chair massage

Hi!  I have a great massage practice and work 3-4 days a week.  I also have a girl working on commission for me.  I would like to expand my business by going out to offices and other locations with a massage chair.  I haven't used a chair before, so I could use some input on the in's and out's of chair massage...I just want something else in my practice so that I don't get bogged down.  I currently see many of the same people weekly and have for 6 years.  I either want to add something to my current office or go out more.  Any suggestions?Thank you,Connie

There are many chair massage books and videos out on that market that are very beneficial.  As with the routine you are doing now, you pretty much have to tailor it to your style.I'm not sure where you practice or what techniques you perform, but I think you may need to do a little test marketing first.  Since you already have steady clients, ask them if they and their fellow co-workers would be interested in you coming over to their places of business.  This would be an opportunity to work your marketing skills on people you know and would prepare you for cold-calling other businesses.  If you find it is something you actually are not interested in, maybe you can find a contract associate that will do that while you handle other aspects of your practice.I've found out that I love doing the work, but am very nervous when it comes to marketing my business.  Being forced to do it doesn't make it any easier.  So I started with going to places where I knew some people and that made it a little more tolerable.  And, as I mentioned, I love working on clients and would rather let someone handle the marketing aspect while I learn new and different techniques that I can add to my routines.  Either way, make sure that you are making a decisions that works well with your heart.

Have you tried joining a membership of networking, where you are meeting and talking to several people every week? Toastmasters and BNI are good examples of two places where you can get together and talk to people about how you can connect to people that could use your business. Who knows, who you talk to today, can get you connected with the Head of Personnel, or the owner of the very business that you want to get into!Good Luck, and let us know what happens!

I am planning on getting a chair massage within the next few months.  I think it will be an excellent marketing tool and I am really excited about it.  One of my outreach locations is at a call center and I know the chair will be way better than lugging my table.  One of the first things I will do with it is hit some of the schools.  Some of my clients are teachers and through two on them I found out they a have a health committee and they are the head of it.  What a great opportunity to just go in, you don't have to charge, give a 5 min. back,neck and shoulder massage.  Leave a business card and brochure and I'm sure there will be follow ups.
