  MARCH 2011: Spa Week’s Fall 2010 Event took the country by storm by expanding its reach in more than a dozen new markets nationwide, reaffirming its status as the largest and most successful Spa Marketing Event in the spa industry. Thousands of consumers across North America were able to experience luxurious spa treatments for the first time while millions more were exposed to some of the most innovative services ever offered during the Spa Week Event. Moving into the 14th season of Spa Week this Spring, Spa Week will continue to raise the bar and deliver the most modern, unique and trendiest treatments available – all of course at its branded $50 price point.
  
  Taking place from April 11th - 17th, Spa Week’s Spring 2011 Event will further expand into even more cities across North America, diving deeper into the next generation of spa-goers. Day spas, medical spas, resort spas, fitness centers and other wellness facilities will offer 2-3 of their most exclusive services for a discounted price of $50 each. Yoga/Pilates and Fitness/Weight Loss Centers, Eyelash Boutiques and even Salt Rooms are just some of the beauty and wellness institutions becoming regulars on the Spa Week roster.
  
  What could be better than indulging in a well-deserved spa treatment after a long, cold winter – guilt-free?
