Average # of massages?

[Sohan]

Hey Cbia, I am a mom of a 3 yo myself and I only do 6 massages a week ( I have one client that I see twice a week for 3 hours!!)  I used to do my buiness and work at a gym for 10 hours a week and I realized that I was killing myself.  I would rather bring up my son myself for now and once he is in school, I will be more aggresive on getting clients!!  But for now, I like being home and my husband likes being "just the guys" those 2 nights a week that I am out!!  Anyway, that's it!  Good luck!!

Thanks for everyone's input into this thread, it has been very informative.I know the opt times are generally in the evening and the weekends for working on clients...however, I'm kinda hoping I'll be able to develop a client base for early and mid day. I like my evenings and weekends a lot (since for the past year, I haven't had any weekends!).

Gaspen, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do this.  Just consider how you will market it, now while you have the brain working in that direction.  What I have found is the sooner you know HOW you want your practice to be, the better it all comes together.  It may take a little longer to develop a practice like this (or not - I don't know since mine isn't like this), but it shouldn't be so hard.  You may be offering times that other people in your area won't.

A consideration to make it work would be to start really early, like 7am, for people who are looking for something before they go into work, and then take your "brunch" around 10:00 am, and work a few appointments during the regular work day lunch hours, and into the mid day, taking off at 5:00 pm.

A day to consider may look like this:

*7:00 am
*8:30 am
Brunch
*11:00 am
*12:30 pm

I like a little extra space in here to catch a breather and do a little paperwork and running around.

*2:30 pm

That would give you 5 in a day, at some peak times, possibly.  


Or, you could ditch the 7:00am and add in a 4:00pm.

Or you could make a 7:30am, to get the ones before they go into 9:00am work, and not worry about the people who go in at 8:00am because it may be to much of a stretch anyway -- and add that 4:00pm.  

Just a few thoughts to get you going!
