We had a Great Summer!

It has been some time since I last wrote on this website or blog, but i was an excellent summer for use, despite some losses of a few students. During the months of May, June, and July we enrolled over 30 new members. This was outstanding especially given the fact that the economy is still suffering.

August was a little slow, but thus far September is also looking very strong! My message to everyone at this point? Keep strong and stick to the path. Your results will amaze you!

Body Armor for the Recession

Keeping adults training.

One of the keys to success in the martial arts business is attracting and keeping adult students. Often times adults start out strong, but end up quitting down the road due to boredom and sometimes injury.

Without these adult students, your school has no future.

With this in mind, school owners, check out this coming event and learn more about attracking adults and keeping them training.

Kyusho Jitsu Information Webinar for instructors and school owners. Wednesday July 8th 3:00pm EDT http://snipr.com/lrtdj

Space is limited and this webinar is FREE.

Good Summer Coming

Now we are more than half finished June I can honestly say that it is looking like it will be a record year for summer enrollments. Now not all is good news. We have lost a few people lately due to the poor economic conditions of this city. However the numbers are still below average for the industry and with the new enrollments we are GROWING.

What is the secret? Well we kept marketing and working to get new students. One of the best times to market is in a recession. Why? Well for one not everyone is affected and two, most other business STOP marketing to save money.

School owners make sure you are still doing the things that have worked for you to get enrollments. Also make sure you are marketing to you current students for possible family add on's and referrals!

Good luck everyone!
