If you hate ads, SEO, and social media marketing for your studio….

You’re going to love this episode.

A few weeks ago, we had Brian King on the podcast.

During his 5 for 5 interview, he said something that caught my attention.

Even though he has a background in digital marketing… he said that his most effective marketing strategy was an “old school” way of doing things.

Networking. Partnership marketing. Referrals.

Or, to put it a different way… marketing techniques that have been around since last century!

Now, to make sure that we brought a lot of value this episode… we brought Brian on and asked to give very specific instructions on how to run a booth at a community expo or how to do partnership marketing “right.”

So, get out your notebook and prepare to take some detailed notes on today’s episode…

Or, check out the video version of the podcast:

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

Get 250+ students with this ONE marketing technique (no ads or social media!)
Why event-based marketing is so powerful
How to set up a booth at a community event
Events you shouldn’t waste your time at
How to find the right community event
Why you should set up a booth at community events
The results of community event-based marketing
How to engage in conversation at your booth
Budgeting for a booth & merchandise
Why you should join your city’s chamber of commerce
How to partner with other local businesses
How to make time for all of this in your busy schedule

In the episode, we mentioned two other episodes that have to do with “open house” or “event based” marketing.

Specifically:

Episode 51 – No More Free Trial Lessons (w. Greg Genter)

Episode 68 – Help Them Feel the Music! (Event Based Marketing for Your School)

Those will be great resources for you in helping you get your “ground game” going!

And, as mentioned…. Here are the pictures of Brian’s booth at their community expo…
