May Updates

Scheduling Considerations
The next few months are already filling up on our schedule. We encourage our massage members and local clients to book through the summer before Memorial Day, if they haven't already done so. We do keep an active waitlist if specific appointments aren't available but that's never a guarantee. 

Connie is going on vacation from May 1-8th. Pallas and Ashley will be running the show on their own so please bear with us as we juggle clients, cleaning, and front desk responsibilities. Shea, Pallas's oldest daughter, may make a cameo appearance to help out. 

Retail Revamp
Instead of trying to cram a large selection of retail products into our limited space, we've decided to provide links to some of our favorite products. All items listed have met all three of the following criteria:

• It is not available from a local supplier. (If you see something we can source locally, please let us know!)
• Someone on our team has personally purchased it and found it beneficial -OR- One of our clients has asked directly for information on the specific product or product type.
• It directly relates to self-care, general wellness, or a healthy lifestyle.

All of our retail products are listed here. We'll be updating this regularly so if there is a product missing or needed, please let us know. We'll do some research and add it to our list of recommendations. 


Expansion Commitment
One of the amazing results from participating in the GROW Program is the realization that we are on track to buy a permanent location by October 2025. We can do this with our team of three. Bringing on additional employees will make it less risky but not finding the right people will not stop us from making this transition. 

We will have a grand opening celebration that coincides with the anniversary of 20 years in business. Specifics (like date, time and location) to be announced in early 2025.


Actively Hiring!
We have three potential candidates for an opening receptionist. Before we bring any new administrative employees on, we need to find the right massage therapist to join our team. The pool of candidates is small right now but the Massage Institute of Cape Cod, where Pallas went to school way back in 2005, has a small class graduating in June. Ashley has reached out to other massage schools. By nurturing a working relationship with the massage schools, we'll hopefully have less issues finding massage therapists moving forward. 

We appreciate you connecting with us on LinkedIn or sharing this link (employment opportunities) with your network to help us fill open positions. 

Does your spouse get massages somewhere other than Oasis Massage? If so, is there massage therapist happy with their work situation? Maybe they don't like the pay, wish they had benefits, miss being part of a team, or just don't want to deal with running a solo establishment. We don't want to poach anyone who is happily employed and thriving. If they aren't happy, maybe we offer something they're missing. That's a potential win-win situation. 


June Price Increase
Our second increase this year will go into effect on June 1st. Clients have time to lock in the current rate by purchasing a 3-pack or 5-pack of massages prior to that date. 

Rates as of June 1st:

• 30 min $65
• 60 min $130
• 90 min $175

One of our goals with the price increases is to scale the cost of services consistently by time. What do we mean by that? A 60 min massage should cost the same as two 30 min massages. A 90 min massage should cost the same as three 30 min massages. This change brings the 30 min and 60 min services in line with each other. We're not quite to the point where the 90 min is in line but we don't want to do a huge price jump at one time. Future price changes will have a greater impact on the cost of a 90 min service, until our services are scaled consistently.
