Nea is in California. I just found that out today. She said she would call me when she comes home. We were supposed to aim for Friday. Sorry today was a weird day for me I fell asleep and lost the whole day. I would have contacted you sooner if it wasn't for that.

PS...also local companies here like Frito Lay Inc, has an annual health fair, so that's another avenue for you...:-)

Hi Kevin,
In addition to HR departments, Risk Management contacts are great for "preventative care" marketing. A few years ago I was asked by a local RS company to come do chair massage. They told me the cost of carpal tunnel surgery was about 75k, so compared to paying for their employees, the fact that massage can not only elminate, but reverse CT symptoms, is a great selling feature. The first time I went to the company not as many signed up although the employer was covering the entire cost. They were hesitant and reluctant as they didn't know what to expect, by the time I went a 2nd time word of mouth spread and the number of those signed up DOUBLED and the 3rd time it "trippled." It happened to be too much for me at the time, so I haven't been back, although I just wasn't interested in pursuing a full time practice of chair massage, 2) I couldn't do it by myself and 3) it was difficult to find 1 or 2 professional, steady, & reliable therapists to take with me. I did happen to raise my rates the last time from $15/person, to $20 and they didn't have any problem with it at all--at that time a 1 hour massage was averaging $60/hr. Caution on the Golf Course, it's a great place, but I was recently contacted by a company contracting for a local golf course & they represented themselves as being WITH the golf course, but they were a separate agency and when I checked them out, I found several rip-off reports on them. I'd be happy to provide that info...maybe I should post something about it. Best wishes on your pursuits!

Nope, actually Dr. Jill sold her practice and Jonathan McDonnell (acupuncturist, used to work in education at NYIM) now owns it as ADIO Acupuncture & Wellness Center. They are both great people, though!

Absolutely! I am trying to get me foot in the door at Hammer Packaging. I did a wellness fair there through Harmony Expositions last year. We played email tag , but nothing really came of it. I just sent their HR an email this morning. I am currently typing a letter to my clients letting them know I do chair massage and to think of me for their company,events, wellness fairs, benefits. If I get a bite I'll let you know.

Pretty slow. I will be starting another location in Aug PT so, I'm hoping to get busy!

Yes I do Chair massage. I am currently working toward finding a place I can have a long standing arrangement with. As a means of income as well as building. I don't have a supplimentel income massage is all I have at the moment. Yep I am going to wait till the crap really hits the fan before I get a jobby-job.

It sounds great. Good luck at work may the tipping God's smile upon you greatly. Today is a marketing day for me. I don't have any clients today ,so I need to work on what else I can do to build. What do you find is your biggest obstacle to building a clientele?
