When Missy Hitz opened her first massage space, she was laser-focused on quality care. But with rising demand, limited hours, and no in-house marketing help, she needed a clear, scalable strategy to grow without losing the heart of her business.

The Challenge:

Missy had:

  • Big dreams—but needed to grow in a sustainable, thoughtful way
  • One room, one therapist (herself), and a full calendar
  • No time to test marketing ideas, build campaigns, or track results
  • Seasonal swings in client volume and no system for filling gaps

Our Approach:

Together, we built a marketing system that matched her bandwidth and vision:

  • Marketing Calendar: We mapped out promotional windows aligned with seasonal demand and client behavior. This gave structure to blog content, emails, and social posts—so marketing stopped feeling like guesswork.
  • Paid Ad Campaigns: Instead of constant spend, we used intentional bursts of targeted ads during key revenue dips.
  • Rebrand and Messaging: As the business expanded into new locations and service offerings, we refreshed the brand visuals and messaging to reflect a travel-worthy spa experience, not just a massage room.
  • Strategic Decision Support: Whether she was hiring, adding services, or planning a move, I helped evaluate how (and when) to communicate with clients, staff, and the public.

The Results:

Missy now leads a multi-room massage and spa with a strong brand presence and a clear promotional rhythm. Her messaging is clear, her investments are strategic, and she has confidence in her growth—because she’s not guessing anymore.

“Having Jenny by my side has been a game-changer. I finally feel like marketing is working with me, not against me.”
