This is why it is essential to have a website in place detailing what services you offer so you can properly market a massage therapy business online.

Having good online reviews is not only an amazing way to prove the quality of your services to those doing the research, but also increases your ranking in the “Google My Business” local listings (only the Google reviews impact that rank). Make sure to request reviews from each client whom you are certain had a positive interaction with you and your services.  Give it a try!  It works like a charm!

5. Start a Loyalty & Referral Program

Why do you always go to that same gas station? Most likely because of their loyalty program! Almost any business can do some form of this and offer incentives to their customers to increase that returning customer rate. This is also a great way to gain new customers that see this as an added benefit which other local massage therapists don’t offer.

Growing any business can seem challenging and it requires an incredible amount of discipline to successfully market a massage therapy business. The key with local marketing is to understand your local demographic and the effective ways to reach out to them.
