Interesting information- the gift of massage
With the holiday season upon us, I thought I’d share some tidbits from a recent study by the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association). The study covered a variety of topics, but the question we’re addressing is who gives and receives the gift of massage?
Men are on the gift certificate wagon in a big way when it comes to giving the gift of massage to a spouse or significant other. When men give a massage gift certificate, 58% gave the gift certificate to a spouse and 32% gave the gift to a significant other.
Women are a little more likely to give massage as a gift. Approximately 1 out of 3 women in the survey gave massage as a gift. This is compared to 1 out 4 men giving massage gift certificates.
However, women are much less likely to give their spouses the gift certificates they purchase! Women gift certificates went to the spouse 28% of the time and to their significant other 14% of the time. A whopping 41% of gift certificates went to friends.
I found this information to be interesting and it certainly seems accurate based on our gift certificate sales at Body Balance Spa. However, the most important thing to remember is day spa gift certificates make the perfect gift for just about anybody.
