Advertising and Marketing Tips (All Teachers)
-
I’ve never done it myself, but I know some other music teachers who put on shows at the end of each term, with each of their students performing something that they’ve learned in it – invite all their friends and relatives and some of them may become insterested in having lessons too! A fair few of my students have come to me because of recommendations from their friends, so word of mouth is really one of the best ways. Great ideas above, too – I love the idea of the friends-recommended discount!

Wow, great ideas all round! So impressed!
@Matthew I LOVE the fridge idea. Good one! And a good idea for the off peak rate too… something to think about.
@Lewis Wow, I didn’t even know you were allowed to stand outside a school and hand out things.. It’s something I’ve thought about doing before but for some reason I was always scared about being taken away by the authorities haha! Awesome suggestions of places to post fliers.
I’ve had a lot more success in the past with fliers than with online too. And it feels more quantifiable than just hoping people will follow you on facebook/twitter which is more of a long term method for developing trust with future clients. I just often don’t have the patience or the social media savvy for that stuff@Dave, totally on point. I love that you’ve really capitalised on the online space. It’s so interesting that you did so well with facebook promotion! I’d been warned off that, but maybe the information I was getting was wrong? Also great idea about the local music store. I wish I could take more advantage of that as a singer!
IDEA: maybe we could all like each others’ business facebook pages? I don’t know if this would help (I have a hard time sometimes figuring out exactly how facebook fits in the marketing picture, but I suppose a few more likes is probably a good thing)?
