Italy’s Youspa in strategic agreement with Pure Beauté Inc, goes ‘stateside’ to serve 40,000 spas
Italian startup Youspa, the world’s specialist spa search engine, signs an agreement with Pure Beauté Inc, the American company providing consultancy to spas and luxury brands, to form Youspa US and so enter the US market. On www.youspa.eu, thanks to over 100 search parameters, users can find the best spa for their wellness requirements according to their own particular needs.
Reasons for the move
For Youspa
The United States is the most strategic location for the internationalization of Youspa. eu, firstly because of the widespread digital diffusion in the daily lives of consumers and the sheer numbers of people that can be reached, and secondly for the number of actual SPAs present in the market. These number over 25,000 to which can be added hotels in the biggest international chains who also offer over 15.000 first-class SPA facilities, scattered around all over the world.
This alliance with a prestigious partner such as Pure Beauté Inc – with a management team that brings over 25 years’ experience in the American market – allows Youspa to offer the reach and quality of its services also to American SPAs. In addition, wellness businesses in the USA will be able to further develop their own businesses through the innovative communication and marketing services that the Italian startup has developed.
Régis Boudon-Doris, Founder & CEO of Youspa, stated: “Pure Beauté Inc’s team leaders Crystal and Frank Prescuitti and ourselves share the same business objectives and approach, namely giving first place to medium- and long-term strategies to maintain consistent business growthâ€.Per Pure Beauté Inc
