How 2020 Armor Helps You Stand out
Every school has different struggles to attract new students based on where they are located. In larger urban areas, you will be competing against other martial arts schools in your area and 20/20 Armor can be a key differentiator making your school more exciting to potential students. In smaller areas, your challenge is recruiting the students you need from a smaller population base. 20/20 Armor helps you recruit kids who like to play video games and wouldn’t be your normal customer.
How to Make Back $1,100 - 2 Vests
Tactic: Attract at a Fair "Light Up the Bob"
What You Do:
Get attendees to play Hit Meter on Level 1, and if they can get up to Yellow setting they can get a free month of classes. This way they aren’t just getting free classes, they are winning the right to take those classes. It’s not a coupon, it’s a prize. By giving students a sense of accomplishment you give them the belief that they can overcome their fear of not being able to learn. This fear is a huge hurdle keeping potential students from your school and can be easily overcome with 20/20 Armor.
Types of Local Events for Recruitment
- Demos
- Street Fairs
- Charity events
- Martial Arts School Fundraisers
- Local school district events
What You Need:
For this strategy, all you need is a mat, 1 BOB XL or Wavemaster XL and 1 20/20 Armor Vest. Recommended to use 2 of each because the lines can get long otherwise.
What You Say:
“Hey if you like to play video games, you can do so in real life, let me show you”
“How hard can you punch or kick? If you light up the vest to yellow you win a prize!”
Return on Investment:
By signing up 2 new students (avg monthly tuition of $100/month and average contract length of 6 months) you make $1,200 per event.
TOTAL: $1200
Bonus points for asking attendees to videotape their attempt and post it on their social media accounts and then tagging your club. We’ve found this an extremely successful tactic for expanding your recruitment tactics outside the event.
