pricing

This post is in response to some of NikkiVIP's post under the tread on Laren Jade. Since this issue doesn't really relate to Laren Jade, I thought it would be fair to Laren if a new thread was started. Basically, NikkiVIP has raised issues regarding the apparent "level of service" one may...

A quick question for the experienced Massage seekers. MPs have different fees for 1/2 hr and 1 hr apts. Is this the same for masseuse extra fees? ie: if the usual rates are $40/$60/$80 for the varying levels of service for 1 hr. Is it safe to assume that for a 1/2 apt, the extras are...

Hi, passed my aromatherapy in july and am now doing it, but i am a bit stuck on pricing, can help me by advising me on how much to charge someone when you make them a blend to use at home? or other products you make for home use? any advise would be great thanks.

I wonder if anyone can advise me on pricing of products. When making blends for clients to take home, eg bath oils, face creams, what mark up do you put on? For example if it costs me £3 to make not including my time what do i charge the client?

Hello All - I am facing a bit of a clientele dilemma here. Where I work at, there's only one massage room and that wasn't usually a problem before now. Another therapist has come on board and he is a more established MT who is paying rent vs. being commission like I am (It's a good split -...

I know that FS at places like Swan Lake are $.2 to $.4 not including the room fee. How much is a nude HJ or BJ ? And would they still give you that great rim job also not going FS? :confused:

Hi everyone, I'd love to hear opinions on the following: I want to attract clients who are interested in finding out the benefits of frequent massage for themselves. So, I came up with this: What do you think of this pricing structure? First, I would change my hourly rate for massage...

should i put my prices on my brochures? or is it better to have a statement something like "affordable pricing" and then have rate cards that i would insert into the brochures... i am thinking that the rate cards would be less expensive to reprint for price changes than the brochures. i am...

As there is a double pricing policy in Thailand for a lot of things with one price for Thais and another for foreigners, does anyone know what Thais pay when they visit MP's?

i am just starting to see clients in my home. i am charging $50 for a one hour massage. What would be an appropriate price for a 1 1/2 or 2 hour massage?

I'm adding pain management massage to my menu. It uses a variety of techniques; TP, MET, and general deep tissue massage. I warn that this isn't a relaxing massage with a little TP thrown in. Of course, I'll try and make nice with the muscles afterwards but.... nice isn't the point, getting to...

:lol: Hello All, Has anyone ever submitted a quote to be the chair massage therapist at a trade show? I've been asked to submit my rate and if I have a minimum. I'm considering submitting a bid of $60 - $70 with a two hour minimum. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I think that most of us at some time worry about our prices. Are we charging enough? Will we lose clients if we raise our rates? Can clients afford our rates? etc etc Below is a true story about pricing. When a colleague was learning hot stone massage as part of her homework she had to...

Greetings, An issue concerning outcall pricing keeps coming to the surface and I must now try and develop a consistant marketing strategy and hope to gather some useful insights from other professionals to implement reasonable rates for the client yet fair rates for the therapist. Aside...

I’m having trouble deciding on what to charge. Background ~ I’ve been practicing for a little over 3 years. Prenatal work has always been my passion but I’m just getting around to being certified. I’m also certifying as a doula & an infant massage instructor. Right now in my private practice...

Hi there. Now that I'm actually certified in pregnancy massage, we're in discussions about how to proceed with pricing. My instructor said that typically, she charged a little more for prenatal massage than for "regular" massage, but added that "in this economy", we may not want to do that right...

Hey guys, I am thinking of taking two girls from bars or maybe even free lancers and keeping with me for 5 days or so instead of just finding new girls again and again. Any ideas what the going rate? If i have two girls with me what should the going rate be each day? Am I going to...
