Hello All, Please, I need your input to figure out if I am on target and how to improve enrollment. Situation: •Just entered the 2nd month of opening a school •The location is in a Wellness Center Gym •The demo for this community is: age 35-65 and middle to upper middle class •The school is open Mon (7-9pm) – Wed (730-930pm) – Fri (7-9pm) – Saturday 1-3pm) •We offer Kempo Ju-Jutsu classes or self defense Escrima classes – both 4 times a week •So far we have only 6 students here •Attempting to get a children’s program – meeting some resistance •My overhead is zero– except for my time – I have been layed of from the day job since August 1 – so there is a sense of urgency Advertisements: •We have had announcement in the Wellness news letter •I have done weekly displays at this center – sometimes 4 displays a week •We are about to place a PR release in the local paper •Our flyers are everywhere in this location Questions: •So far only 6 students – Not happy with that number – is my expectations too high-? •What else can I do to attract more students-? •If I do not get the children’s program here – time to look elsewhere-? I believe in the council of others in order to hopefully make a wise decision. Your input, as always is respected and appreciated. Thank you
