HOW DO YOU


Recommended Posts

how do you promote your art/sport in your area to let people know you are there and what you do?

 

We have to hire a hall and are unable to put a display board on the out side of the building and have no storage there. really would like our own hall but cannot afford one, but how does every one else do their advertisements.

 

any clues on how to get a website set up!! got a slow computer though!!

 

thank you

First, you don't need a fast computer to put up a website. You do need a good understanding of HTML or some other language that you can use to make web pages.

 

Second, have you tried putting up flyers or taking a small ad in a local newspaper? This worked well for me when I was opening my school. You just have to be careful and closely examine your potential students.

 

Good luck. It's tough to get things going sometimes.

I never have. I only teach MA so I can train. People find me. I don't do it for the money so I have never had to promote myself thus I can take students that I trust and am not forced to take on (bad people) lol....

I was in a similar situation for about 5 years. I taught in a gymnastics school and couldn't hang a sign out front, not store anything in the gym.

 

We were able to hang a heavy bag over the floor and had an "interesting" pully system rigged to pull it up and away so not to get in the gymnasts way.

 

As for getting students, your best advertisement is your students themselves. Word of mouth (posative, or negative) will bring in, or keep away students. If you students are happy, they will be talking about it. if they're not...well...it can go the other way too.

 

You might try to do demonstratiosn if the opportunity arises. You're in the UK, there are summer festivals there quite often, right? See if you can get involved in one and do a demo on the grass. Those are always GREAT (I think anyway).
