Finding Your Demographic

In the pursuit of getting floating covered by insurance in the West, it certainly looks like Canada is in the lead! Lance shares exciting progress made by the CFC in creating a manual about floating that will assist in getting acceptance from the NHPC. Also regarding insurance coverage, Amy reads a letter from a Float Nashville floater who has greatly benefited from floating following an injury but is having trouble getting insurance on board for assistance. Our hosts brainstorm ideas of what float centers can do in terms of documenting progress and healing in a way that would have meaning to insurance carriers.

How Many Float Tanks for Your Center?

by Leave a Comment

How many tanks are needed to run a float center? In terms of finances, the mission of the business, and the needs of the community? How about the personal goals of the owner(s) in terms of running a steady lifestyle business versus a business that seeks to expand number of tanks, number of services, and even number of locations?

Speaking of expansion! Amy poured herself a glass of champagne this week and shares with us her exciting news regarding her second location. Our hosts discuss how to pause for celebration in moments like these when there’s always another hurdle just around the corner. There was a setback this week with the floor installation in Dylan’s new float room, but he and the team turned it into an opportunity to make progress with painting and tiling. Lance shares how he and the Canadian Float Collective have been working with the National Health Practitioners of Canada to get floating reviewed to hopefully be covered by health insurance!

Becoming a Resident to Start a Float Center – Dylan’s Salty Mailbag

Hey folks, today I am posting a letter from a float friend who is working on starting his own float center. As you will read, he has a long journey ahead of him, and I am very inspired by his determination. He is going through a difficult time right now and I am hoping that we can have people post comments of inspiration or some kind of insight for Rishi.

Is a Flashy Float Tank Worth the Investment? | Dylan’s Salty Mailbag

by 15 Comments

In today’s post I respond to Rishi, who is trying to decide between a cheaper $6K float pod or an expensive $19K float pod.

Hey Dylan,

I am in something of a fix. I have an option between going for a $6K pod and one that costs $19K. The expensive one looks gorgeous and is much simpler to install and operate for obvious reasons. It is also aesthetically pleasing and I notice customers find it more appealing to get into.

Would you say 19K is too much for just a tank? I’d be taking a loan at that!

Dylan’s Salty Mailbag

by 6 Comments

This week I’m dipping into the ‘ol mailbag!

This week we received a question regarding wooden bath mats, which strangely I have a lot of thoughts on.

Hello, Dylan,
When we visited after the conference, I remember looking at the bamboo grate/mat things you had on your floor and thinking that looked like a good idea. But now I’m looking online for them, and can’t find anything like it. Where did you get them, do you recall? Do you remember what they were called, even?

Thanks!
