this is a super simple one, but I was really crappy at least not that long ago. And I really gotten onto my staff and I've got started doing it myself. And it's actually been a huge game changer, and that is tagging your clients on Instagram. I know it sounds so simple. But it's actually not that simple.

And it's often overlooked, right? You know, a lot of us are great on stories, for example, and we're constantly posting, you know, great stories to Instagram, you know, with the gorgeous class, you know, content, all of that sort of stuff. So if you're doing that fantastic, want to take it to the next level, what that requires, is you tagging those parents, and it really is super simple, it's free, and it allows them to reshare it because otherwise those parents can't reshare 100%.

Like if you think about it, and you tag 20 of your clients, even in a week, and then 40 of each of those friends see that like it's it is free advertising. It's crazy when you start thinking about those numbers, and then you question, why didn't I take that child and I have salutely,

it is such a simple way to get that message out there for so many more people to see it. So what we would do to do this, and we've spoken to a few different studios, and it depends on the size of your studio, what you're trying to grow all of that. But one of the studio owners that we I worked with, and I gave her a really short actionable tip that I wanted to share with you today was she just had a couple of preschool classes a week and she wanted to grow her preschool programme. So in the notes section in her phone, she took it out, she asked, Well, I hope she did. This was the advice I gave her. She you know, checked with all the parents what their actual Instagram handle was right? Had it in the notes section. So Monday preschool ballet, and then had all of those tags written there in the notes section. So every Monday when she would post a photo, or you know, share a little video of the class, all she had to do was copy and paste it and put it on there. It was already all there. It's so simple, right? So simple. I

love that we actually get have a QR code to our Instagram. That's a part of our onboarding. Yeah. And so like saying, we've actually found now that we've started tagging everyone, how many parents are really following us how many parents aren't following us? And then we can say to that parent, hey, I wanted to tag you in that beautiful photo or whatever it was of your child, but I couldn't because you're not following us. They can you follow us? Like, just that is been a game changer. Absolutely.

And it's just a discussion with the parents, right? Yeah. Don't overthink it. Don't overcomplicate it, you know, if you don't know what their social media Takis, ask them, ask them before class. Don't try and make it hard. But that power of the reshare is so so valuable so
Rebecca Liu-Brennan 2:50
valuable and look don't get overwhelmed by this and think but I've got 100 kids, I've got to you know just start with one kid a day. Yeah, one kid a day is enough. Video that child doing something amazing, you know and and ask the parent what their Instagram handle is and slowly you'll build and it'll just be this amazing thing for you in your studio. Absolutely.

take action on it today. Make sure you tag one of your clients in a photo in a story today and let us know if it works. Do you start getting more reshares we want to hear about it below.
