Refer a friend and save $20 Each time you refer a friend to ABMP or one of our sister organizations (Associated Skin Care Professionals, Associated Hair Professionals, and Associated Nail Professionals), and they join as a new member at any of the Practitioner/ Professional/Certifi ed levels, you receive a $20 credit toward your next year's membership. Just make sure they mention your name when they sign up. 2. Earn a discount for you and your coworkers Do you work at a practice that has a combination of fi ve or more massage therapists, bodyworkers, skin care practitioners, hair stylists, or nail professionals? When fi ve or more employees from one establishment join our organizations, everyone in the group benefi ts with a discount on membership. It's easy to get started. Contact us at 800-862-7724, ext. 613, to see if you qualify. ABMP BizFit Tip What's In Your Wallet? No, we're not encouraging you to go get a new credit card, but we are encouraging you to see how many business cards you have on hand. The last thing you want to face is a room fi lled with potential clients and only one tired-looking, dog-eared card. Keep your supply fresh and neat and have enough with you at all times to be able to handle any client request: "Let me take a handful of your cards for my friends" is an opportunity you don't want to miss. Serious Savings Every Deserves a Massage Week Body July 10–16, 2016 Start planning today for this year's EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week. Host a fundraiser for a local charity. Plan a food drive where clients get discounted services with a donation of canned goods. Give the gift of massage to fi rst-responders, teachers, or others who could use a comforting touch.
