Attendance @ Classes and Seminars
Here in Calgary, Alberta we have experienced a tough couple of years due to an economic decline related to the petrochemical industry downturn. I'd like to hear from other dojos in North America if they have experienced any decline in membership of drop off in seminar attendance in the past couple of years. Our children's program is thriving, but adult numbers have dropped. We have tried a number publicity and outreach efforts with little effect. Is it the economy, the multitude of other options/arts or need for a new approach to "sellling" our art. If you have, or have not, had similar experiences your feedback/suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers
