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!
