Shownotes

The Playbook for enrolling new families in your school has changed. The old rules of building a website, sending a postcard and holding an open house just don’t work like they used to. 

How many different ways are you sending out information to your families? Maybe it’s just one email. Or maybe it’s seven emails, 4 texts and a printed flyer. 

When you step back and examine your different parent avatars (listen to the previous episode to learn how to build yours), you can start to understand when to send text or email and easily personalize that to best suit all of your families.

In part three of the New School Playbook series, Chanie shares how to Be Where They Are:

Key Topics Discussed: 

  1. Your messages become invisible to a large portion of your community if you’re not sending them to what they check (i.e. are they text or email people?)
  2. In-person events will always create the best lasting impression. When a parent has a positive interaction with your school at an event, they will tell an average of nine other people. How do you make these kind of events?
  3. How do you know if your messages are even being read? Learn how to audit your current communication methods and see how many people are actually opening and viewing them.
