10 Minute Tasks to Drive Your Massage Business Forward



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.
