They are in the shopping and relaxing mood and oftentimes want to bring that feeling back home with them. Our customers like to feel and touch our massage tables so we always felt the need for a showroom. 

Our customers don't usually take the products they purchase away with them. They ask us to ship the products to their homes. Often the massage tables arrive back the same day they do, so they can continue the relaxation at home straight away.

Our old showroom was simply extra office space converted to look nice with shoji screens and plants. The showroom was small so all the massage tables had to be kept in their folded position. Although the old showroom served us well and served its purpose, recently we have realised it is time for a change.

Our online sales have increased greatly over the years and we have decided to expand our online USA shipping into worldwide shipping. We needed extra office room for this business expansion so it was the right time to look for a new space that catered for this area of our business that also allowed us to have a better showroom for our walk-in customers.

The good news is we just signed on a brand new showroom. It has enough room so that we can show all our massage tables and spa products in their set up position. Most of our business comes from online sales from customers throughout the USA which will be carried on from the back offices of the new showroom.

The new showroom is due to be finished it's remodel in November and we hope to have a launch party on Saturday November 8th. If you would like to join us for some fun and refreshments and try out a massage table for your home or business please get in touch by phone or email to RSVP.

Color is an important part of life. We draw energy from colors, our moods are affected by colors, and color can appeal or repel.

Which makes it no surprise that when you have to make color choices in important parts of your life, you want to make sure you get it just right. Whether it’s finding the perfect shade for the new paint in the living room, selecting a flattering color for a new outfit, or picking the right option for your new car, color is always at the forefront of our minds.

It’s the same when it comes time to choose the color for your new massage table.

It’s very common for therapists to focus on choosing a massage table in the color that goes with their treatment room, or is complementary to the colors in their brand or logo. To some extent, they feel that the color they choose is representative of who they are and what their practice is about.

There’s just one thing they’re forgetting…

Which is that the upholstery of the table is barely ever seen. Your clients probably have no idea what color your table is, because it’s always shrouded in couch covers, towels or paper couch roll.

And that’s as it should be.

Not only are these coverings there for hygienic purposes, but the focus of every treatment should be complete relaxation and relief - not contemplation of the upholstery.

The more important details for you to focus on when choosing a massage table are the width, length and the thickness of the foam. 

All of these will have a direct impact on the client’s treatment, whereas the color of the upholstery doesn’t affect it at all.

For this reason, we only stock classic colors that won’t be distracting to clients - colors like black, navy, cream and lilac which are the go-to colors for most therapists and suit most treatment rooms.

Remember when you’re choosing a massage table that the most important thing is that your clients will have great treatments every single time. Pick a color that doesn’t assault your eyes when you change the covers, but don’t worry too much beyond that. 

This favorite option might be selected based on its smell, texture, skin penetration, or even just how easily it will come out of your laundry!

Certain treatments call for specific mediums - it’s common in, say, reflexology and spa treatments, that essential oils are an important inclusion.

But for the majority of massages, it’s really up to your own preference about what kind of oil you work with. Among the most common options are sweet almond, jojoba and grapeseed oils, while there are of course many types of lotions and creams concocted with a wide variety of ingredients.

Each of these choices can, however, create problems in your practice.

Each of them has a very particular smell, and fragrance sensitivities are increasingly common.

Should any of your clients have a very sensitive nose, these choices can be extremely distracting and very uncomfortable for them - detracting from the effectiveness of your treatment. If they have sensitive skin, are affected by particular chemicals or have any allergies, then this becomes even more pronounced.

Since the whole point of your practice is relax and relieve your clients, you need to make sure the medium you work with doesn’t cause them distress. 

It’s for this reason that we always point therapists to unscented massage oil.

Selecting something like the Soothing Touch Fragrance Free Massage Oil ensures that all your clients will have a relaxing, restorative treatment every time they climb onto your massage table - without any nasty side effects.

With its blend of sweet almond, sunflower, avocado and apricot seed oils - all low irritant with virtually no scent - this oil smells absolutely neutral and won’t irritate the skin. Not only this, but it nourishes the skin, doesn’t drag during treatment and won’t leave the client feeling sticky.

Soothing Touch Fragrance Free massage oil is one of our best-selling treatment mediums, and we would encourage you to give it a go if you need an oil that won't distract or distress anyone during your treatments.

One of the most common themes that come up in these conversations is that they want their business to really thrive - not just to stand out from their competitors, but to be the hands-down leader in the area. They want a full roster and a line out the door.

So we’ve combined some of the best advice we’ve ever received from highly successful therapy practices, and we’re giving them to you here today:

1. Spread the Word.

Word of mouth is far from dead, despite what you might hear about the rise of social media. In fact, some of your best advertising opportunities are right in front of you - the clients you already have.

Getting referrals from existing clients is an incredibly powerful way to grow your customer base. A referral shortcuts the customer acquisition process, because the referral takes their friend’s trust in you as evidence that you are a good person to deal with and that they will be in safe hands.

Create a referral program for your clients that will make it worth their while to tell people about you. Offer them a discount on every referral they give you, or give them a free treatment if a referral buys a package.

This technique increases your customer base while maintaining the goodwill you already have with your current clients.

  2. Stop Avoiding Sales.

Selling is an integral part of any successful business. Many therapists are extremely uncomfortable with this, and feel like actively selling their services degrades them somehow, or that it’s manipulative to the customer.

But actively trying to find new customers, including upsells and cross-sells and promoting your practice is the only way you will grow.

Consider this: you trained as a therapist to help people. Your skills are in high demand and you are good at what you do.

Yes, sales feel manipulative if you are trying to sell a shoddy product or a service the customer doesn’t need. But you’re not doing that. You’re offering them improved health, pain relief and preventative long-term health care. That’s invaluable - so cast off any negative connotations you’ve got around sales. People need your skills, so make them available.

  3. Get Innovative.

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘Build it and the people will come.’

That might be true of a monument or free burger stand, but when it comes to business, it’s wishful thinking.

You might not have a big advertising budget, but there’s no rule that says you have to run TV or newspaper ads.

You can always put up flyers or business cards in places like:

• Fitness centers
• Health food stores
• Spas & salons
• Community centers
• Yoga studios
• Sports events

There are endless options when it comes to advertising your business. Find other businesses who offer complementary (but not competitive) services and promote each other.

These working relationships can become extremely valuable over time, so keep an open mind and reach out to as many other business owners as you can.
