- Building Up
a Massage Clientele for Rest of the Year
- by Amy Roberts
It takes courage to start your
own business and massage therapy is no exception. Its a big step
graduating, taking a new turn in your life and going out on your
own.

But it doesnt have to be so scary
with the right planning and approach.
A Massage business is like any
other business- well lets clarify that the principles are the
same.
You need a plan of how you are
going to get clients, thats the first thing to do. Its not use
saying you are a self employed Massage Therapist until you have
clients. And getting those clients takes a strategy.
So how can you develop this strategy
to get clients? First thing to do is to look at how you want
to work. Do you want to specialise in sports massage? Relaxation
massage? Deep Tissue? These answers pave the way for the types
of clients you are going to get. When you know what types of
clients you are aiming for then you can start marketing to those
groups of people. |

Massage Therapy marketing depends
on the target clients you are aiming for. For example if you
are aiming to treat people with sports massage, I can bet you
wont get a whole lot of pregnant women knocking on your door.
Get clear who you are marketing
to and devise a way of how to get to them. Start by working out
the types of problems they have and work out a way where you
can strike up a conversation (either in print or real life) where
you can help to answer their concerns.
Marketing should never be forced
or an uncomfortable process. It should be as easy as having a
conversation with someone, because thats all marketing is. Its
just a conversation between two people and you happen to have
the answer that can help them.
So get started on your planning
now and make 2008 a great year for your massage business. |
