Local Trade Shows, Fairs or Festivals – This is always a great way for people to “see you in action”. You can either apply to be a speaker if that is appropriate or rent some booth space. As a Professional Reflexologist you can offer mini-sessions. This offers you the chance to educate people so they can have a better understanding about how you as a Reflexologist can help them and at the same time a chance for you to start becoming more known as the Professional Reflexologist in your area.
Fundraisers and silent auction events - Silent auctions can be a great place to support your community as well as gain exposure for yourself and your Reflexology services. You can offer a gift certificate or a free session or even a special package that you put together for that event. Again, be creative, give LOTS of value and create something that will stand out from all the other entries.
Over the past four days I presented a few of the ideas you can use to get yourself out in your community in a big way. The beautiful thing about all of these approaches is that they create a wonderful flow of energy as you step out and share yourself with the people of your local community.
Remember, they share your environment, your community and often your experience. And when you step out, they get the opportunity to see you in action, get a sense of what you are all about and have an authentic, in person experience of you and with you. Is there any better way for us all to connect?
Your Reflexology Assignment
Check out my posts over the past 4 days. Choose at least one of the above local promotional ideas that you are not currently doing, and take action on it this week – just see how it works. Choose something that sounds fun and would also give you a good return on your time and effort. Think about how you can combine getting out and reaching people with offering help and support to those you live, shop, eat, play and work with. Don’t spend too much time planning – just get out there and connect with your community!
