Are You Making This Classic Massage Therapists' Marketing Mistake?

Don't Become Victim To This Offline Marketing Pitfall

Remember the there by five card that doctors used many years ago before computers were invented.  They called it their "patient card", a 3x5 card with scribbles about the patient.  

It started with the patient name, it may or may not have had an address but at a minimum, it recorded the date the doctor saw the patient and the reason for the visit.

These cards accumulated into hundreds and sometimes thousands. This was the doctor’s patient database.  Not that he called it that himself, to him and everyone else at the time it was a “patient card”. 

Times have certainly changed and unfortunately many massage therapists do not see the need for keeping a “patient cards”.  It was extremely important to his practice.  Ok, you're no doctor but the idea behind it is the same; longevity of your practice. 

In marketing these cards would have been labeled "customer/client cards",  We refer to it as a customer database i.e. a collection of information on every customer, client or patient. You would think that a database requires a computer?  It does not.

Even without a computer you should have a database. This is more important than getting new clients. 

Not doing this is the biggest marketing mistake made by many massage therapists.  It creates a huge hole in their business operations.  The sad fact is if their great grandfathers saw the need for it on copy books; why is it being ignored today?  

Computers do make it a lot easier to accumulate, record and manipulate the information as various needs arises but it is not absolutely necessary.  

Without a customer database you are just a peddler in the market place looking for the best price for your services.  Think about a market vendor at the local market and you will get the picture. 

Decide quick, today, that you must build a client data base.  Take the quickest route even if it means a plain sheet of paper.  Don’t leave it for tomorrow, this is extremely urgent, the future of your business depends on it. 
    
There are many benefits, just think creatively and you may be able to come up with some yourself.    

As we go along I will share a few tactics you can use with your database. Test everything and see how it works. Start with your past clients.

That’s all for today.

Stay Blessed.

Massage Therapists In Trinbago Should Celebrate Ash Wednesday

A Cultural Phenomena - A Captive Market 

Ash Wednesday should be the beginning of the year for Massage Therapists in Trinidad and Tobago.  

There is no other time of the year when so many Trinbagonian are hurting from using muscles that were only used last year. 

Walking, chipping, jumping  and palancing penerates muscles and sinews and cartilages; they pain.

The muscles in my lower foot from the tip of my toes to my calves are mushy and painful.  Having quite a few contacts in the industry I felt that at least one would contact me and offer their services.  

What really hurts was when I had to call the person I had my last massage with, (I hate calling her my MT anymore) she did not call me. But I still made the appointment for this afternoon. Does that say anything to you? 

It was only after I made the appointment that I thought about what actually happened.  This is not how it was supposed to work. 

I had recommended to one MT last week that she take advantage of the captured market of weary masqueraders but I think she was more focused on masquerade.  

I suggested that she give a couple of the band owners she knew a small flyer offering each a free massage.  My idea was to offer a foot massage for about 10 minutes each. 

The person would have to make an appointment for the free massage and be qualified to receive it.  . 

The intention is to separate the people who are open to a massage from those who are not and to use the ten minutes to up sell them on a full body massage.  

There is nothing like having a captive audience where you can begin the consultative selling process. 
Everyone in the country who played Mas this year have aching feet today unless they played the Mas on a float.  

If you are a therapist without clients today you should certainly reconsider your marketing. 

If you are a client with aching feet, contact me and I will recommend a good Massage Therapist in your area. 

The number is 686-7396

Why Every Massage Therapist In Trinidad and Tobago Should Use Facebook

The #1 Reason Why Every Massage Therapist in Trinidad and Tobago Should Use FaceBook

Facebook has become synonymous with the Internet in Trinidad and Tobago.

In fact, when you put meaning to the statistic generated within Facebook the numbers tell an interesting story.

Here are some findings with interpretations.


As of March 2nd 2011 there are:

Exactly 403,860 people 13 to 64+years old registered on Facebook who actually live in Trinidad and Tobago. With a census population of jus
t over 1.228,691 according to World Stats, it means that approximately a third of the population in T&T are registered on Facebook.

The total internet usage in Trinidad and Tobago is reported to be 485,000 representing 39.5 % of the total population now get online.


Eighty three percent of the people on the Internet in Trinidad and Tobago are registered on Facebook.

Compare the 33% of the total penetration on the Internet in T&T to the 77% penetration in the United States.

Would you imagine that there would be a greater percentage of people in the US registered on Facebook?

Not so, the US penetration is only 43% compared to T&T 83% Facebook penetration.

Facebook has penetrated the psyche of Trinbago culture almost as much as the Internet.

Here are some other interesting Facebook statistics on Trinidad and Tobago. Facebook calls this the "estimated reach", i.e. the number of people in a particular age group in Trinidad and Tobago that Facebook reaches:
  • There are 218,040 people on FB who live in Trinidad and Tobago between the ages of 18 and 25 inclusive
  • There are 275,740 people on FB who live in Trinidad and Tobago between the ages of 25 and 50 inclusive
  • There are 36,000 people on FB who live in Trinidad and Tobago between the ages of 50 and 64 inclusive.

These are interesting statistics because now it can be concluded that Facebook has a reach, in the 18 year olds and above, of 529,780 Trinbagoians.

That is more than the Express (45K), Guardian (40K) and Newsday (40K) a total circulation of 125,000 daily. Facebook reaches five times as many Trinbagoians. .


What does all this mean to massage therapist in Trinidad and Tobago? It means that all these entities cannot ignore this social network. It means that they must find a way to leverage it to accomplish their missions. Facebook is not fading away.


Some of the early adopters will be the first to maximize the Facebook potential but many will continue to see it as just another social network. It is a social medium but it’s also a communication medium with the pre-requisite infrastructure to support any type of communication.

Users have the ability to use email, instant chatting and sharing information all within the network. It’s the ideal medium to maintain constant contact with any group, company, organization or a significant segment of the Trinidad and Tobago population.

Ignore it at your own peril.
