Good Deal or Bad Deal

I saw on another site where some posted "Prepay for unlimited massages for a year Only $2250!" is this a good deal or bad deal? I have mixed feelings behind this one!!! But i do think it is good over all though

So long as they are limited to one massage a month on that deal. I would think it would be ok. But the therapist would have to be very moneywise I would think. I probably wouldn't do a 12 month deal but a 6 month personally. But I am new and maybe someone else knows something I don't.

I think its a great deal for the therapist, 2 or 3 or those clients and you will have your rent covered for the year! However, getting it would be a challenge, I think.r- And seriously, probably NOT such a great deal for the client, though, unless he/she was in a profession where having a therapist on "retainer" was necessary for helping them to maintain their ability to do their sport/activity.

One system that works, though, I used to go to a therapist that sold blocks of 5 prepaid massages for a price of 4 massages off the rack, that worked for me, and assured her steady income, despite her weekly bookings. A win win all around, and leaves the client with some flexibility....

I offer my clients two options of packages. One gets them $7 off each session if they pre-pay for 5 (like getting one for a little less than half price). The larger one takes $15 off each session if they pre-pay for 10 (which is like paying for 8 and getting 10). This is great for families/couples who see me; they share the package and purchase them more often. It's been a win-win for me and my clients. Also great for the holidays, clients can keep some and gift some; clients continue to be regulars and I get some more potential regulars too!
