*Quick Tips For Marketing And Pricing*

We have been discussing in the FP FB group struggles that FP teachers may be experiencing. And the number one struggle is how to get new people into classes.

1. Organise a monthly/bimonthly free taster masterclass for people to try. Potential customers need to experience you and your teaching before they will commit to signing up for course. Market on social media.

2. Have you got a private Facebook Group for your clients?
Add videos, talks, customer service and additional information online away for your live classes providing great value.

3. Launching a new class?
Plan a social media marketing campaign, day by day using Facebook events, Facebook Live, Countdown to the day on social media, Facebook and Instagram stories,

4. The structure and pricing of your courses.
It’s very hard to continually market pay as you go classes on social media. Run courses paid for in advance and create strong terms and conditions or have a monthly “paid for in advance” direct debit.
Online booking services work really well but if you are pricing your classes too low with little margin the booking systems take a booking fee so eats into your profit.

5. Summer is coming! Are you planning Pilates In The Park?
Do the research and find a local park and plan your FP In The park this summer. It’s a fantastic way to promote your classes.

Everything you do in your business costs YOU money and TIME. therefore, it is crucial you are charging enough per class/course to account for the additional time you spend.
Time spent prepping, time spent on social media, your online groups, business expenses, travel time, equipment, insurance, music, licences, writing newsletters, ongoing training…..

*Teaching the class is the easy bit*
You DO need to factor this into your pricing structure.

I’d love to know what you think.
