Even though the warm lotion is super emollient, it completely absorbs into the skin within just a matter of minutes.”

Priced at $14.95 retail on the company’s website, SkinnyDipCandle.com, Sensual Edibles are also offered at wholesale pricing for qualified resellers.

Skinny Dip Candles and other company products are also available in select gift shops, spas, and salons across the U.S.
