We're excited about the progress that our business owners are making in LAUNCH! In Day 1, we chose our name and logo! What's more important that that? In Day 2, we chose our location and what type of classes we want to offer.
Now, we are at how we are going to allow families to enroll, capture their information and their payments! Most business owners start small and move to an enrollment software after their business is established. So, you may start by having people enroll on a paper registration form, google form or a jotform. Jotform does have a free option that you can sign up for if you decide to go that route. Google forms are typically free as well.
If you have a website, your website may have an option for enrollment and payment. Or, you can explore enrollment software such as Studio Director, Dance Studio Pro, Captyn and various other options. Since most small business owners are going to start with a more simple option that's what we will focus on for this blog post. Whatever form you choose, you want to collect the following option:
Student's Name
Student's Birthday & Age
Parent's Name
Address
Phone Number
Emergency Contact & Phone Number
Class Options
Payment Options
Sign-offs (handbook, social media, photography, etc)
Create your form and then you can publish it and we're almost ready to start sharing it.
Keep your families' information safe and secure. Here's the FTC information on keeping secure information. In our LAUNCH! Class, we explore in more detail how vital family information is for communication and future marketing. Want to dive deeper? Register for the LAUNCH! Class by clicking here.
