The Tranquility Times

December is a time of Celebration!

Hanukkah Begins at Sunset Dec 1 and continues through Dec. 9

Eid Al-Fitr, aka Islamic New Year, and the end of Ramadan is Dec 10

Winter Solstice is Dec 21

Pancha Ganapati is Dec 21 through Dec 26

Festivus and HumanLight are Dec 23

Christmas is Dec 25

Kwanzaa is Dec 26 through Jan 1

And of course there is New Years Eve on Dec 31.

One of the great things about living in Richardson is that it is so multicultural. Meeting and caring for my diverse client base has greatly enriched my life, and I am grateful to be of service. Whatever your faith, whatever you celebrate, I wish you and yours a joyous holiday season.

Santa is in training…

Santa make his delivery run only once per year, and it’s always a stressful time: making the list, checking it twice, securing the inventory, lifting heavy boxes, traveling… So how does Santa recover from all this? Mrs. Claus has the perfect solution for Mr. Claus’s aches and pains: a Tranquility Time massage gift certificate! It’s the perfect gift for any holiday elf, and if you buy one at your next appointment or by phone you can use a coupon for $10 off.

Winter Food Drive: Triple Matching Funds!

Tranquility Time's Hand to Mouth Food Drive Dec 1 - 31, 2010 Matching funds for up to $250,000 from the estate of Harry Fagen.

They are the children who sit next to your kids in class every day and go hungry every evening. They are the hard-working families in your neighborhood who struggle with the decision to pay bills or buy food. They are the seniors who live around the corner from you and quietly wonder where their next meal is coming from. In North Texas there is a 29 million meal gap between what people need – 3 meals per day – and what they can currently access. The people affected are children, families, and seniors. They go to our schools, live in our neighborhoods, and work in our community.

Our objective is simple – to provide access to meals for those in need. By 2011, the Food Bank will unite the community to narrow the food gap by providing access to 50 million meals annually. Individually you can make a difference in someone’s life, and together we can successfully close the gap on hunger. To donate, just click on the button below. Personal Note: My wife, Ann, did volunteer work for an organization closely associated with NTFB for many years, so we know firsthand that this is an efficient, vital, effective organization. Therefore, I have no reservations at all about making this offer: Triple matching funds: If you donate $20 before Dec 31, I will donate another $20. The Harry Fagen estate will match both our donations. Therefore, if you donate $20, you are really donating the equivalent of $80! Please bring your NTFB receipt to your appointment so that I can match your funds. Right now, people in our community are losing their jobs, their savings, and their homes. If we don't help our neighbors, who will? Give today. -- Jim

My Client Loyalty Program: 6 Ways to Save

And these days, who doesn’t want to save money? Read all about it by clicking here.

The automatic discount for “Exit Appointments” is scheduled to end on December 31, 2010. That means that you will no longer get $10 off just for scheduling your next appointment before you leave the office.

However, you can continue to automatically receive a $10 discount by setting up a weekly or biweekly “standing appointment.” That means I will reserve the same weekday and time for you for every appointment. For example, you would come in every other Tuesday at 10am or every Friday afternoon at 3:30. This means that you have dibs on your favorite appointment time, and I’ll schedule everyone else around you. It’s much easier to remember too!

We will also keep the punch cards: seven punches and you get a free massage. It will be up to you to keep track of your card and ask me to punch it. In the long run, this works out the same as getting a $10 discount on each of seven 60 minute massages.

Prepaid discount cards are also available, and they offer a 10% discount for 5 prepaid massages or 15% for 10 prepaid massages. These make terrific gifts!

But the discount I most love to give is the referral discount. The greatest compliment I can receive is a referral to your friends and loved ones, so I am happy to offer you $10 off when one of your friends drops your name.

Free Stuff!

Here’s a reminder about all the free stuff that’s available with your massage.  Just ask for it!

December Coupons

The new money-saving coupons are at Coupons.TranquilityTime.com. 

¨ Ten Extra Minutes of massage! Why hurry? Obviously you’ll need to schedule this in advance and be on time.

¨ Free Paraffin Bath for your hands. Feels great on arthritis, especially during these cold months. Please let me know in advance so that I can have the wax hot and ready for you.

¨ Save on Holiday Gift Certificates: Do your holiday shopping early! Buy massage gift certificates for the people you care about and get $10 off on any massage gift certificate for 60 minutes or more. Everyone loves the gift of touch! (This offer is not valid for Internet orders because that’s all automated.)

¨ $10 off for new clients. (But none of you are new clients, so you get $10 off if a new client drops your name. Tell ‘em to say “Ronnie sent me!” and I’ll make a note in your file. That’s all part of the client loyalty program.)

Note: most coupons have restrictions. See the conditions printed in red at the bottom for specific information.

Thanks!

Thanks for being a loyal client and continuing to subscribe to the newsletter.

Best wishes,

Jim
