Hello lovely people!
Over the past few months I have seen an increase in last minute cancellations and no shows. As a Sole Proprietor, this can have a tremendous financial impact. As with any business, there is a budget that needs to be met, in order to keep the business viable. I am no exception. Typically I have people waiting in the wings to take an appointment, but when I have no notice, it is more difficult to backfill the time slot.
While I totally understand unexpected things happen, and can appreciate that, the impact is the same. Therefore, I determined I had to come up with a solution to combat the situation.
I can either:
A-start charging a cancellation/no show fee, as the majority of spas and therapists do
B- Charge more
C-Win the lottery ๐and be financially independent so it doesnโt matter
D- Have an anonymous sugar daddy that puts tons of money in my account๐or
E- another route.
Iโm choosing E.
In the coming weeks I will be starting a part time job, that will allow me the flexibility to continue my massage business! I am very excited to work with a company that also values what I have built over the years, and is willing to work with my crazy schedule, and allow me to zig and zag where I need to.
My intent is to continue to provide the best massage possible, and this is a way to take some of the stress off, and allow me to provide the best quality service you have come to expect.
Please be patient with me as I navigate the next few weeks and settle into a routine that works best for all of us!
I appreciate all my amazing clients who have supported me over the last 23 years, and look forward to continuing to work with you for many years to come!
With gratitude and love โค๏ธ
