A few months back we had an idea. We ambitiously embarked on our quest to get some real insight into the massage therapy industry in Australia through our 2014 Industry Survey.

We put the call out and you responded! Thank you so much to all of you massage therapists who took the time to complete the survey and share your thoughts, with a view to being heard and improving the industry that we’re all so passionate about.

So how did we go?

For our inaugural survey, pretty good.

We reached over 12,000 therapists through a two month long Facebook awareness campaign. More than 300 of you read our survey blog post and 65 of you went on to complete the survey. While these aren’t earth shattering stats by any means (we were hoping for a slightly better response rate) we do think we’ve got a really good sample of responses across a wide demographic. We’re confident we’ll be able to extract some very beneficial insights to share with you over the coming months.

Overall the response was positive and we think we’ve established a good base to work from for future surveys.

The Winners!

Well everyone’s a winner, really. Just having your say is a win, for you and for the industry as a whole. But yes, we did offer a few little prizes to add some motivation to the exercise.

Keen to be kept in the loop? Our advice is join the mailing list to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the articles as they are published.

Are we happy?

We’re pleased to say yes. We thought it would be great to end today’s post on a positive note.

The vast majority of respondents are indeed happy in their careers a massage therapists, with over 75% of respondents ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with their careers. That really is super news!

 

But that’s not to say that there aren’t issues. Naturally there are, and we’ll be digging deep and bringing you the details over the coming months.

Stay tuned, and thanks again to all those who participated!
