what were your most successful ways of attracting students?
Backstory:
I come from a tiny dance school, that consisted of 2 classes one night a week. My teacher ran it as a hobby, just covering her costs, but with no real desire to take it any further. She has stopped running classes, so I'm stepping up to take her place as the only person teaching ATS in my town.
I'm also halfway through a business training course as part of an enterprise incentive scheme. It comes with 12 months of income support. The requirements are that I plan to earn at least 12,000 a year in profit (which is equivalent to an unemployed benefit here - not glamorous living by any means)
I've just come back from a meeting with my business teacher, where we did the numbers and came to the conclusion that I have to bring in a lot more students, twice what I had thought was likely for the next year. Even though I have a small student base from my former dance teacher, I need more!
I haven't really been advertising much beyond Facebook. I plan to. But I'd really like to hear your success stories!
