Mike Mansker is teaching Kokanee Caught and he belongs to an online discussion board for like-minded Oregon fisher-folk. He posted a description of his class before the schedule came out and asked who might be interested. When the schedule came out, he posted our website and phone number and contacted the people who had responded favorably from his initial query about the class. The class is now full and he is contacting all his students with an email thanking them for registering and getting feedback about what will be the most valuable thing they could learn from the class so he can be sure to cover (within his outline) what people want to know.
Davon Cabraloff will be teaching our Zumba class and Davon has done a number of things to get word out about her class. Since Zumba is new to Bend, she started a class back in the winter and has been advertizing all over town on bulletin boards with very professional looking signs for that class. The students she has in that class were a great base for her COCC class. She also wears a huge “Ask Me About Zumba” button wherever she goes as well as other Zumba related clothing to generate interest with strangers.
Mollie Hogan who will be teaching our Hooping class added her classes to her Hoop Dazzle website and emailed a newsletter listing the classes and the COCC contact information out to her current students and others who are on her mailing list.
What ideas do you have and what has worked for you? Please comment and let us know.
