Marketing tips: The holiday season reminds us to focus on the many things we have to be thankful for, and near the top of the list is the privilege of working in a profession we love and one where we are loved. A note of thanks to your clients for their continued patronage and sincere wishes for a healthy, happy, prosperous 2010 will be well received.
In summer we talked about establishing relationships with local companies. Now is the time to reap the benefits of these relationships. Suggest massage gift certificates as a way to thank their employees at year's end, you might even include a discount flyer in your thank you notes. Remind them once again the benefits of massage for their employees and be specific. As we know, many companies are struggling in this economy and will appreciate any tips for morale boosting, self relaxation techniques and possible bulk rate incentives you may be able to offer.
I invite you to share any marketing tips and suggestions with our fellow members. Email any ideas you have to handsforhealth50@msn.com. We, the volunteers for the Colorado Chapter of the AMTA, wish you all a happy and peaceful holiday season and a healthy and prosperous new year!
