4 Ways to a Successful Massage Business

 
There’s not doubt that any savvy business owner wants to be successful.
Here are 4 top tips to be successful as a massage therapist.

1. BE CREATIVE IN FINDING WAYS TO ENCOURAGE NEW CLIENTS TO TRY YOUR SERVICES

  • It is great customer service to offer existing clients discounts or ‘freebies’ as a way to thank them for their ongoing loyalty.
  • You can send texts or email messages to remind your clients of their appointments.  You can also send them details of any special offers you may be running.

3. ENCOURAGE PAST CLIENTS TO RETURN

If a client hasn’t made a booking in three months or more, send them an email or text message to say ‘we miss you’, and offer them a discount on their next massage.

4. HAVE A SELECTED RANGE OF PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN YOUR CLINIC

Contemplate selling a selected range of products that complement your massage therapy, such as aromatherapy oils, scented candles, and body lotions and scrubs that your clients can at home
