Using the 50/20/30 Budgeting Rule in Cryo Business
As a cryotherapy business owner, it's important to stick to a set budget. But how do you effectively budget a cryo business?
Adjusting this rule can help your cryotherapy business.
The first step is understanding how a budget works while keeping a realistic expectation of what you can achieve. A great tool that helps achieve this is the 50/20/30 budgeting rule. This rule was first coined by Senator Elizabeth Warren and works well for individuals and small businesses in various industries.
Let's see how we can use the 50/20/30 rule in the cryotherapy space to increase the chances of our budgeting success.
How the 50/20/30 Budgeting Rule Can Work for Small Cryo Businesses
50% - Urgent Needs - Small Working Space, Huge Profits
50% of your income should go to urgent needs as per this budgeting rule. For cryotherapy, all you need is an area of 10’ x 10’ to fit a cryo chamber. You can thus spend half of your income on this machine and instantly open up a new opportunity for added income. There might not be any significant increase in the amount spent on rent if there will be a need to increase your space. If the business already has extra unused space, a cryo chamber is a profitable addition. It is beneficial not just for the utilization of space but for value-added services for increased customers.
20% - Savings - Low Start-up and Running Costs
Most small businesses suffer a considerable burden of start-up and running costs. With most cryo businesses, however, both start-up and running costs are low. There is even financing for the machine’s purchase with affordable payment plans. And if you decide not to finance, the return on a cryo machine is relatively fast!
The installation and set up of the cryo chamber is not complicated as well either. Our company, for example, provides white-glove installation if needed. So saving about 20% of your business income should not be a challenge with most cryotherapy businesses.¹
30% - Other Needs - Low Risk and Low Liability
The XR cryotherapy machine is low risk, hence low liability, making insurance premiums affordable. And when a cryo chamber does not put your business at risk, you can go after customer acquisition with nothing but confidence. So when you put everything together in the right context, you can see how the 50/20/30 budget rule makes the most sense even for a cryotherapy business. Using this rule would mean that much of your profits will then go into your other business needs (like marketing).
This figure should amount to around 30% of your income.
Cryotherapy Business Budgeting
Customers often prefer to look for a mall-like experience where they don’t need to move from place to place to get different services. When budgeted and incorporated correctly, adding cryotherapy as a service to an existing business can be very lucrative. A prospect that is looking for your services may not be aware of cryotherapy. Learning how to effectively incorporate this added service can bring about additional convenience for your customers. This will result in more sales and increased likelihood of repeat customers for your business.
The more the customers, the more the sales and therefore the ability to keep up with the budget. Cryotherapy increases the feasibility of a business and, thus, the capacity to follow a set budget. Also, keep in mind that a budgeting plan is not fail-safe. If a business doesn’t have proper planning, budgeting alone is not enough. Small businesses in the cryotherapy space should look into utilizing the 50/20/30 budget rule to effectively incorporate a cryo-chamber into their existing business.
