There are many promotional products that

especially suited for each of these purposes. Take

look at some of the specific ways that your dance studio could be using promotional products to train

spotlight on the talent in your stable.
Attract New Students
Be sure to participate in youth

festivals where parents will

you. Arrange an attractive display of various promotional products - t-shirts, jackets and roll bags - at your table along with printed leaflets that show your dancers having fun together. You might offer a free kit bag with every new registration at

cost of about one week's lesson.
Upsell existing students
Want to

third class? Offer studio jackets to those who take three or more classes a week. You can also

jackets for sale at a profit to those who

fewer classes.

of your studio. Your dancers will love showing their allegiance to their “team” by wearing t-shirts with your name on them, carrying your name on their kit bags - even carting about sports bottles and

mugs with

name on them. Every t-shirt, sports mug and kit bag that's

Play into their desire to be part of something special by offering a variety

Thank your students (and their parents)
One of the most common uses of promotional products is as

appreciation gifts. There are many types of promotional products that you can use this way, but one that will stand

in the minds of your students - as well as being used and seen every day - is a calendar with photos of your students for each month.

products that you can sell as
