How to Create a Spa Certificate in Microsoft Word

Just like a gift card, a gift certificate gives customers value or store credit that they can spend to purchase in-store. Gift cards or gift certificates became a thing when Blockbuster invented them in 1994. Twenty-six years later, gift certificates are still an effective marketing strategy for businesses.

If you create one in Microsoft Word, you want to make use of certificates for your spa business. We have some tips below that you can use as a reference when you decide to make your own spa certificate.

1. Use Your Branding Wisely

Branding is not only your business name and logo; it also includes your brand positioning and purpose. In your certificate, you can add a slogan to establish what position you want to take, i.e., give back to the community through discounts. You can also use images to support goals and purposes. 

2. Find the Balance between Design and Texts

Although design elements are essential in making your spa certificate more appealing, they should not overshadow the details that are relevant to the purpose of the certificate. Find a balance with the position and amount of designs and texts to include. If you want to highlight your details more, you can use line illustrations and other simple yet attractive designs to make it more artistic.

3. Use a Simple Layout

The more complicated the layout, the more you make your certificate challenging to read. There must be a continuous flow with your designs and texts to ensure details are easily understandable. Avoid using up too much space when there is only little to include; leave some white space to make the details flow more smoothly.

4. Create a Visual

Creating a visual is related to finding a balance with your designs and texts. You can elevate your certificate by knowing how to mix colors to achieve an eye-catching look. You can also use images and icons to present your purpose stylishly.
