Hey friends! We're back with another episode of the No Bullsh!t Business Tips!
In this episode, Amanda and I dive into the no-nonsense truths about your studio’s marketing and social media presence. Are you spending too much time curating the perfect photo for your Instagram grid? Are you showcasing only the most talented dancers with perfect technique? If so, it might be time for a change!
We discuss why fun, candid photos of happy, smiling kids in your studio are far more effective at attracting new parents and clients than the perfectly posed shots of advanced dancers. They challenge studio owners to embrace imperfection and post more “real” content that reflects the true spirit of your studio.
Tune in to learn how to use this approach to grow your business and get more trials in your studio—starting today!
Don't wait—take action and post a behind-the-scenes photo today! Plus, hear how Nathan’s marketing strategy proved that authenticity wins every time.
Make your Instagram a place where parents see their child fitting in, not where they feel intimidated. Let's go beyond the perfect photos and showcase what really matters!
