Ironlike what happens when your clinic offers free sessions or offers. The clinic offers a free hour massage for every 5 paid for and gives out 20 % discount vouchers for birthdays and even 50 .% off first consultation vouchers are randomly glaring around and patients get a free massage for referring 2 people to us. It's marketing madness coz I'm chic a block and dont need more patients ! It seems they are very generous with patients but if i asked for 50:50 I'd be better if financially but would resent the offers!
We have to take a hit with bulk discounts and promotions, but it isn't too bad. People get 10% off a block of 5 massages, and sometimes we do events where people will get 25% off an initial physio consultation or the such, but it isn't that often that I have had to take a hit with this. In all honesty, I'm still earning pretty well even with this discount. We never give away free sessions unless there is a complaint, which is pretty rare.
