Website Description

It’s never too early to start promoting your class at La Cascade.  You might want to begin by writing a class description. Visit my website to see how classes are described. I like to post your class description on the class schedule, along with a link to your website about 9 months before your class date. You can have a more in-depth description on your site.

Flier:

You might also want to make up a flier for your class with the basic what, where, when information to hand out in your classes.  I will send you a booklet which will give an idea of the house and surroundings. There’s plenty of enticing description of La Cascade and the surrounding area on my website to use.

Magazine promotion:

Below is an example of what Dayle Doroshow and I sent magazines to promote a class we co-taught. The two main points are “what” (good class description) and “where” (lay on the romance) I believe we sent them the information in early November.
