Starting a Mobile Spa Business

If you are a masseuse who wants to go into business for yourself, expect to pay hundreds, maybe even thousands to rent a parlor or a spa. Hiring other masseuses will cost you even more money. Not to mention you will also have to pay for supplies and equipment.

So, what's a masseuse with little money supposed to do? The solution can be summed up in two words: mobile spa. With a mobile spa, you can start your own business with very little start-up cost. Plus, unlike traditional parlors or spas, you can work around your own schedule. In addition, you get an opportunity to form a more personal, one-on-one relationship with your clients.

With that being said, what do you need to start a mobile spa? Well, aside from the legal stuff, (such as certifications or business licenses), you will need a portable massage chair, massage oils and really anything else you would use during your sessions. This could even include hot stones if your clients like hot stone therapy. Just make sure you bring along a hot stone heater, since these are specially designed to warm up the stones without hurting you or your client.

As far as marketing, the very concept of mobile spas pretty much sells itself. Just put an ad in the Yellow Pages, and you will have more clients than you can handle. This is especially the case if you create a website advertising your services, (since websites help make companies look more distinguished).

In conclusion, don't let lack of money keep you from being an entrepreneur. Remember, you are already ahead of the game by possessing an invaluable skill: the art of massage. All you have to do is apply these skills through a mobile spa business, where everything is not only cheap but also on-the-go.
