The massage therapy and spa industries have experienced tremendous growth over the past 20 years. More and more Americans are realizing the benefits of receiving massage and spa therapies on a regular basis which has increased consumer demand for professional massage services.
The business perspective shows that as consumer demand increases for a product or service, new avenues for supply are developed to answer the demand. As a result of this growth, franchised massage therapy and spa businesses have expanded, populating local communities across the country.
Most franchises are owned by local small business operators, known as franchisees. They purchase the rights to use the trademark, trade name, or advertising symbol, and agree to adhere to the Franchisor’s operational structure, systems, and policies and procedures. In turn, the Franchisor supports their business through operational programs and oversight, marketing, technology, training, and product and services.
Massage therapists choosing to work for a franchised massage or spa business will experience steady work and repeat clientele, as opposed to working in a seasonal environment that has peak and slow times. Most local franchise spa/massage businesses offer flexible schedules, all massage supplies needed, and the ability to build a clientele quickly. Marketing, appointments, and daily operations are managed by the franchise owner and their management team, so massage therapists can focus on the work they love.
Massage and spa franchises like Massage Heights offer wonderful work environments for any massage therapist. These careers are also positive choices for the newly licensed, tenured therapists returning to the field after an absence, those who want to supplement their private practice income, those who are not interested in operating a business, and therapists looking for part-time schedules.
Massage therapy and spa franchises are contributing to the industry by growing the market, increasing awareness of the benefits of massage therapy, creating an affordable way for mainstream clients to receive massage more regularly, increasing job opportunities for massage therapists, and serving the needs of local communities in numerous ways. Careers at locally owned and operated franchised massage and spas, are available across the country and have supportive environments for therapists to safely practice their craft and make a difference in human beings’ lives through therapeutic touch.
