What is the 50/50 Program?
When a practice or medical spa signs up for Acara’s Business Boosting Program, they only pay 50% of the fee. If the Acara team increases their business by 50% within 3 months, then they will pay the balance of 50% as a success fee.

Why such a Special Offer?
Essentially, we are betting on our track record. Due to the success of our Business Boosting Program, 80% of our clients have doubled their sales in the past 12 months; so we have decided to up the ante and share in the risk. Thus, the Acara 50/50 program was born.

Where is the program available?
Acara works with practices nationwide and abroad. We work exclusively with one practice in a market at a time, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
