Filling Your School’s Marketing Events and Parties (Part 2) [7FMS Ep. #69]
by Daniel Patterson
What if you could get 25, 50, or even 75 families to come to your school location for a big community open house?
What would throwing an open house “party” do for your enrollment?
What would that do to build excitement for your lessons and programs?
What would that do for your word of mouth marketing!?!?
In this episode, we explore a different kind of open house.
This kind of open house is more of an event that showcases your school, your programs, and (most importantly) your students!!!
Nate gives practical ideas for how to fill your marketing events and who to staff it with in part 2 of our 2 part “event-based marketing” series.
But – keep in mind that the goal of this episode is not to give you another “marketing technique”… we explore something much deeper.
How to build community from the very beginning of the relationships that you have with prospective clients.
That community building is the BEDROCK of great retention and terrific student results.

- Using a party or event to build your student base
