Reaching Out to Massage Clients During the Holidays

Email icon on a smartphone or other device.

Connecting with clients during the holiday season has become a customary part of most MTs’ annual marketing plans. But that doesn’t mean your client communications this time of year have to be a hard sell. Showing an authentic interest in your clients’ well-being and offering solutions to their problems might be just as profitably effective as promoting that next great holiday special.

Self-Care Check-In

Haven’t heard from a client in a few months? The holidays offer a timely opportunity for you to do a check-in, express your appreciation for their business, and remind them of the value of self-care (especially this time of year). December is notorious for blinding people to their self-care needs, so help clients put it front of mind.

Biz Tip: Consider offering later hours throughout December to accommodate everyone’s crazy holiday schedules and to-do lists.

Massage School Programs at Risk Across the Country

The US Department of Education issued final rules on October 31 that will likely greatly impact clock-hour programs in states with minimum clock-hour requirements for licensure or certification, including massage therapy. The new rule is flawed and, if not changed, will cause devastating collateral damage to schools, instructors, students, and the public. Find out how you can advocate!
