The folks behind\u00a0<a href=\"MiniLuxe.com\"><strong>MiniLuxe<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Taking inspiration from a completely out-of-category business, they intentionally set out to do what Starbucks did for the coffee industry. They wanted to develop a business that addresses customer&#8217;s needs, has a loyal following and is located right in their own communities. So, they\u00a0incorporated the Starbucks formula: savvy design, cutting edge systems, a solid company culture, great employee care, excellent customer care, and not being afraid to have an abundant presence.<\/p>\n<p>They decided on the mani-pedi business after noticing how many there are and how popular they are (not unlike Starbucks and coffee houses). Just because there are a lot of others like you out there, doesn\u2019t mean the uniqueness of what you offer can\u2019t shine through.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about the customer and delivering a great customer experience; as their tagline relays:\u00a0 More than beauty care, Self Care; Be You. They\u2019re all about helping you be the \u201cyou\u201d you want to be.<\/p>\n<p>At Brand School we do fun and innovative exercise where we imagine what our business would be like if we twisted it with something completely different and out-of-category.
