Dear 3MA Friend
This week we have new staff starting in NSW and next week in QLD - you know that means free massages for you. If you can help us out and become our 'new Angel quality testers' then read below.
We are also announcing a lot of winners from previous competitions and inviting your feedback on 3 Minute Angels.
Check us out, email or call 1300 662 022
You Want Free Massages Next Week?
Free stuff usually comes with a catch. So let's put the catch right up front. 3 Minute Angels needs a 'friendly' office environment to test drive our new Angel recruits. We need you to assess our new Angels' massage and give us honest feedback about their communication skills. Can your office do that?
We are looking for an office of stressed out staff in Sydney and in Brisbane. We'll come to you with our newly trained staff and they will provide an hour of free massages for you and your work mates.
How do I get my free hour(s)? Simply call us on 1300 662 022 and ask for Jenny.
Jenny will explain that we need up to 5 offices in Sydney and 5 offices in Brisbane (each office will have 10 people massaged). If you are a larger office that is ok too, but not everyone will get a massage. We need 5 offices in Sydney willing to get massages this Thursday the 6th and 5 offices in Brisbane willing to get massages on the 13th August.
It really is simple, just give Jenny a call on 1300 662 022
Winners Are Grinners
Last month you could win tickets to the AFL Grand Final by using the new booking engine or win up to 4 tickets to the Melbourne Cup for nominating your favourite Angel. Now we reveal the winners...
Congratulations to Jason King of Lamb's Go Bar who booked 3 Minute Angels for a private function via our booking engine. He has won 2 x AFL Grand Final Ticket (+ 2 x Champaign Lunch) for his efforts.
Congratulations to the Angel Tiffany in QLD, you have won two tickets to our marquee at the 2009 Melbourne Cup. Your excellent service was nominated by Tim Thomson of Queensland Department of Correctional Services who has also won two tickets. His nomination is so good we just had to reprint it in full.
Why I loved my masseuse
"It was the 17th of June and late in the day
We were at the pub and chatting away
I had one of those days that really stink
And was drowning my sorrows inside a drink
When along came an angel out of nowhere
And offered to massage me in my chair
My shoulders relaxed and my breathing did slow
As I felt my body tingle from head to toe
Her magic hands eased the tension away
I forgot all about my really bad day
What a fast way to give me reprieve
It was only 5 minutes I couldn't believe
My friend was like a little kid seeing a new toy
As she knew she was next to experience the joy
Of a magical massage from a 3 minute angel
Who cast with her hands a magical spell "
So Close
We'd like to congratulate the 5 runner-ups from last months competition. We will be in touch and sending out your 2-hr gift certificates soon.

On a personal note, congratulations go to Bruce Ward who came 2nd with his idea 'regenrating grasslands' in the popular vote for the best solution to tackle climate change. A HUGE thanks to any of you who voted for this great aussie idea.
What Could We Do?
3 Minute Angels started with a bit of inspiration ('massage in pubs') and then with a lot of work we grew the business one massage at a time. Seven years later the innovation in this idea is largely gone and more than 95% of our business comes from corporations rather than individuals.
At the moment we are back thinking about 'what next'. Not that we are going to stop doing what we do well. That would be silly, everyone loves what we currently offer. But over time (7 years) the innovation surely goes out of an idea and it becomes a commodity.
Innovation is part of our "business DNA". Everything from recruitment to customer service works better when we are excited and innovating. It is harder work than doing something established, but well worth it.
We want your ideas on what we could offer or what else we could do? As a customer (and unique individual) you have ideas that we don't. We'd love to hear them. So send us your idea on what we should do next.
The best idea will win a $200 Vintage Cellar Voucher. Send your entry to myexperience@3minuteangels.com or send it direct to the CEO ("Wardy") by clicking here
