30, 45, or 60 minute massages?

[applegrance]

mpasquared: when things get booked absolutely back to back with no time in between, it never seems to work out from the customer point of view. Either you are late for future appointments, or you make the actual massage / service time shrink down to about 20 minutes to allow for dressing, undressing, showers, etc.

I am sure you have seen this in your experience: A 30 minute session for the client last probably 45 minutes (door to door) to cover all those things. If the MP has multiple rooms to "stack" the clients, it can work. If a girl is using her own single room to work in, then you have to add time to get one guy out, clean up, and get the other guy in. Put it another way, I doubt you get 4 30 minutes sessions into 2 hours, unless you are seriously shaving the time you are in the room.

Anyway, my point is from the client point of view: We want out time, we don't want to wait 30 minutes because you are overtime from booking too many too close, etc. For those of us on the SSOG plan (MSOG sort of goes after 40), an hour is often more than we need to get things done right. Going from 60 minutes to 40 minutes (SRM rates, which I am sure you are familiar with) pretty much gives me a 3 visits for the price of 2 thing. So I guess I do MSOG, just over different days.

While I am sure a slight bit more money is made short term by stacking appointments hard against each other with no downtime, it seems almost like a punshment to the clients who pay the freight, no?

Personally I'm not very keen on 30 minute sessions. They're WAY too rushed, especially with regular MPA's. I like having some extra time to chat and reverse.

Therefore I find 45 minute sessions a nice balance between a "decent time" and "fiscal responsibility."

Bob, I totally agree with that. But to always leave 20mins as a gap...it shouldnt take that long to get ready. Again, personally, Im not a fan of the 45min time-frame. But thats just from my side of the table

I agree.
And I find 1 hour too long.

I recently attempted to make an appointment with a MPA for an hour and due to the fact that she had another appointment during the time frame I wanted, I didnt take it. Saying that, I believe a 30 min. session to not longggggg enough for an enjoyable time, for both parties, and an hr may be a little too longggggg but I definitely prefer the 60 min session to the others. Cost is no object when you're with your favourite MPA and enjoying yourself.
