The biggest and most common question from massage therapist is how do I promote myself?
Here are some questions I have for you:
- Where are you located?
- What kind of business do you have?
- Do you have a specialty?
- Do you have a budget?
- Are you willing to do any public speaking?
- Are you motivated?
- Do you own a massage chair?
- Do you have a brochure?
- What is in the content
- Do you like to write?
There are so many ways to promote oneself if you are motivated!
Local groups and organizations love presenters
Magazines and local papers are a great place to send a press release or write an article
Health Fairs, craft fairs etc., are a great place to offer demo chair massages and hand out information
Social media if targeted correctly
Blogging etc.
You must know your target market! You got to be motivated!
