what to pay an MT??

[BikerChick]

Hello,

I just recently opened my own business doing Onsite Chair Massage. I live in South Florida and would like to know the average rate to pay a Sub Contractor "MT" and rates for Coporate accounts.

Thank You

Don't live in Florida, however, on a recent chair massage gig working as an IC I earned $35/hour providing 10 mins of massage approx 5 people an hour...... Made money, had fun, got a reasonable check for a little bit of work.....

Thank you

Thank you for your response. I have heard that $35.00 an hour is normal. I would like to hear other quotes to finalize my contracts. I really want to make sure that I am paying fair price for the help.

if you search this forum for posts by 'relax and rejuvenate', you may find some useful info. they (a mr & mrs) will be your competitors in the dade/broward market.

hey, competition is a good thing; there's more than enough work for everyone.

good luck

I just started my chair massage business. I cater mainly to tourists visiting the island. I charge 20 minutes U$20,--. / Euro's 18,--. So that comes to U$60,-- per hour (3 clients). Corporate chair massage will be a lower rate if they require my services on a regular basis ( 1 year-contract).
Good luck!

Hello again,
the sub mt could go on a 40% vs 60% basis. If you do all the work by getting the contacts, making the contracts marketing, p.r., perhaps providing uniforms etc. then this is a fair amount. Good luck, again!

Thank you Blue Lotus. I do all the contact, scheduling, shirts, provide the chair and materials needed for the job. I hope that it's fair for the MT's I will be hiring.

Also, I have a trade show event (My first Job) coming up. I AM SO EXCITED and NERVOUS!!! It will be a one day event from 10 am to 6 pm.

Any advice???????????? Anyone?

Hi, yes, trade shows are great places I think. I will have a 4 day trade show end of the month. Also my first. I will bring some sub mt's. Have them on a rotation basis and do the 40%-60% deal. I rented a space-only spot. Saved me alot of money. I will do an interview in the magazine that is handed out during the trade show and that is also being distributed on the island. Interview is free advertising! Also I intend to give all my fellow exhibitors a special special discount of either free chair massage or at $5 per session. This way I will be able to ensure them thinking and talking about me! And this will ensure me getting corporate contracts!
Hope this wil be of use to your business too! Good luck.
