How to build a pre-opening mailing list – DSP 99

It’s difficult to overstate the usefulness of building a big mailing list when starting up your business. This isn’t unique to float centers, but we do have specific instances that make our cases unique in comparison to other industries. How soon is too soon to start collecting email addresses? Who should you be asking? Graham and Ashkahn drop some knowledge on the subject and doll out some useful tips and tricks as well. 

How to handle membership credit cards that fail – DSP 98

Many float center memberships provide a discount on floats that’s contingent on an agreement of a membership fee that has a contract that extends for a certain period of time, usually at least 3 months.

Graham and Ashkahn meander through this concept, while discussing some of the differences of memberships that many float centers offer.

Hydrometers are tools built specifically for this, but not all hydrometers are created equal. What types of hydrometers should you use and what do you need to look out for?

They also explain the common sense justifications for deciding to have waivers as well. 

What type of thermometer to use in a float tank – DSP 95

But what kind of thermometer is going to be the most accurate that can still stand up to the demanding environment of a float center? Graham and Ashkahn weigh in.
