Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / hot tub brochure

English term or phrase: at the end of the day

Dieser Spruch taucht zweimal auf: auf der ersten und der letzten Seite einer Hot Tub (Whirlpool) Broschüre.
Zielgruppe: allgemeine Leserschaft, vermutlich gehobene Mittelschicht.

Bei der ersten Erwähnung geht es um die Technik (also im Sinne von: ‘letzten Endes’), da eine detaillierte technische Beschreibung und Aufzählung diverser gesundheitlicher Vorteile folgt.
Bei der zweiten Erwähnung wird eindeutig auch auf die Tageszeit angespielt (man sieht die glücklichen Whirlpool-Eigentümer im Whirlpool sitzend in den Sonnenuntergang schauen)

Ich freue mich auf kreative Vorschläge!

At the end of the day
Buying a hot tub opens a new chapter in your life. At XXX, we design our products for maximum relaxation, fun and health, and build them to the highest standards of quality.

*****

At the end of the day. And not a moment too soon. Your cares evaporate like yesterday’s news. Where did that backache go? Ten minutes later, you’re ready for
whatever else life can throw at you. You knew it would be fun, but you didn’t know it would be indispensable. You’re so glad you invested in a XXX Spa.

Grading comment

Thanks JC- you get the points because the 'Feierabend' idea inspired me to look at your profile ...and your tagline ( 'was nicht ist, kann noch werden'), which in turn led to some brainstorming ... my brilliant husband came up with"wenn alles gesagt und getan ist", which, in my opinion, conveys both aspects of the sentence very nicely. KudoZ to all for your efforts!
