Hi Marketing Memo readers, 

This is Caroline Bodan, Senior Account Executive here at Dance Media. I have worked in several facets of the industry, as a dancer, teacher, and retail manager prior to working with our Dance Media clients. I have learned so much about dance in these various roles and am passionate about using that knowledge to help our clients achieve their own marketing goals and continue to thrive as artistic organizations. With that, I am eager to share some seasonal promotions to bolster your presence to our audience at this opportune time.

 

Competition and convention season is right around the corner! Which means this is the prime time to target studio owners who are still making decisions for the upcoming competition season. Utilize our updated Competition and Convention Profiles to share your own unique messaging to new dance studio owners, who may not have been included in initial registration outreaches. Plus take advantage of our September back-to-school promotions including BOGO deals and unique discounts and offerings! Reach out to your sales rep today to learn more.
