Gratuity Envelopes

[rainbowet95]

I'd like to start using small envelopes for gratuities at my spa.
Any suggestions of specific wording I can use to make it seem less like "asking for a tip"?

Gratuity is appreciated for recognition of excellent service.

How about

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!!

Do you offer clients the option of charging tips to CC or do you accept cash only?

You also might want to create a "drop box" for the envelopes so you don't have the whole awkward handing it over, assuming your therapist is not already moved on to the next client, etc.

Ours simply say "Thank You." We also stamp them with stars or other symbols.

The spa I work at has a sign right next to the gratuity envelopes that states that a 20% gratuity is customary for service providers. Gotta say, it works too!

OK, I got the specific wording here:

(name of spa)
GRATUITIES
an industry standard for good service is
At Least 20%
of the Cost of Services

A pre-paid Gift Certificate Gratuity is Customary

Therapists Recieve 100% of Your Gratuity.

(and there is a little pile of gratuity envelopes underneath)

hope this helps!
