You're busy. I get that.
You may think you don't have time to do marketing or other things to help your business. But here's a list of things you can do to help your business - and can each be done in less than 10 minutes.
Do you have 10 minutes today to work on building your massage business? Let's get started!
- Send out a postcard to clients you haven't seen in more than 3 months.
- Email this week's openings to clients and offer a
discount if they schedule an appointment now.
(or don't offer a discount... but DO contact your clients with openings!) - Write a quick article on self-care or benefits of massage for your clients. Post to your blog or website, or include it in your next newsletter.
- Send a postcard with a special offer to clients with birthdays this month, or just a card wishing them a happy birthday.
- Send hand written cards thanking clients who have referred people to you.
- Call a local chiropractor or other complimentary business and schedule a meeting to discuss how you can help each other.
- Choose one of the business or marketing articles in massage magazines or blogs and decide to implement one idea from the article.
- Change your voicemail and content on your website to reflect the season so it has a fresh feel to it.
Take 10 minutes a day and work your way through this list. In just over a week, you will have done a lot to move your massage business forward.
