Nordica Sauna + Truemed: Expanding Access to Premium Sauna Solutions

Nordica Sauna, a leading provider of premium sauna solutions, partnered with Truemed to make their high-quality saunas accessible through HSA/FSA spending. This strategic partnership has significantly expanded their market reach and made premium sauna ownership more attainable for health-conscious consumers.

"Partnering with Truemed has been a game-changer for Nordica Sauna. We've been able to connect with a new audience of customers who align perfectly with our mission of promoting health and wellness through sauna experiences. Truemed now represents an impressive 9.37% of our total sales and 12% of our orders. Many of these orders simply wouldn't have been possible without the ability for customers to use their HSA/FSA funds, which has made high-quality sauna ownership more accessible. This partnership not only helps us grow our business but also ensures that we're reaching customers who value health-focused investments. We're excited to continue growing with Truemed and expanding access to Saunas." - Nordica Sauna CEO
