Top Massage Marketing Tips
One of the best massage marketing tips is to work out how you can make it easier for your clients to book an appointment with you.
As you've probably realized by now, not every one of your clients rebooks while they're in your office. Some of them have schedules that plain don't allow them to organize things very far in advance, while others just dislike committing to something in advance. Instead they call you up at the last minute and hope to get an appointment.
If you're just starting out in business, you've probably got quite a few spots each day open, so there really isn't a problem for these clients. However, the busier you get, obviously the less last minute openings you have.

This is when massage marketing tips like this one come into their own!
Email Marketing Service
Set up a daily email marketing service that your clients can subscribe to. There are loads of email subscription services around. For suggestions see business specialtyThen at the end of each day, email your subscribers with a list of your available appointments for the following day. You can give this service a fancy name, like the "Last Minute Club".
This is one of the most effective massage marketing tips you'll find to help you fill your last minute openings. However, it will only work if you have just a few openings each day. More than 3-4 a day simply shows your clients they really don't need to book in advance and could actually hurt your business instead of helping it.
Benefits -vs- Features
Another of the massage marketing tips you'll want to make use of, is that people buy on benefits (not features). So to get people to sign up for this, you'll need to put it in terms of the benefits to them. For example:- It let's them easily work a massage into their busy schedule.
- They can find out just by reading their email whether it's possible for them to get a massage appointment that day.
- It let's them book massages when it's convenient for them
