Some of the most common questions I receive, when it comes to marketing or advertising small businesses in education, are:

How do I find students?

What do I say to those who inquire?

Where do I find families who may be interested?

Do I have to use social media?

Do I need an enrollment process?

What should my handbook include?

Do you have a contract?

And the list goes on and on...

Whether you are a teacher or parent considering the idea of starting your micro-school (full time or part time), learning pod, homeschooling business, tutoring business or preschool, you must have a system in place to showcase your high value offer, connect with potential families, enroll and seal the deal with a wonderful and safe handbook and contract.   

I have been in your shoes trying to figure out how to make this work, find the time to create the materials and come up with the words to speak with families.  So, I feel your struggle.  But the good news is!!  We have done the heavy lifting for you!  

We’ve got step-by-step instructions to help you write powerful marketing brochures, enrollment forms, introductory packets, and so much more! You’ll also find easy-to-use templates made to simplify your creation process, as well as beautiful real-life examples used by my micro-school, Lighthouse Learning, to give you creative inspiration when designing your very own forms.  You will be able to seal the deal with peace and clarity when you hand deliver your new handbook and contract.  Tune in to today's episode to find out more and head over to our shop to purchase your documents at www.teachersletyourlightshine.com/shop

Let Your Light Shine,
