Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
1. Every month, I offer a free clinic to all my current and existing students. Just register and come to improve on the month’s topic.

2. Uschedule has a feature that sends an email to a student that has not taken a lesson at 60 & 90 days that is auto generated. I utilize this campaign as a reminder.

3. Weekly ezine – every week, all my students receive two emails. First email gives an overview of the upcoming events and/or specials at the course. Second, is a themed email on a particular subject with tips or practice drills.

4. Operation 36 – utilizing the Op36 app to track students progress and practice, bi-weekly tournaments, and communication with groups.
