Comments on: Should You Post Your Martial Arts Class Schedule on Your Website? http://www.marketingmartialarts.com/martial-arts-class-schedule/ Proven Martial Arts Marketing Ideas for Martial Arts Business Owners Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:01:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Aikido Oshawa http://www.marketingmartialarts.com/martial-arts-class-schedule/comment-page-1/#comment-16813 Aikido Oshawa Thu, 25 Nov 2010 13:47:17 +0000 http://www.marketingmartialarts.com/?p=785#comment-16813 I think you need to have your schedule on your website. That seems to be one of the main questions that people ask when they call us. Once I have put it on the website those questions pretty much stopped. I now get questions on pricing mostly. I am thinking of putting the pricing up and all the options so that when people call or contact us from the website they are pretty much pre-qualified and they will sign as long as we are polite on the phone, because they know the schedule and they know the price they are just calling to schedule a test class or come in to sign up. I vote yes, put your schedule up. I think you need to have your schedule on your website. That seems to be one of the main questions that people ask when they call us.

If you limt your class schedule and dictate the time of the class up front to the clients they will still join. The more scarce the class the more important they become to the student. Like football, basketball practice the coach tells you when to be there and you are there. Giving to many clasess will make you to availiable and lower your value. I know it seems weird but it is tried and tested at my school and the clasess have grown. It is ok to throw a makeup class once a week. Remember it is not about being availiable to your students all the time this lowers value and increases drop outs. There is other ways to build high value without you around at the drop of a dime.

If you have a robust schedule it can definitely be a great selling and positioning tool for your school; especially if doing so ties into your unique selling proposition. Thanks for the comment.

Show Your Schedule.... I have our schedule posted in two different sections on our website. We have classes 6 days a week, with 8 classes for the beginning students to attend. I believe this is a service that the consumers in the "Get it Now" world that we live in wants. “Instant Gratification.” This is not only good customer service, but a GREAT customer service. I believe it set us apart as a profession organization by demonstrating the variety of classes we have to offer and how convenient our schedule is. I guess if you have a limited schedule and you are providing lesson on a part time basis with only 2 classes a week then you should not post the schedule. I believe in more is better. 51% of our students come from the internet... we must be doing something right.

I also think you're providing great serve and you might get more students with that referal. i see both points of view but i always as the new student what is a reasonable time they can train, if im open from 3-9 and they can come in at 1, i’ll come in at 1 to teach. some will say then they are getting private lessons for a non-private lesson rate. my master always taught me to go the extra mile for your students because you will benifit in the end.
