Okay, so I'm hosting a seminar in a month and a half. I've already sent out press releases to all the local newspapers, tried to arrange some radio slots/public service announcements, sent fliers and brochures to local gyms (with an emphasis on the women-only gyms) offering to help organize demos and to give group discounts to their members, and I've talked to all of my female friends and coworkers and neighbors and folks I volunteer with as well as all the guys I know to see if they know any women who need to get trained.
Tomorrow I'm going to flier the !@#$ out of this town and will do so weekly until the class ends or it fills up, whichever comes first. I'm also going to call sororities and church groups and victim groups and college women's groups to see if they want demos or talks, and I'm going to post on more listservs. Oh yeah and this dude I know promised me he'd put up fliers in all the local strip clubs. I will get the cafes and libraries and such. I have two big meetings and one big party to flier at in the next month and a half... Am kind of running out of advertising ideas, though...
We are requesting deposits because so many women who need to be at WSD seminars bail at the last minute and thought that this would prevent it. But so far I have fifteen tentative people, and not one has given me their deposit money, and nobody has asked for a demo or talk or anything. I guess it's just a waiting game? How else do you get people in your class? Btw I am not teaching this or making any money off of it so my incentive really is to make sure women who really need to be there, get there, for obvious reasons. What sucks is that the women who really need to be there are least likely to show up...
