Excellence Award | | | For this month's excellence award, we were looking for a retail store that does a great job promoting their in-store classes. Meant to Bead from Sun Prairie, WI promotes their classes in many different ways. I want to point out 3 ways that they have impressed me with their classes: - The class presentation in the e-newsletter is very informative. Each class is announced with the title, the date (which is always that same week), the time, the cost, and a beautiful picture of the finished product. Easy and simple can definitely be better in these circumstances!
- Meant to Bead is a part of our Rewards Program and uses its benefits to help their store. They request the free projects available to them and use them to teach as a class. They also pair the book with the classes and each student can receive $7.50 off the price of the book. What a deal!
- Some classes are taught by known authors and artists. Bringing in a celebrity always seems to get people excited!
Congratulations Meant to Bead on doing a great job of promoting your in-store classes! We hope that your story inspires others to try some of these great class ideas. |
