Email Marketing-Welcome Sequence Starter

To experience the full benefit of email marketing and get more new dancers through your doors, you’ll need to write a welcome series (aka: sequence) for your new subscribers.


A series of four to five emails works well, in which you can introduce your studio, demonstrate your expertise, and offer an incentive for newbies, so they’ll register their child for classes. Now you just have to write them. Ugh!!


This series of templates takes the guesswork out of writing your dance studio’s welcome email series. They’re super easy to use – simply copy and paste the content into your email or a word doc and fill in the blanks, changing details as necessary.

In my opinion, ConvertKit is the best email service for getting started with minimal hassle. In fact, I’m lowkey obsessed with it! I’d used Mailchimp for years and always struggled with its setup and organization, resulting in my rarely sending emails out to my readers. It’s a downright relief to report that the ConvertKit user experience is very user-friendly compared to Mailchimp (and compared to Constant Contact, which I used for years prior to that).

You can ramp up your lead generation by putting ConvertKit popups and embedded forms into place on your website. Segmenting subscribers into focused groups is a breeze, which means you can easily send different content to those who show interest in your comp teams than those with preschool children. Use the segments in conjunction with automations and you’ll keep time spent on email marketing as minimal as possible. Pretty awesome stuff.


These blogposts contain lots of juicy info on the topic of email marketing & ConvertKit for dance studios:

With Leadpages, you can create an unlimited number of landing pages and opt-in forms, and effectively integrate them with your website, social media advertising, and social media marketing campaigns. 

 

But wait… Why would you want to do that when you already have a dance studio website (aka: your #1 marketing tool)? 

Landing pages are amazing for helping you achieve specific goals, such as generating more leads or to increase registration for your summer dance programs. They’re wonderful for promoting specific events (e.g. an upcoming Nutcracker production) or promotional videos of your studio. They focus visitors in on ONE specific thing and give them a clear, direct path to conversion.

Below you’ll find 3 tools I’ve found super helpful in creating and managing my own social content, plus a FB marketing service for dance studios that could be of help to you!
