What about creating a yelp deal for new customers, yelp takes a % which is hard, but at least they target in your area, the other thing I would do is talk to physical therapists, chiropractors, physical trainers, acupunturist etc. near your office. Hope that helps.
Good luck.

Hi Tanya,
You are correct. Finding the right & easiest way to market our massage business is really a challenge. Also it depends on the business place, your client base & the services you are offering... According to my point of view, word of mouth marketing is the best marketing method that can easily use to grow the customers. But this needs a some time of period! Your current clients can be a great source to promote your business via word of mouth. Also some fliers, posters & leaflets may be a cheap and easy choice.
Social media marketing also can be a great idea. But you need to be careful to try the right strategies that will drive you to the success. Hope these facts will help you to get and idea on the perfect marketing method for you.....
If you need more details you can find more detailed facts below!

I still have 2 more weeks of MT school so I'm already trying to network. I want to specialize in Sports Massage so I plan on getting out to some races, either paid or volunteer, to get my business cards out there. I've already got a website through ABMP and a blog so I am letting my friends know about it via FaceBook. I also plan on networking with some local businesses like gyms, running stores, biking stores and health food stores.
