The subject of having a massage forum was gone over a while back and for reasons stated to the owners, we had to shelve the idea. By massage I mean licensed provider either currently or recently so that the client is assured of getting a professional quality massage and not just a play rubdown. Not dissing the rubdown but there is a difference and most massage clients want the real thing. For those who don't want that, they can avoid the professional and go for the candy
My question is this. Since we don't have a separate forum, is there a code of some kind that we can place in our ads that can be searched for, to differentiate the service from a fun but nonprofessional rubdown?
I've already thought about all the search terms like licensed, trained, school and etc. What I'm thinking of is a search term that only the professionals would use. Something like Professional Quality and the number of years you've worked as a therapist and the state you're licensed in. Maybe PQ-11-T. Or SHFR-04 (super happy fun rubdown 4 years) I'm just brainstorming here, it could be anything but you get the idea. I know there aren't many of us but not everyone knows who we are and this way clients could find what they're looking for, no matter what state/city they're in.
If a provider puts it in her ad, she has to have some reliable way to support her claim otherwise every provider will do it and we'll be right back where we started. Ideas?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it's not a waste of time, I know you MODS are crazy busy babysitting lately.
