/24-7PressRelease/ - OLYMPIA, WA, April 09, 2008 - Massage therapists looking for ways to increase business this spring may be missing the boat. Recent surveys show consumers like to spend a sum equal to many bodywork and spa services for Mother's Day. Promoting Mother's Day massage gift certificates can be an easy way to increase revenue, and bring in new clients.
Here's the top five reasons to use this time-proven massage marketing tool.
• Mother's Day ranks just after Valentine's Day in massage gift certificate sales.
• According to Constant Contact's Annual Mother's Day Outlook survey, the majority of U.S. small business owners expect customers to spend $25 - $75 on a Mother's Day gift, making it fit squarely in the massage and bodywork category.
• Small business Mother's Day promotions are increasing each year.
• U.S. small businesses rate Mother's Day as having a greater impact on sales than Valentine's Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, and Father's Day.
• A spa or salon service is the second most popular gift for Mother's Day, just after flowers.
Heather Nicoll, founder of Natural Touch Marketing for the Healing Arts, told Massage Magazine that massage gift certificates are "the original word-of-mouth massage marketing tool."
