Comment on Fibromyalgia Patients Need Your Touch by TherapureBODYworks

I know some people with Fibromyalgia. I think the biggest problem I’ve noticed is not lack of understanding on the condition, but the thought that massage will cause more pain since everything else already hurts. I think it has more to do with being stuck in the mindframe that nothing can help them and they are stuck with the condition that they have.

Retailing may require more effort but it can also be a great source of profit especially when done right!

I think Groupon and Living Social are great ideas! The people who buy discount sessions may not be return customers but they may refer you to someone else. And you get a huge amount of exposure in your market when the deal goes out. Maybe someone doesn’t buy the deal but remembers your name when they want a massage!

Hi, this is a great way to justify the gift of a massage over some material item- might put this info somewhere near my gift certificates! Thanks for sharing.

I appreciated this post about fibromyalgia. I think there are still a number of people who don’t fully understand this condition and how massage therapy may benefit some of these patients.

Avoiding using massage therapists would not be the proper way to do it in the real life. But it’s interesting to find out that accupressure finds its way into the medical research.

Comment on Do You Facebook? by Karen Menehan

It’s important to remember that social networking is “a” tool to use for marketing.

I just finished writing an article on social networking for our March issue’s Practice Building column, and as “vllen” says, I do note there that’s it’s important to have your own standalone website too.

It is much better to have your own website that gets found for the keywords ‘massage, your city’. You can build relationships through your websites by providing information and educating potential clients about what you do and what massage can do for them and find your “Ideal Massage Clients” If you sit on uggs outlet uggs outlet store facebook for an afternoon (which I have done just to see for myself) and watch all of the stuff that people put on their profiles – I don’t want to know that much about my clients lives – the stuff like the problems they are having with their kids or spouses or relatives. They make offhand comments that can really be taken out of context. It is also too voyeuristic for me.
