Hot Chocolate and Gift Certificate winner...

NICOLE SOHM

Nicole, you have hot chocolate coming your way, accompanied by a cute $15 gift certificate towards a massage! Enjoy!

Black Friday with Pure Massage

Who wants to celebrate Black Friday with me? Everyone will when they hear how we celebrate it! Take the best stocking stuffer (a.k.a. an hour massage gift certificate), and then take $5 off for every one purchased! For example:

Loving, smart, giving husband wants to buy his hard working, well deserving, tired back/shoulders/feet wife a massage for $45...now it's $40! Oh, he was actually going to get her 3 for $135...that's only $120.

It's a great deal, good Black Friday/Saturday/Sunday only.

Call 801-319-3236, e-mail puremassageutah@yahoo.com, or comment below to schedule.

Giveaway Time

I want to change it up a bit. This week's giveaway has to do with the freezing temperatures outside, and one of my favorite things in life (aside from massages, of course). Tell me what your favorite HOT CHOCOLATE is, and when your favorite time to drink it is.

Here's mine:
Stephen's Mint Milk Chocolate with the mini marshmallows in it, and I love to drink it after my kids go to bed so I don't have to share it. Selfish. I know. But it is the truth!

The giveaway this week? A container of whatever hot chocolate you wrote about (as long as I can find it!), and a $15 gift certificate towards a massage from me. I'll get it in the mail, or drop it off ASAP after the contest is finished. I'll draw a winner on Friday. Good luck!

Hour Massage Winners!

Yes, you saw it correctly, winners. I could not just pick one. And, in all fairness I believe I missed two weeks of a giveaway, so now I've made it right!

Also, real quick before I tell you the winners, I want to say how much I appreciated all of your comments. Really, made me cry, even when I read them a second time. I know most of you, and to know that you have lived through trials, and maybe just life in general, and are having the attitude that you have is such an example to me and those around you. Thank you for sharing.

Okay....DRUMROLL PLEASE....

Nicole Murbach

Kristine Turner

Congrats ladies. You deserve this massage. Hope to hear from you soon to set it up!

I'm Thankful For...

It is sad how sometimes weeks go by seeming like a few days. All I can say is, " 'Tis the Season!".

With that said, I need to give away another massage! AND, to apologize for missing a few giveaways, I am going to give away an hour massage this time. Also, this will not be a random number drawing. I want people to take some time, and answer thoughtfully. Make me laugh, make me cry, do whatever you have to do to win this weeks giveaway! Here is the question:

"What are you thankful for and why?"

Leave your post/comment. I will read them, and pick a winner Saturday morning. Usually I pick on Friday, but since it is Tuesday, I figured I'd go a little longer. Share this post with anyone in your life that has something to be grateful for, and may just need a massage too! Remember, I come to you! It's a pretty good deal... ;-) .

Thanks for sharing, and good luck!

And the winner is...

Carrie Sillito!
E-mail me, call me, whatever gets you ahold of me the fastest, DO IT! :-) Let's get you your massage!

To everyone else, I really appreciated the input on the party question. Here is what I gathered:

1. Pure Massage Pamper Parties are definitely something that people will attend. The discount is great, lots of choices to fit everyone's needs, and who doesn't need a massage? Really.
2. There are party throwing people, and there are not! Plain and simple. So, hopefully I can find the people out there willing to host, or (a small favor!) just go ahead and let that person that you know that does parties that there is something new out there that would give them their party fix, AND a free massage! That will also guarantee you to have a place to go get your massage for less (BONUS)!
   

Again, thank you everyone for commenting! It is so helpful to me as I begin to build my massage business! (Remember, every week I give away a massage, so keep trying!)

Pamper Party Success!

Last Saturday I had my first Pure Massage Pamper Party, and it was a HUGE success! I'll admit, it was an "experiment". I wasn't sure how many people would want to show up to a friend or family members home and get a massage. All doubts and questions were answered when I started massaging a little after 7, and didn't stop until just after 10! I am so grateful to the host, Kate, for being simply amazing! Also, for everyone who came. So, what made it successful? Here are my thoughts:

• Great prices. Hands down. People shy away from parties when they think that they will have to spend at least $50, but not here. $5-$20. There really is something for everyone!
• Time. Committing an hour massage would be nice, but sometimes isn't going to happen. Massages are no longer than 30 minutes. And, the opportunity to purchase longer massages at the party discount is still available!
• Location. You are in a comfortable place, with people you know and like to be around. Lots of times, you are with family, or friends who you love to see and spend time with before and after your massage.

I am hoping to do a lot more of these in the future! Which leads me to this weeks free massage drawing:

Would you attend a Pure Massage Pamper Party? Would you host one? Leave feedback on which you would choose, and why, and be entered into this week's drawing for a free half hour massage! (Hypothetical...you are not signing up for anything!)

Winner!

The winner of the free 30 minute massage is Stacey Ratliff! Congratulations Stacey!

Thanks to everyone who "Like(s)" Pure Massage on facebook, and look again for next week's giveaway on Monday!

Pure Massage Pamper Party!

The first party is on the calendar! It is at Kate Dixon's home, in Eagle Mountain, this Saturday night from 7-10 (thank you Kate!). If you are interested in coming to see what a party is like before you throw one, e-mail me and I will get the address to you.

Also, this party isn't "purely" massage! Aesthetics will be provided by Jamie - All services 20% off! Glitter Toes, Waxing , Eyebrow/Eyelash Tinting/ Peels and Microdermabrasion - See her link at www.savvyesthetics.com (she is amazing!).

First Giveaway!

My goal is to schedule one new massage a week, and if I have to give that massage away, so be it. I know that word of mouth is the best advertising, so I had better get people talking.

The first giveaway is a 30 minute massage in your home. All you have to do is get on Facebook, and "Like" Pure Massage. Of course share this knowledge! Tell all of your friends, family, and well...everyone on your Facebook in this area. When I see a name added on the page, it will be added to the drawing for the massage. One lucky person will be chosen and posted (via Facebook and the blog) next Friday, the 22nd in the morning. We will schedule your massage for a date sometime in the 2 weeks following the drawing!

Lucky thoughts being sent your way!

Blogs!

I love blogs! As a massage therapist I think that people want to get to know you so they can trust you. Blogs are the way to do it. They are quick and accessible. Hopefully, mine will help me get "the word" out on new pricing and specials I may be having. But mostly, I want people to be able to come to my blog get to know me, and feel comfortable in choosing me as their therapist.

Please leave comments, ask questions, or suggest specials in the comment area.
