This post is for all of the Zumba instructors who wonder how to market their Zumba classes.  Zumba is just like any other business because advertising can lead to increased class sizes and more revenue for your Zumba business.  Many of the Zumba instructors we talk to are very excited about the classes they offer and have special things they do to make their class a little different.  Excitement about what you have to offer is a key ingredient because your excitement can be contagious to others.  Excitement alone can not grow your business.

I don’t care how excited you are about your new Zumba classes if no one knows who you are, where the classes are, and what is being offered you might find growth a little slow. If you want to grow your Zumba classes start with word of mouth.  Get people around you excited about what you are doing and make sure they tell others.  Word of mouth is free and a very effective way of getting new members.  Advertising and marketing your Zumba classes can not stop there.  All of these people that you excite need to have some type of marketing material in hand to give out to others.  The marketing material at minimum should be a business card listing information on how to contact you… the Zumba instructor professional.  Sure you can spend 10 dollars on one of the suggested business card websites and buy something just like all of the other Zumba instructors have.  Another option is to print out cards on your home computer.  Either way it will get your name in a potential member’s hand in the same boring way others do.  More effectively would be a professionally designed business card printed on high quality card stock with a perfect finish and proper message.  Here at 509 Media we offer these services for a very affordable price.  1000 business cards normally run 60 dollars plus design and shipping.

OK, now you have your Zumba followers handing out business cards for you to people in your area.  Many Zumba classes are held in other gyms, churches, schools, and so on.  You do not have a sign to direct people to you that is fixed in a permanent location.  A sign is a marketing tool that works even when you are home sleeping.  A sign does not have to be a permanent fixture.  A sign can also be a vinyl banner.  Here at 509 Media we have designed and printed many Zumba banners.  A banner is a low cost solution to a sign.  It can be hung and removed with ease.  A great feature of a banner is you can move it to different location if the old one is not getting you results.  A banner is not expensive like some will lead you to believe.  509 Media can print a full color banner with photographs on the banner for little money.  For instance a 3 foot by 8 foot banner would cost roughly 100 dollars plus design and shipping.  The banners are printed on 13 oz heavy duty gloss banner material.  The banners can be used outdoors or indoors.  We typically install grommets  every two feet around the edge of the banner to make it easy to hang.  The 3×8 banner is just one example for size.  509 Media prints banners in house so we can custom design the graphics and the size to fit your need and more importantly your budget.

509 Media can also print small Zumba related stickers for you to help promote your classes.  A small sticker could be placed on members’ car windows, on school notebooks, on water bottles at the gym, or where ever you can think of to help promote your brand.  You class is your brand and it will benefit you to think this way if you want to effectively advertise your Zumba classes.

I have mentioned a few marketing ideas you should consider.  There are many more inexpensive things you can do to better promote and market your Zumba class.  If you would like to discuss other marketing ideas we are here to help.  Feel free to call anytime.  334-446-0321.  We can design, print marketing materials, and ship them to your door.
