Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 01, 2016 -- The Wellness App by Spafinder Wellness 365® has been named a winner of a 2016 International SPA Association (ISPA) Innovate Award for “Experiences.” The Wellness App allows users, for the first time, to find, book, review and pay for spa/wellness services –and earn rewards–at an unprecedented global network of wellness providers, all from their mobile phones.
To determine winners the ISPA membership reviewed award submissions from candidates around the globe and cast their votes for the ideas they found most innovative in four categories: experiences, philanthropic initiatives products and treatments.
“We are highly honored to receive this prestigious Award from ISPA,” said Spafinder Wellness, Inc.® COO John Bevan. “With the App, Spafinder Wellness has created a new branded currency that people can use specifically for spa and wellness activities. For businesses this means being able to easily reach consumers who are increasingly using smart phones to shop and find locations, plus a streamlined check-in and check-out process for spas and their clients.”
The Wellness App was developed by Spafinder’s marketing and technology teams and debuted in late March to the company’s vast network of over 25,000 wellness businesses. Providers on the app include spas, fitness, yoga and Pilates studios, salons and wellness travel destinations.
