Martial Arts Professional Magazine

How do I promote my martial art school?

So you are an mixed martial arts professional trainer and you have opened your own MMA training school. Now the problem becomes how do I get the word out about this facility? Welcome to the Martial Art school promotional program guide!

THE PRESS RELEASE

The press release is your company’s official statement regarding the creation and opening of your business. This will need to be submitted to major media sources all around your neighborhood and in your region. Media sources to send you press release to include, newspapers, radio stations, advertisement publications, websites that have viewers and participants from your area, and television stations. Your press release should be professional and informative so that the media offices you give them to will actually want to post your information or even write a story about you to the people so that the good word about your business can be heard by everyone in town.

GIVE A DEMONSTRATION

What better way to show your area what you are all about other than to put on a free demonstration with your best fighters for the public to come see. This is the best proven way to attract new students to your classes. After they see you and your best fighters in the ring showing off just how much they now, they can see themselves in the ring in the near future as a product of your training. For best results, have a narrated demonstration where there would be someone talking to the crowd throughout the show telling them a bit about what they are doing and how they can teach the potential students how to perform these same skills when attending your classes.

SPONSOR AN EVENT

A good way to make a good relationship with the businesses in which are around your facility is to participate in community events. Being the main sponsor for events like cancer walks or antique car shows are an excellent way to have your name posted all over the town for a while. Supporting non-profit events makes your business look good to your community. This would motivate your clients to spend their money in your place while thinking in their minds that a part of their dollars is going towards those non-profit organizations.

YELLOW PAGE ADS

The first place most people look to find anything is the local phone book! This one should therefore be a no-brainer. Putting an ad in the phone books in your area each and every year is the most common sense way to reach out to your customers. Phone books are the one source of advertising that never gets thrown away. It is like being readily available to advertise to every household in the region 365 days a year.

BROCHURES

The creation of a simple brochure is the cheapest of your methods of advertising that is available in our guide. There is no need to be overly fancy with this. A simple listing of what you offer, when you offer the classes, who teaches them, and how much it costs is all you need sitting on your front room display so that it can be picked up and taken home for further review by anyone that walks in your doors.

GIVE SOMETHING AWAY

This can not be just anything either. Give away items that are kept close by and used on a regular basis that have your business name and phone number printed on the sides of it to serve as a continuous reminder of what you can do for them. It costs a little money for these items, but repetition is the key to advertising. If the see your name on that pen over and again, eventually it will get into their heads to call you to sign up! You can even go as far as to give coffee mugs to local cafes and diners for them to use for free that have your business ad on each and every mug that gets placed in the hands of every customer.
