The
Million Dollar Massage
Welcome
to the January 2006 issue of Million Dollar Massage! I
hope that you had a joyous and blessing filled Holiday! I live
in NH and it was rainy and grey outside on Christmas. But the feast
that I cooked and the love & laughs of family made it deliciously
happy inside.
This issue will feature four Million Dollar Massage tips:
- an After Christmas Sale
- how to use Thyme & Oregano essentail oils
- a funky leg stretch
- Breast Rest - The Greatest Solution
Now that the big rush is over, it’s time for everyone to enjoy
much needed rest and recuperation. January tends to be an unhurried
month as folks re-group and get back into the flow of daily life.
Because it tends to slow down it’s also the perfect time to work
your massage practice and promote specials that will keep you
busy for the next 2 months.
Today’s tip is to promote an “After Christmas Sale”.
Post season sales attract lots of attention and this campaign
is super simple.
If you do a mailing to 80 of your customers right now and 10%
respond, you could bank an extra $400 - $700 dollars depending
on how much you charge for the session. That’s a pretty good
after Christmas bonus for you and your clients will be just as
satisfied.
Follow these simple directions and keep your eye out for 2
fabulous offers that I listed at the end of the tip.
I wish you a prosperous and fulfilling New Year!

After
Christmas Sale
How
to do a Successful Mailing
It's
best to do a postcard mailing (postcard stock comes 4 to a page).
Your message will be short & sweet and the postage is much cheaper.
Here are some easy tips for a successful mailing:
- Keep it simple
- Offer your client's $10.00 off their next treatment
- Be sure to include an expiration date
- Write a sassy ad
Your
ad could look something like this:
AFTER
CHRISTMAS SALE!
The
holidays are a time to celebrate with friends &
family but it can also be a time of stress &
exhaustion.
REVIVE & REJUVENATE yourself
with a wonderful, post holiday, healing massage!
Please
take $10.00 off your next session.
Think
about laying your body down, listening to soothing music and
having the stress rubbed right out of your muscles.
It’s
too good to be true.

Special
Offer #1: This campaign looks so much better when
it's done on Publisher. If you are interested in the template
for this postcard, I will send it FREE to the first 50 who
respond. You must have Publisher in order to open it.
Special
offer #2: If you are not comfortable printing all
of this out, I will do it for you. You’ll get 80 postcards
and 80 return address labels for $20.00
Again,
if you mail out 80 cards and 10% or 8 clients take you up on
the offer you could make an extra $400 - $720 Your cost: $19.20
for postage, a minimal investment for the postcards and if
you choose Offer #2, $20.00 extra for the printed cards.
This
campaign works and your clients will get a sense that you care
about them to offer them an “After Christmas” special. Good
Luck and let me know how you did.
Thyme & Oregano
Essential
Facts about these 2 Powerful Essential Oils
Let's
face it, we are in the cold & flu season again. Two oils that I
keep handy in my office and at home are - Thyme & Oregano.
Both
of these oils contain the chemical constituents of phenol,
carvacrol, and thymol which are highly anti-bacterial,
anti-viral and anti-microbial. Because of the strong properties
in Thyme &
Oregano, it's best to dilute with a high quality carrier
oil (I use Jojoba).
The
Great News about pure, therapeutic grade essential oils is
that they provide healing benefits to our bodies without harsh
synthetic side effects.
When
a client complains of, "coming down with something" or exhaustion
or even minor sniffles, I reach for my Thyme or Oregano.
I simply place a few drops on the bottom of their feet followed
by a few drops of Jojoba oil. (I might also do Raindrop Therapy
which contains Thyme & Oregano plus 7 other essential
oils). The oils are absorbed through the feet very quickly
due to the large pores. In fact, the oils are able to affect
the cells within 20 minutes of application.
Other
reasons why pure, therapeutic grade essential oils are such healing
agents for us are:
they are lipid soluble and can penetrate cell walls easily
they contain and transport oxygen and nutrients into cells
they increase the production of white blood cells which strengthens
the immune system
oils with sesquiterpenes are able to cross the blood brain
barrier, thus oxygenating the brain
essential oils have a bio-electrical frequency which helps
to raise our frequency
Every
aromatherapist has their favorite brand and I am no exception.
I only use Young Living Oils because they are grown organically
and are distilled with integrity. My suggestion is that you
use a brand that you love and trust and you'll witness awesome
results.
A
word of caution with Thyme & Oregano - they smell very
strong! I used Oregano on my husband just before Christmas
and he politely asked me not to marinate him in cooking
oils again LOL. By the way, even though he smelled like spaghetti
sauce, his vitality greatly improved.
I
just love incorporating essential oils into my practice and
over the years I have seen profound results. If you would like
more information on essential oils, please feel free to contact
me. I have a couple of great books that I can refer.

for 1 Leg Stretch
Provide
ROM & a Quadriceps Massage in One Step
Here's
an effective and easy technique to add to your Million Dollar
Massage tool box.
- stand at client's right leg
- scoop up heel with your right hand and place your left hand
under the knee
- slide leg toward you until lower leg dangles off of the table
- using both hands, massage quads using petrissage
Repeat on other leg.
This
technique will help to open up the hip joint and create flexibility
to the abductors.
For
another variation, try doing the massage without oil. Simply
lift and squeeze the quads moving from the hip to the knee.
Your clients will notice the "newness" of this technique.
Stay
tuned, more Million Dollar Massage techniques will be
revealed.
