Social Media Marketing For Dance Studios
Facebook is one of your best options as it is free to use. Setting up an account is easy and should be created with your studio's name. With over 300 million users you are guaranteed to find your target audience and plenty of them!! By posting frequently, with interesting stories, pictures, and videos there is a larger chance of people inviting their friends to take a look at your studio thus increasing word of mouth advertising.
Twitter is one of the fastest growing platforms available and will enable you to submit short updates that are available to your followers. The more followers you have the better. Include your Twitter account name in your emails and website this should get a lot more hits. People can also find your account by searching for a keyword that may appear in one of your posts . Stick to relevant topics, in this case dance. This will gain your studio followers that share common interests which once again gives you a better chance for word of mouth advertising. This form of dance marketing also lets your clients keep track of daily updates, like changes in class times, additions of classes, or even how you are feeling that day. This adds a more personal feel to your marketing.
Linkedin is great for connecting with other businesses and allowing visitors to see a simple profile of your dance company. You can allow people that know you personally to leave recommendations, which in turn will give you great credibility to prospective clients. There is also the opportunity to answer questions and participate in various groups that pertain to the same field as you, making you an expert in your field to prospective clients.
By joining local based sites such as Yelp, you will be able to target not only people with an interest for dance , but also ones that are able to attend your studio. By registering you will appear in a set of search results so whenever someone seeks a dance studio in your town or city, they will have a better chance of finding you instead of your competition.
By far one of the most effective tools for a dance studio to use is videos. How can anyone tell how good your teachers are if they haven't seen them in action?4
Video sharing sites such as YouTube allow you to upload videos for the whole world to see. Not only will this be a chance to show what your studio specializes in but also for entertainment purposes. There a lots of things to record in terms of dance. Choreography tutorials are always a great way to advertise. This is particularly popular when a song goes viral or just hits the charts.
Another way is to record recitals and performances of both teachers and students alike. Even recording in the class is a great idea. Often whoever is in the video will send the link to their friends and family, who then send it to their friends. Making this an easy way to spread the word, advertise, and increase dance registration through social media marketing.

Benefits Of Online Marketing For The Arts
Owning your own arts or dance business can decidedly be a positive thing, but at the same time it can be very stressful. Making your way through what should and should not be done, and what works best for your business can sometimes be too much for one person to handle. One thing that is for sure is you must supply some form of advertising to gain business. This can be a very difficult task on your own and is something that you may want to consider hiring a dance advertising company for. They will put different marketing strategies and tactics into place. One of the possible strategies is online ads. Here are some of the benefits of using ads in your online marketing strategy.
You are going to find that people can remember your product better based off of the flashy ads that you have. These ads are going to be the ones that can cause people to talk. Hopefully they will be talking because of the wonderful way your ads were done, but it could also be because of the way that the ad was presented. Make sure you present your ads in a manner that people will organically follow with their eyes. Think of the letter "F" organize your ads with your most crucial info that you want to get out following the pattern of the letter "F".
You might also find that a local dance studio could be willing to help you out for free as long as they get some form of benefit as well.

7 free tips on internet marketing!
If you run a business you’re smart enough to learn any of the following internet marketing tips that will enable you to begin to market online effectively.
1. You Should Have An Open Source Website Content Management System
Basically, open source is free stuff. A content management system is simply a means by which non technical people can edit website content and even change your website design. If your website has a CMS, it will mean YOU can edit the content yourself, dialing out the web design company and so saving your business money. In years gone-by a good CMS cost THOUSANDS OF POUNDS. Now, you can get excellent content management systems for FREE.
There are a lot of Open Source CMS on the market today. Usually they are simple to set up (although you might need a bit of technical know-how) and easy to configure. A lot of them come with many kinds of templates that let you change the design of your site easily.
To add to that, you can easily add what are called extensions to your new cms that will add functionality to your site (like a forum, booking system or a poll).
To compete in Google today you need to be regularly adding good content to your site to attract visitors. A content managed website makes this easy and enjoyable and ultimately puts you back in control.
Hobo offers an open source cms configuration and set-up service called Arachnid (which you’ll need if your not willing to spend the weeks learning how to do it properly).
2. Google Local Business Center
Yes! You can get to the top of Google – guaranteed! And for FREE (albeit in the Glasgow area and based on the number of competitors already featured). You can also get free directions to your business. It only takes about 24 hours to get listed above that pesky competitor who’s been there for the last 7 years! Try it out at Google Local Business Center before they do!
3. Google Analytics
Track your visitors for free. Find out where they come from and where on your site they go. You can even find out which exact keyword combination visitors typed into Google that lead you to get an email from your website. For most this is the only website statistics program you will ever need. And yes! It tracks everything, including visitors from Yahoo and MSN and other websites. Sometimes you get what what you pay for, and on some occasions, you actually get a lot more. Try Google Analytics FREE for yourself.
4. Get a Blog!
You’re website needs a blog! Yes, you might not know what this is – but everyone’s doing it (at least everone who is generating lots of visitors to their site!). A blog is ideal for your news section in 2009 and lets anyone in your organization easily add content to your site if necessary through a simple online interface. As mentioned, we use it for our news section and basically it lets you add fresh news content easily without any wwebsite expertise and to boot it allows you to, via blog techy stuff, instantly promote whatever article you’ve written worldwide to blog search engines everywhere.
We use Wordpress. It’s free, too, and probably the best! It takes minutes to install on your site and can be configured in about 4 hours to look and operate like the rest of your site (like ours). Download a copy at Wordpress for your site.
What? You don’t have a website? Then you can set up a free blog on Wordpress.com or Blogger (not ideal – but using this method you actually don’t need anything apart from an email address).
5. Organize Your Own Domains
Domains can be confusing. My advice? Set up an account with 123Reg.co.uk and manage all your domains here. Just the domains, mind. Get the hosting elsewhere. Open an account for free and start adding domains (web addresses) you want to own (domains cost about £10 for 2 years depending on whether it is a .com or .co.uk etc. Then, organize hosting, but not through 123. Why not try out…..
6. Organize Your Own Hosting
Through a reliable host, you can organize your domain/s through a plethora of packages. There are a bazillion hosts out there, a lot of them good. At the time of writing however I believe Rochen do not support .asp, which might be a problem for some.
However if you are following any (or all) of the advice on this page (ie open source CMS or blog using PHP/MySQL) make sure your host suppots these platforms.
Basically if you organise your own hosting and domains it really puts you in control. If you’re in control you call the shots with your web development company. It’s not a hard thing to learn how to do, either.
7. You don’t have to pay to get into or (free traffic from) Google. All you need is a link from a site already in the index (ie already in the Google results pages). Get a link from a good site, though, and your site could be completely spidered in a week. Then you too could enjoy more free stuff from Google – traffic! Kiss goodbye to all those seo companies who say they will get you into Google for only £39.99! Sweet! Check out our very popular free guide to search engine optimisation.
