A spa/beauty multi-session protocol (e.g. 6 facials, 10 laser sessions) sold as a single package. Clinically and commercially superior to single bookings: completion rate rises to 80%+ with proper reminder cadence.
In the Vietnamese market, this concept interacts tightly with Zalo OA reach, VND cash/QR payment mix, and the district-cluster dynamics of competing venues. Applied properly it can move 5–15 points of 90-day cohort retention.
PEKO operationalises this concept as part of the loyalty layer that runs alongside the venue's existing booking system (Booksy, Fresha, Mindbody, KiotViet, or paper) rather than replacing it.
FAQ
Which Vietnamese verticals does course of treatments apply to?
Best fit for barbershops, nail bars, hair salons, spas and beauty salons — verticals where rebook discipline and the guest-stylist relationship drive most of the revenue.
How long does implementation take?
With PEKO, a small venue typically goes live in 3–5 days: contact import, Zalo OA connect, basic reminder cascade switched on, then tuning over the first 2–3 weeks.
Do I need to replace my current booking system?
No. PEKO is positioned as a loyalty layer on top of existing booking systems — Booksy, Fresha, Mindbody, KiotViet or paper diaries all stay; PEKO adds retention on top.

Gift voucher
Prepaid credit purchased by one guest for another. Highest-ROI Q4 product for spas and salons in Vietnam; ~40% of redeemers become first-time guests who then enter the regular retention funnel.

Loyalty program vs discount
A loyalty program rewards future behaviour and trains repeat visits; a discount rewards past behaviour and trains price sensitivity. The two look similar on a receipt but produce opposite long-term economics.
Term
Punch-card mechanic
The simplest loyalty pattern: N paid services earn one free. Underrated for barbershops and nail salons because the "almost there" effect lifts visit frequency in the final 1–2 punches.
