It's that time of year again. The martial arts papers have told you to turn your martial arts center in any child day care, summer camp, or a three phone circus. Parents of your young students asked how many field trips their children were going on, and you found out one is competing with the Girls and boys club for "rock bottom childcare pricing. "
Where are you going to find the transportation? Should you look for a bus or van? What for people with an auto accident? How many of those demanding parents have just been waiting to sue you'll have? How can a fighting techinques studio compete, on amount, with a non-profit corporation, which gets government awards?
Maybe your state has very strict childcare laws and you won't want to be caught in including between demanding parents assuring agencies. Will your town section you differently and classify you as a child day care center?
Maybe you receive a summer camp right currently, and have vowed never to make it happen again. Which parents are late you have to pay their tuition? What is the third party billing agency doing about this?
Have you ever noticed bad paying parents what are same ones who want everything absolutely free? Are you starting sensation more like you are being exploited? Do parents really look at your value in martial artistry, or is it "cheap day care" to a lot of them?
Let's face it, child child care is not why widely skilled Black Belt instructors open a fighting techinques center, but you need another source of income to survive the cleaning.
There is another way to draw a variety of adults to class for that slowest night of the week. Leave flyers around the waiting location for parents, and try an electric Yoga workshop. Some of your regular adult students will find a medicinal value in Pilates classes, too. You may even offer a kids Meditation class.
Ten years beyond, Cardio Kickboxing was a large draw in the arts studios. Then fitness centers got associated with super cheap prices. Yoga, like martial arts, is not a frugal activity. With fitness centers closing right and left, the fitness industry knows they have cut their own throats, with inexpensive price points, and little revenue expressing for it.
Yoga is here to stay and will make a knowledgeable revenue stream in any martial arts studio - even though you make it an grown - ups only program.
