"Over 75% of households in the town of Parksbboro have jacuzzi bathtubs. In addition, the average family income in Pakboro is 50% higher than the national average, and, a local store reports record-high sales of the most costly brands of hair and body care products. With so much being spent on the personal care, Parksboro will be a profitable location for a new luxe Spa - a salon that offers premim services at prices that are above average."
ARGUMENT ESSAY -
The writer concludes that opening of the new luxe Spa in Parksboro will be profitable, by offering premium services at prices higher than avarage, given the spending habits of the general population in Parksboro. The conclusion relies on the assumption that the targeted highly paid demographic which spends money on jacuzzi tubs and saloon products will spend money on the premium services the spa will offer, seems justified.
First, writer states that the fact 75% of he households in the town of Parksboro have jacuzzi bathtubs in their households. Also the fact that sales of hair and body care products has been on a record rise. This suggests that the general households like to spend money on persnoal body care in general. This aspect of the demographic can be very well harnessed to reap profits from opening a luxe Spa and attract this highly potential customer.
In addition, it is a general fact that households with higher salary scale, as suggested by the author, have a high scale social structure, where following precedence is vaulable and considered highly moral. If a few people start going to Luxe Spa, that will eaily set a trend amoung the friends and colleages, who would follow, just to keep the moral social status. This again would work in favor of Luxe Spa.
Finally, it seems that providing the premium services at higher cost than avarage would not be an issue with this above average salary households, especially given the reasoning about keeping the status and following the precedence. Hence, given the evidences mentioned by the writer, the argument about the profitability of Luxe Spa would hold true.
