Attention massage therapists?
I am performing seated work therapy at a fair this summer to promote my seated polish business. I have an ez-up with four sides.I am doing free 5 minute sessions.Should I do the massage with the sides closed for privacy,or keep it out contained by the open?Any advice from someone who have had this experience would be appreciated.
Answer: Keep it in the begin. I've never seen massage promotions done at the back "closed doors". The idea is to let everyone see how well brought-up it feels and to hear the comments from the massagees..
I would keep ine or twi sides instigate. the clients will be clothed and not require total privacy but they may feel better if they are facing a closed side while others passing by can see that you are offering this service. they are more credible to use the service if they see you than if they don't. I would say use two sides to form a corner. Face the massage stool into the corner and leave two sides open to show that you are nearby.
I wonder, are you in a position where you are irrelevant to charge for your services? I would recommend the first 5 minutes free and $1.00 per minute thereafter. Five minutes is really not enough for the person to surface the benefit of your work and free work generates more free work. It is extremely rare that someone acceptance a free service will pay for that service later.
If ther entity sits down for 5 minutes and you tell them, ok you're done they may just be aware of frustrated but if you tell them, "your five minutes are up would you like to closing stages here or would you like to pay 5 or 10 dollars for an new 5 or 10 minutes. They will know they have a choice to receive more if they like and if they have a feeling frustrated with only 5 minutes of work, it is because they own chosen it and you also get an opportunity to be compensated for your time, training and hard work.
Just a thought. When I open my healing practice 8 years ago, I gave out a ton of free work, not one of the general public that I did free work for ever booked a paying appointment nor did they send me a single paid client.
The those who have paid usually come fund and usually send me referrals of paying clients. Not to enunciate that I do not work for free to for trade under special circumstances but this does not build a business..
I'm doing the same item this weekend at our town fair. The client is fully clothed during the seated massage, so it's not a problem to maintain all sides open. More populace will see you if you do this. you should get promotional business materials and products check the source.
you should not close in, how are associates going to see what you're doing? Well yes you should always keep the nouns open. But if you are looking to get clients in attendance are specific ways to do that. You cannot just do a massage. You own to ask them about their health problems and next feel their muscles. Then you show them how their problems are being cause by the muscle problem. Then you work on them a little. You tell them that they may take some temporary relief but it will not end. They need a series of treatments for lasting effects. You also insinuate that you are highly familiar with this type of problem and most others are not. You bring up to date people up front that when the muscles get tight afterwards they can pull the bones out of place. Wehn the spinal bones are odd the nerves to their organs can be blocked and they will get sick. You especially target older race with health problems. You communicate middle aged men and their wives that impotancy can happen and massage can free up the nerves. For younger nation you sell them on performance. You inform them that thir sports performance will be better and for guys their sex performance. With every personality you work on you say the magic words "Do you enjoy any health problems you are concerned about?" When they read aloud yes you explain how massage can open the audacity energy up to heal them. If you are working on a kid. You point out to his parents how he is not walking correctly or his muscles are making his posture impossible and this is damaging to him. That my friend is how you sell form care including massage. You are fishing and respectively fish requires different bait. Some hook easy and others must be played. But one thing. You other concentrate on the fish. Meaning you do not talk about the weather. You other continue talking almost thie health problem and how you can fix it. Lastly. You can also along with what I vote do a muscle test. You test the muscle contained by their arm like the deltoid. You tell them it is fragile abd they are sick from the blockage. You then do the massage and retest the muscle. It will be strong. Then rave nearly how well the treatment worked. But remember to tell them they will obligation more treatment to fix the situation.
