If you're wondering what ever happened since my last blog

My genius mind has come up with an excellent solution to help promote the studio. Right now is Halloween and most bars are having contests for best costume and sexiest costume. Impact Movement Studios is an adult dance and fitness studio, so natuarally a gift certificate from us would be a great prize to give out on Halloween night, especially for sexiest costume. It also occurs to me that my friends Scotty and Allan, of Scallan Events and Marketing (http://www.scallan.ca/) are hosting the Halloween party at Philthy McNasty's. It also dawned on me that Philthy's is one of the busiest and biggest bars open that night. After some excellent persuasion the guys were very excited to have another prize to hand out and more importantly to help promote the studio. Once again, you must stay tuned for more...

It's time to get busy. A rival adult dance and fitness studio has decided to move a block and half away from our studio. I believe that customers will confuse the studios in our favour but I can't ignore the potential for problems. The other studio has already accused us of stealing customers because customers mixed the two of us up a few weekends ago. The studio owner thought initially that it was all her fault and had a mix up with bookings. She just tried to do whatever she could to try to make her customers happy. Later she discovered that they had booked the rival. At that point, the bride had finally calmed down and everyone was able to talk about the situation. Now,to help the business keep current/gain new customers we will now be doing lots of promoting. Stay tuned for the next post where you can get a sneak peek at what's in the works.

If you're wondering why everyone talks about networking

Last week, I was challenged by the idea of creating a business card. I tried, but my attempts seemed in vain. I felt that I couldn't create a business card that really reflected me. I had an idea of what I wanted on the card but couldn't find a template or suitable graphic. As it turns out one of the girls I have recently become friends with is a graphic designer. After speaking with her, she volunteered to do my business cards for FREE! She said that she gets bored at work and has access to free printing. I can only sum this up with one word...awesome!

Lena, one of the studio's teachers and web designers is now back in the country and able to help update the studio's web page. There will now be a page specifically for media clips, including the latest Indian fusion clip currently available at http://www.swo.ctv.ca/healthlifestyle.php?id=2776 (the coverage starts at 1:08 in). Hopefully we can also provide info about other forms of media that the studio has appeared in as well. This will help the studio develop more professionalism and will allow customers to better understand what they can expect when taking one of our classes. Yay!
