Thanks for the Advice

[Guest guest]

Everyone,

 

Thanks for the advice on what oils and subjects should be covered when teaching

a community class! You all are so great.

 

I plan on using tea tree, lavender, peppermint, mandarin or tangerine and

eucalyptus radiata to start with. I will certainly bring more oils along for

sampling purposes and they can even purchase them if they're interested.

 

Now, another question? Does anybody actively practice aromatherapy in their

town? How do you do it? Do you rent space in a massage therapist's office,

do you lecture to people, do you advertise? I have been practicing by word-of-

mouth only for years, and now while working on my Ph.D. in naturopathy, I would

like to practice it and make some money at it.

 

Y'all take care!

Hi Stacey,

 

Good choices for the oils.

My friend and are opening up our joint space this month. Both of us use

the oils as an adjunct to our work. Over the years I have tried

advertising and sometimes it paid off and sometimes all I got was a tax

write off! (HAHA) I have gotten better response by putting up business

cards/flyers on the bulletin boards of local coffee shops and stores.

 

Since I run a retail bead business I sell the oils as a side at shows.

I always have a table of information - TIP: Only put out 4 flyers,

handouts, etc. with a stack of your business cards. People will pick up

anything when there is a large stack, but will hesitate to pick up

something if there are only a few available, hence they will actually

look at and read maybe. I watched a lady pick up one each of my flyers

- different colored - hand them to her kids with crayons, telling them

to sit and color on the backs. She proceeded to shop other boths around

me. My copy fees have decreased by 30% when I limited the amount on the

table. Restock as needed.

I also put out a contact log - for those who wish to make appointments

fot sessions later, as well as a mailing list.

 

Wish you well on your adventure!!

Hi Linda!

Thanks for these ideas! I'd often wondered if this would work and now

I feel even better about what I can do and still keep costs low. I've

often seen folks do the same with my stuff and feel a bit frustrated.

Now I get to plan for the new year!

Happy Holidays to one and all,

Lynn
