By Marci Nielsen


Mobile services are increasingly becoming popular. Clients are now receiving services from the comfort of their homes, areas of recreation and hotels. For the case of mobile massage therapy Kelowna BC, it provides its clients services by reaching out to them anywhere. This service may be required by the groom and bride before the wedding day or offices that need massage. There are cases where these therapists get clients in the casino, holiday boat or bars.

What has always been the norm is renting an office space for this service to be offered. Having a mobile office is rather unique when it comes to providing massages. It is also risky, since you have no knowledge of the safety of the place you may be going. It is wise to know if you really want to be a mobile service provider or if you prefer to get a place that you can rent.

Due to the mobility of the business, it is important for safety precautions to be taken. It is not easy to know exactly who you are dealing with, and if at all they may be harmful to you. It is therefore advisable to get a personal assistant who will be able to schedule your therapies and know where you are at any time. For the case of hotels, you can always notify the security of your presence.

A lot of time will be allocated on traveling, because of its nature of being mobile. There is also the element of traffic, which takes a lot of time. This brings the need to allocate sometime between the sessions to prevent any delays. Since a lot of time is wasted, the charges are hiked to be able to compensate on the lost time.

There is need to come up with a business plan. For a massage therapist is no different from that of any other business. Therefore a market research should be done and see if the services are required within the locality. It is vital to know the areas that have a high demand for it like a community consisting of wealthy and retired people.

It is vital to have the knowledge of the required equipment for the service done well. You should also determine if the vehicle used for traveling will be able to accommodate all the required equipment, things such as; sheets, pillows, music player, towels, lotions, a clock and oils. It will be important to always confirm that you have all the required tools of service before going for the next session.

A good market plan is essential for the business to be viable. You require asking relevant questions on how clients can access you. Therefore, you can get a website that can be easily accessed. If the area you intend to operate in consists of tourists, the demand for therapy is high.

For you to be able to keep you clients and get more, you need to have an established network of good referrals.
