How can i advertise my services more?

Question

I am a fully qualified Male Complementary Therapist, i have just recieved a Foundation Degree in Complementary Therapies including Massage, Aromatherapy etc. However i just feel that i cant get anyone or very little people interested in wot i do and to become clients. I now know i will be charging, but now that i do i have less clients, could it be my shyness getting in the way, because i dont promote my services enough? How can i advertise for new clients, would business cards help? What if i never get any clients?

Answer 1

Email popular websites and have them advertise your services.

Depends on where you'd like to advertise them.

Answer 2

They would help, but add some other services that you wont charge but will make the client talk about to his/her friend. Like when a massage client comes offer him/her some wellness tea or other soothing things u know best. Create buzz by surprising them with nice unexpected services. Think about this - "Last time when i went for a massage, I got this aromatherapy soap (smell mmmm nice) for free and above some wellness tea, it was such a nice experience" let your clients experience a difference and they will tell others.

Answer 3

Add a free listing to: The Male Massage Therapist website

Answer 4

If you haven't tried it already, Lookcube is a great choice to advertise your small business or service.

http://lookcube.com

Lookcube is a free local classifieds website. Ads on Lookcube stay for 30 days and automatically renew, which is a real timesaver for small business owners. Craigslist ads expire after 7 days, so reposting can become a real chore.

It only takes a minute or 2 to create a free ad with photos. The more places you post the better chance you have of growing your business, so taking a minute to create an ad is definitely worthwhile.
