Print Marketing, Video Marketing and Online Marketing Is The Trifecta Of Martial Arts Marketing Success.
Print marketing is making a huge comeback. Used with video and online marketing it's the trifecta. A KO combo.
In a study from 2011, a survey of students at National Taiwan University will show most participants browsed a few paragraphs online before printing it out. When someone can choose if they want to read digitally or physically most people pick printed material.
The very nature of print materials is to target those who prefer visual and tactile physical encounters.
A person willing and wanting to take martial arts class has an affinity to visual and tactile physical encounters. That's exactly what a martial arts class is.
You watch things and then do things with other people and objects. It would make perfect sense why print is still a cornerstone of martial arts marketing.
And it's going to get better. People are becoming more attracted to value and good will than straight selling. Yes, it takes longer but it makes for a lasting tribe.
One that will stick around.
This right here is like a marketing plan in a box.
Use printed materials to tell a story or narrative in a handout. Rack card, or one sheet, book mark, trial card, or small ad cards.
(Let's make it a story about a kid who grew up struggling to focus in school and the difference training martial arts made in his life he became not only a A+ student but a helpful kid at home - this could be a real story from your school or a narrative )
And also do this at the same time:
Run a Video Ad OR create your own video ad.
Drive them both to a lead magnet online. "Learn how Martial Arts classes can Improve your child's grades while keeping them lean, healthy, focused and happy this school year so you can have more time to relax"
(low-end trial) with a VSL video of your program.

Rinse and repeat - measure and adjust.
