FREE ONLINE WEBINAR
September 17th, 2025 | 9 AM PDT | 10 AM MDT | 11 AM CST | 12 PM EDT – Why more operators are choosing flexible, revenue-ready footprints.
Whether you’re launching a lakeside retreat, upgrading a wellness studio, or dreaming up a multi-unit thermal circuit, modular outdoor saunas offer more than just heat. They offer flexibility, beauty, and a deeply resonant customer experience.
In this live session, Cedar & Stone’s Head of Sales, Derek Plagman, will share insights from the field, drawn from hundreds of real-world sauna builds across North America.
You’ll learn how outdoor saunas are being used by entrepreneurs and operators to create premium bookable units, mobile experiences, membership perks, and immersive thermal circuits.
We’ll cover:
- Strategic placement and site integration
- Business models for outdoor units (private rentals, memberships, VIP add-ons)
- How to scale with multi-sauna layouts and seasonal activations
- Real design choices that drive long-term success and brand differentiation
If you’re building a sauna business or reimagining your next phase, this conversation will leave you inspired, informed, and equipped with field-tested ideas to bring your outdoor wellness vision to life.
