  1. Another question. I have some ideas already, as to what to
    do for marketing. Things like introducing myself to local
    doctors and other health care professionals, lots of
    buisness cards, offering free 10-15 mini massages (haven't
    figured out where yet) I have some free sites on the
    internet to get some hits and referrals, and my professional
    association (Ontario massage therapists association) has a
    referral option on their site. I figure I'll deliver flyers,
    and hopefully word of mouth.

    Anyone have other suggestions that might work to start
    marketing myself, getting myself known? I have a part time
    position, and it can become full time, there is room, if I
    get my but going. Just a note, I cannot offer discounts, or
    package deals (one of the by laws of my regulatory college).
    I realize that what works in one area may not work in
    another, I am asking around to other collegues and other
    people. However my collegues all graduated the same time I
    did, so have as much experience as I do, and am just getting
    to know others with more experience.

    Any thoughts? Meaghan

  2. Do some regular volunteer work offering massage therapy at
    foundations like PWA, senior citizen centers, CNIB. the list
    goes on and on. I did that every Wednesday morning for the
    first two years of practice and it got me well known in
    various communities.

  3. Another volunteer suggestion; sporting events. Local
    marathons, walkathons, team sports...if you like the sports
    medicine aspect, there's a possible in.

    I have found a couple of websites where you can post your
    name and contact information, and a brief blurb of what you
    do, and they are free. I have been invited to join a
    business networking club, both of which I think are going to
    be good, the club more than the websites, but I'll try both.

    I am in the process of trying to write a letter of
    introduction to doctors and health professionals that are
    in my area.

    As for the volunteering, I am considering volunteering at
    the Living Room (AIDS patients) and next week am
    volunteering for an NHL farm team. We will see where all
    this goes. And hopefully by next week I will have had a
    job offer from at least one of the places I have
    interviewed at 🙂
