Small Notes, November 2010

Greetings,
Have you been out enjoying this stunning fall we're having? Aren't the leaves spectacular? Keep me in mind while doing your fall gardening and raking. Those sore muscles could always use some help. If your allergies are giving you discomfort, why not try Lymph Drainage Therapy to see if we can decrease the swelling and pain you might be having. If you're feeling stressed, a massage might be the ideal antidote to make easing into the new season less hectic.

How do you like the new email newsletter format? The plan is to provide you with interesting health tips and information as well as keeping you informed about my massage business. Today's issue is focused more on the business end of things in order to catch up from a long dry-spell in newsletter delivery.

Warmly,
Karen

Testimonials

Have you ever gone home from a massage at my office and raved to your friends? Would you be willing to do that a little more publicly?

I would truly appreciate if you could find time in your busy day to write down a few sentences about what you like about my business. You could mention any problems you had that I helped to resolve, any surprises you might have had when I helped with something you didn't think massage could affect, therapies you really enjoy... You've got the idea! I can keep your name anonymous, or list you by name or initials, along with your town.

You can read what others have already written on my testimonial page. Those are mostly from a few years ago so I'd love to add new ones, especially about my newer therapies.

To show my appreciation for your efforts, I'll add an extra 15 minutes free to your next massage when you provide me with a testimonial.

Credit Card Payment Changes

Two different credit card processors are now available depending on the circumstances or your preferences. I can swipe your card using Square. If you prefer to use PayPal (you won't need a PayPal account) or are ordering a gift certificate over the phone, I can send you an email invoice directing you to the PayPal website for payment.

All major cards are accepted. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take the Stress Out of the Holidays!

We're rapidly approaching the gift-giving season and I'd love to make it simpler for you by offering:
