90-day online marketing plan
Silver Step Dance Studio
Silver Step Dance Studio will fill its classes by reaching parents before each term begins and by giving every family and adult beginner an easy first visit to the studio.
More visits to your shop · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Set up a Google Business Profile that shows the studio address, a timetable link and photos of the floor, the mirrors and the waiting area, because parents looking on a phone like to see the room before they call.
Make a website that gives every style and age group its own page, adds a term dates page and a try-out class form, so a parent searching for kids dance classes can book a visit in one go.
Hold an open week at the start of each term and invite every enquiry to try a class, because families commit once they have seen the room and met the teacher.
