Evanston, IL — American Massage Therapy
Association members and massage therapy will be promoted in a one-minute
consumer education segment on twenty stations on the Dish Network throughout
the month of November. AMTA produced the segment which focuses on the
benefits of massage, what to expect from a massage and what a consumer should
know about massage. The spot also directs consumers to the AMTA Find a
Massage Therapist national locator service to locate an AMTA
massage therapist in their area.
The segment allows AMTA to reach a large nation-wide audience made up of potential first time users
as well as those who have had a massage. It encourages consumers to make
massage a regular part of a healthy lifestyle. The spot is part of AMTA’s
national initiative to motivate consumers to use massage and to look for an
AMTA member when choosing a massage therapist.
This TV promotion of massage follows National Massage Therapy Awareness Week, October
23 – 29, through which AMTA reaches out annually to promote the benefits of
massage.
The stations where the
spot will air on the Dish Network are divided into specific audience
groups. The first group is the News Cluster and includes CNN, MSNBC,
Bloomberg, CNBC, Court TV, FOX News, Headline News, The Weather Channel,
ESPN News. The second group is the Women’s Cluster and includes
Lifetime, Food Channel, WE, HGTV, Style, Discovery Home, Lifetime Movie
Channel, Do It Yourself, SOAP, and Discovery Health. The spot will air
once each day between 7pm and 12am Central Standard Time on each of the
Women’s Cluster networks the week of November 6 – 12. It will also air the
next week, November 13 – 19, on the News Cluster networks between 7pm and
