Business model
  1. Software as a Service provided as a monthly subscription service to individual licensed professionals and Salon,Spa, and Wellness businesses.
  2. Opportunity for private-label branding and ad placement throughout system for beauty product Manufacturers and distributors.  Corporate Partner #1 acquired, Dermalogica, Inc.
  3. Opportunity to market this system to additional verticals or license portions of the technology.  Chiropractic & Veterinary are top of our list to research and pursue.  
Competitive advantage
We beat all of the main players in this space in overall features, functions and price.  In addition, our system is more relevant than any other product to every segment of the industry including Salon, Spa, and Nail Professionals, especially to the largest demographic of Independent Professionals. 

A unique technology architecture that makes our online tools very valuable to product manufacturers and distributors, as well as licensed beauty professionals.
The VirtualSalons & VirtualSpas system is a technology vehicle to promote additional brands, not only our own brand.  Strategic ad placement throughout the normal workflow has provided opportunity for continual marketing to both consumer and professional's interfaces.

Last month, Dermalogica launched a private label version of our system to promote to their professional accounts and we are seeing great results. We are actively seeking additional Manufacturer and Distributor relationships to increase visibility and storm the market with a one-to-many strategy that our competitors don't see coming.
