Massage Therapy Business From Home – Free Marketing Ideas

Free business cards

Many online companies offer up to 250 free business cards that you can design yourself. My favorite is Home Business Center. You can design your personal massage therapy cards using any of their 42 card templates to deliver your message and contact information. Keep your business cards and hand them out to potential clients. Listen to what is being said around you in the conversation. For example, when someone complains of back pain or a stressful week, suggest a massage and give them your card. Also, ask your friends and family to hand out some to co-workers who may be interested in a home massage.

Local Directories and Online Home Business Directories

Submit your business information to local directories. Even if you don’t have a website for your home massage therapy business, your services will appear in local search results. The top three directories or search engines for local maps that you can apply to are Google Local Business Center, Yahoo! Bing local and local listing center. Add contact information, specialty services, photos, and available hours. Also, submit your massage business to local business directories in your area.

Participate in Raffles ticket drawings in your area

Find local events in your area and donate a free massage to the community raffle. It’s free publicity for your home massage business and if the sweepstakes winner enjoys your massage (and I’m sure they will) you got a client and referrals from your network of friends.

Local Classified Ads

Create seasonal classified ads to market special offers or gift certificates for holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s. Submit your ad to Craigslist.org and other local classifieds.

Incentives for existing customers

Once your massage home business starts to take off, you can ask your clients to submit comments to their local business listings with the incentive to receive a discount on their next massage. In addition, you can increase your clientele by offering discounts when they refer you to 5 friends.
