The Benefits of Being an ARS Affiliate
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you own/run a music lesson studio?
2. Are you supporting your lifestyle with lesson studio income?
3. Do you have a recognized brand name and logo?
4. Do you wish that you could grow your business but can't afford to "risk" it alone?
We could be the answer you're looking for. American Rock School is expanding.
We're looking for ambitious and creative partners who share our desire to teach music.
Becoming an affiliate with American
Rock School makes a lot of sense:
1. Branding & Recognition
Face it: cool sells. We advertise on the radio, print, and participate in large events such as NBT at the Ford Amphitheater, which not only drives traffic to our website and phones, it put us in the face of thousands. We already have customers from the greater Tampa Bay Area making the drive to our 2 Tampa locations because they know who we are and want to be a part of it. Our brand is growing in popularity and recognition fast. All our customers get geared up with ARS welcome kits: shirts, wristbands, picks, folders, hats and more. Our loyal students are proud to be a part of our family.
2. Respect in Numbers
An American Rock School affiliate is an advantage over a single owner/operated studio because you'll have the power of a time tested and solid company policy that customers won't be inclined to haggle with. It also adds credibility in the form of security for your customers who will feel great in the knowing they are part of something bigger.
3. Regional Marketing
This could be number one. We already market in the area more than anyone else doing something similar. We are on the radio, ranked in the top on web searches, rated "A" with the BBB, and in many school planners and yearbooks. If our brand is your brand, then calling us is calling you. We don't plan to compete with our branch affiliates for customers. Your location must be at least 25 miles from any of ours to be considered as an affiliate location.
4. Training
Students can expect the same quality of instruction from any of the American Rock Schools. Your current instructors will get the same training that we give ours with the focus on retention, versatility, and practicality. We will screen future instructors with our perfected entry exam to make sure that the right person is hired.
There is far more to teaching music than only the material if you want long-time students and loyalty to you.
5. Management and Schedule Systems
This is one of the least talked about and most important aspects of your business. Phone answering and email responding is key to growth. If a potential customer is not impressed up-front with your business' professionalism, they lose interest and respect FAST. That is why we are handling it for you up front. We collect all the info up front and send it to you so you can set them up right away. This is a no-brainer.
