  • Back to School Means Opportunity!

    September 06, 2011 1 min read


    It must be September already! Labor day is over and kids & teachers are on their way back to school. What does this mean for Martial Arts Dojos?

    TIME TO GET MORE STUDENTS!

    That's right. There is no better time to run a promotion than back to school.

    Parents will be looking for after school activities to keep their kids busy, and dedicated during the school season. Some popular back to school promotions we have seen work:

    1. A 6 week SPECIAL trial price
    2. A free trial class or week
    3. Free private lesson and uniform
    4. Or any combination of the above.... 

    Any promotion you feel comfortable with that allows children to experience the benefits of Martial Arts is the key. Once the students, and parents, experience the benefits of your promotional offer, they will be more inclined to sign up for the year!

    This is why our 'promotion of the month' for September is the 'Back to School One-Sheet', with a customizable ad offer, large call to action, and stand out design to attract more students.

    Just $99 for 500!

    Don't waste this incredible opportunity to cost effectively grow your student base while helping children experience the benefits of learning martial arts. It's a win-win for everyone!
