Want Increased High Quality Leads, Enquiries and Enrolments from your Website?

Whether you have your own website or you use a company such as 97 Display, this course will be ideal for you. 

As a professional mentor and school coach I know that not every school owner can see the benefit of getting professionals to help them (or wanting to spend any money on it, when they can get it for free), here is an article about growing your school without spending any money.

Preparing for 2019

Every year I look to update fixtures and displays at our venues. These are an important way we transform a school hall into martial arts dojo. Here’s a list of the items we are updating, ready for 2019. End of year sales provide a reduced cost way of ordering replacements. Here’s a list of our display updates. What are you planning on updating?

1. Student Creed and Principles of Black Belt, vinyl banners that hand a front of class to recite.
2. Roller Banner, used for back drop for photos.
3. Welcome carpet mat, embroidered with our logo. Keeps floor dry and clean in winter.
4. Shoe Racks. A great way to organise your floor and demonstrate martial arts discipline.
5. 3 Fold Notice Board. Organise your posters, easy to transport from different venues,
6. Tablecloths with logo. Cover up tables and present a corporate image.
7. Clipboards. Replace worn ones for new student PA forms. All the same design. Replace pens at the same time.
8. Use Training Pads. Sell old ones to students in end of year sale at cost and replace with new pads ready for 2019.
9. Motivational Banners. Use of own students pictures and quotes that hang inside the sports hall with our logo on them.
10. Instructor Poster. High-res pictures of the instructor team at that venue. Showing name, rank and instructor title. We use this to Dr Hoffman the instructor to new students and parents.
11. Programme Info Leaflet. Handed to all new students and parents. Explains each of the programmes we offer plus info on the senior martial arts instructor team and their training and qualifications.
12. Starter Programme Leaflet. Door to door, still works and gets a response. Updating offer, picture and text.
Let me know if KickFit Consulting can provide you with a comlimentary 2019 checklist for your school.

According to a recent article in the Guardian Newspaper - There’s one new year’s resolution that always seems to top the list: get fit. New exercise gear is purchased, fitness regimes carved out, and diets started (however temporary they may be). But while people have tended to sign up to the bigger gym chains at this time of year, a rising number now choose a more high-end workout.

Boutique studios, like cult indoor cycling chains SoulCycle in the US and Psycle in London, are becoming more popular. Smaller than your typical gym, they often specialise in one type of exercise and allow you to work out in more salubrious surroundings. What makes these gyms unique is their price: while the big chains might cost £50 to £100 a month for unlimited access, studios can charge £20 a workout.

Nobody likes it when a student tells you they are thinking of quitting, some of their reasons can be countered with variations on these statements below.

Exit Survey - Why you need one!

It's very compelling to be focused on new enrolments and not to pay too much attention to why people are leaving.  But you can learn more important information from the people who are leaving than from any other demographic in your school.  An exit survey is an ideal way to learn more about what a student / parent cares about AND you might be able to rescue them if you know more about their issues.
