KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • 4 programs. Growing your school might sound difficult but it is not. You just have to break down things and work on them. You break it into 4 programs. Example, 4 to 6 years old and ladies program. These two are the easiest to target in the market. You have to target 25 members per program. So that’s 4 x 25 = 100 members in the school. It sounds really simple if you just break it down. 4 programs is also easy to launch.
  • 2 new members per week (40 per month). You have to bring in just 2 members per week. You have 4 programs. So that is 40 members per month. You have to focus on this. There are different demographics in your area that you can target. You can use Facebook ads, leaflets, etc. 2 members per week is not a lot.
  • Market correctly in Facebook or Social Media. You have to invest in marketing. What you put out there will go back to you. You have to market correctly in social media. You have to know that 10000 to 30000 reach is a good thing. You have to have a budget of at least £20/day running straight 5 days to get your target market.
  • Oversubscribed. You do not have to worry about this. Put them in your waitlist. That way you can choose who you like to be in your school. Do not stop, just keep going, you have to be oversubscribed. It is a good thing for your business.

BEST MOMENTS

“Many school owners, they think it’s difficult because they’ve never done it. When the reality is when you break something down in that simplistic form that we do in martial arts… you go out with any goal and make sure that you achieve it and focus on the marketing the attraction. You’ve got your external marketing, your internal marketing, your referral marketing, your offline marketing, your online marketing, your social media marketing, if you did all of that for each program, you can’t fail.

“The only one holding you back is you.”

“That’s how it works. What you put in, you will get out. Marketing is an asset in your business. It brings you more. It brings back so much.”

“The most difficult thing is to teach people that you invest in your marketing to get it back out. You’ve got to invest it in the right strategies and the right formulas to get the right results.”
