Bookit Live offer a voucher code purchase meaning you can give discounts or gift purchases and Mind Body online I am pretty sure do the same.

Jeff Shearer replied to Robin Streit's discussion Preventing Burnout"Hi Robin
This is a great topic to bring up. I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling the way you do.
I too put myself to the edge of burnout many years ago by overworking. I ended up with a chronic shoulder problem that lasted for a couple of…"

Jeff Shearer replied to Jeff Shearer's discussion Building your client base"Hi Julie
You are exactly right. Relationships are key. Relationships with clients (obviously professional), relationships with other practitioners and local businesses. I agree that advertising isn't the only way. For the first ten years of my…"
Julie Onofrio replied to Jeff Shearer's discussion Building your client base"You just do the same- build relationships like you were but now you have to teach the other MT how to do that!
I am also big on websites and get all of my clients from mine. (I hate marketing! ha!)
Advertising usually doesn't work…"
Jeff Shearer replied to Jeff Shearer's discussion Building your client base"Hi Frank
Great approach. The beauty of this is repeated exposure. A must for any client building approach that creates sustainable results. The other aspect is in many cases this approach can be free or vastly cheaper than advertising.
Marketing…"

Jeff Shearer replied to Jeff Shearer's discussion Building your client base"Hey Barbara
Wise words from a veteran practitioner. The key element I see here is a consistent approach. The beauty of this method is that even if someone doesn't respond to one campaign they might respond to the next, or the one after that.…"

Hi Jeff!
I own and operate my own massage business, At Your Door Massage. As you can see, it's an outcall massage business ;) I've been a therapist now for eight years.
As I'm in the clients home, and unless I'm having a massage party or something, I don't perform many 'spa-like' treatments. Hot stone is about as close as I get, and that's pretty rare. I perform mostly Swedish, with many variations of medical and orthopedic style massage, depending on what the clients body kneads ;)
Pleasure to meet you as well!
Kris
