bartering works beautifully....some local radio stations offer trade a deal..or dial a deal...it is worth looking into...i am involved and it FREE....you just might have to give away a few massages..they always come back! what about charities or fundraisers?chair massages? the first 5 min. are free and if you schedule a 60 min massage today...you get half off..or something..vista print is great also..car magnets? business cards are reasonable and they work..i just happen to love the library soo. now and then I will go and put business cards in books...whoever you want to target..people with...chronic pain..pregnancy..depression..holistic medicine..Network..Network..Network..people you know that someone they know..always put it out there...you could "trade" a massage for a "free" website design..talk ..talk....talk..

There is a delightful resource that I used for the design of my company logo that is very reasonable and fun too. It is a website called: 99designs.com
The concept of the site is rather simple. You host a contest, with a minimum prize of $150, paying a contest hosting fee of $49 if my memory serves me right. You can host a contest for anything from the design of a logo to a marketing piece or even a website. Then designers from all over the world submit ideas to you. I had a delightful time doing this. I had many options and was so pleased with my final choice. If you use the resource, my biggest tip to you is to provide a lot of feedback. I had my contest prize set very low, but had many submissions, which only happens if you are active with your contest and make it interesting for the designers.

Hi Rachael! Like many, I've found that word of mouth is the best marketing. Look into referral cards... Massage Warehouse has some that are inexpensive. Create a standard. Every one of your current clients gets a referral card (number them and keep track) before they leave. If they give the "stub" to a friend, the friend will get $10 off their first massage and so will your already established client. I do this and it works VERY well. New clients got a good "write up" from their friend and are excited about a big discount. And your clients are feeling like they are helping you, their friends, and still getting a big discount! You may look at it as a loss, but they WILL be back at full cost. And, all you're "losing" is your time. 10 minutes? Not a bad deal.
Side note: Thanks for joining Go Green! Glad to have you there and looking forward to what you have to share!

Go to DMV re-register you vechile with commercial plates, pay the few hundred bucks extra in insurance per year and logo and put a hone number on your vehcile (not those magnetic signs either) About $250 to $300 to letter, $25 to $30 extra a month in insurance (less if you don't live in Jersey, lol) and you will be amazed! It's the gift that keeps on giving!

Hi Rachel,
I went to a pool party last Friday night and made lots of contacts, which one of them included picking up a corporate accout for chair massages. I will let you know how it turns out.
