marketing for a male massage therapist

I need help.  I need ideas to help market myself in the salon I work in. I have been there for 3 weeks and have done 3 massages.  I have passed out business cards, worked at charity events, free chair massages, posted on line.  I am going to start hanging up flyers around places, but I do not know what else to do.  thank you for any advice.

David

    You gave it a shot. Lessons learned and perhaps that will open up future opportunities. I was in the Food Industry for 32 years. The last 11 I did massage evenings and weekends. Now I am doing massage full time at my own massage clinic.

     

    Good luck and next time be in an environment you like. It will make a difference in how you perceive yourself and the image you project. From your description this was not the place for you.

    How about offering a free 10 min to each beautician that refers you a client, they could build their mins to 30 or an hr.  or could you have them package w you when the client books the appt.  i/e - client calls for a hair cut , have co-worker say "would you like to book a massage before or after your hair cut? we have a MT that is running a special for $30. "  Power of suggestion is a wonderful thing, customer might say not me but I will for my wife, husband ect.  The 10 min free for the co worker would still work too. Good Luck its hard but keep the faith it will work out.
