(why Facebook shouldn’t be your only online presence)
Allows complete control over your branding, unlike Facebook.
Is accessible to all students, even those without social media accounts. (What happens if your student/parent leaves Facebook?)
Only 16% of your followers on Facebook see your posts.
Potential students search for your website, not your fan page.Your website can deliver information about classes, pricing, faculty, and schedules.
Analytics can be integrated into your website and provide more robust information about your people who visit your website.
Only your website can offer online registration.

Dancing is movement- and unless you’re a sponge, movement is life! By the transitive property, Dancing = Life. So given the choice, between standing, arms crossed, stern faced with slack shoulders and floating across the floor on two legs who wouldn’t choose dancing? Think about it- how do people celebrate the best moments in life besides with movement and dancing?
When you stand you observe life go by, but never take an active part in it. When you are dancing you are part of life! So, as the picture says: No standing! Only dancing!

It is a cure-all.
It is easy to grow a school solely through social media.
When using social media, one platform is enough.
There is no way to measure the effects.
Followers will listen to everything you say.
It’s free.

PINTREST
Pinterest is the fastest growing site today.
Pinterest drives more traffic to websites than do Google+, LinkedIn and YouTube combined.
Pinterest works by getting people to advocate for you by repinning your posts.

Spend the time: build relationships with those known for quality pins
Keep it simple
Use other social nets to feed Pinterest: Facebook, Twitter, etc
Promote more than classes: videos, events, tips, clothing
Follow the big hitters: find out who is ‘pinning’ your products and follow them. Most will follow you back.
Selective curating: Find unique pins to define your studio. Ask clients to pin pictures of themselves dancing and tag you!

Create pinboards for separate topics; popular options are personal pictures, dance quotes, stellar performers, and dance-related art.
Follow people who provide images and brands that truly excite you and show your excitement!

Showcase your studio. New facilities? Tons of achievements? Show it!
You can host promotions on Instagram: showcase merchandise prizes or give your followers a glimpse of discounted classes.
Another popular method of promotion: competition. Ask students to take photos for your studio and upload them to their own accounts with your school’s hashtag: #YourSchool’sName (no spaces!)
Provide unique content to connect with your audience. What do your dancers do on break? How do they unwind on the bus ride home?
Encourage your fans to interact with you. Feel free to tag others and thank them. Your dancers holding a “thank you!” sign shows that you appreciate all your followers and their support!

Take pictures at and during your competitions and post them for your followers!

Identify what is working and what needs improvement
Your website is your brand. Everything else drives traffic to your site.
To increase enrollment, your Website needs to be concise and attractive to viewers. It’s important to have a website.
Good Search engine optimization requires good content and frequent updates on your website.
Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest can improve your SEO and help you connect with potential students.
Hire interns or hire professionals (like School Empower )
Slow and steady wins the race. Pick one thing. (and commit to it)
