Re: Attracting new students.
The vast majority of our new students come form the internet and word of mouth. I've recently started thinking about some other ideas like radio commercials and those ads for local businesses you see before movies (a local Hapkido school has one and it's really quite nice).
Back when I was doing Tai Chi we had great success with getting the local tv stations and newspapers to come do a story on us.
We have never gotten a new student from a demo and the Yellow Pages ad hasn't generated any inquiries for a long time now (I think Sensei cancelled it this year).
