Survey WWOD parents who havent enrolled from Trialing
Heya @Sally Prendergast Lovely to see you on the weekend. I have put together a list of questions I would like to send to the families that have come for a trial with the Wiggles and why they haven't enrolled. Open to any additions or any that need to be re-worded or taken off the list. What was the main reason you chose not to continue after your trial? - My child didn’t seem ready yet - My child wasn’t engaged - I wasn’t sure what they were learning - It didn’t feel like the right fit for us - Timing didn’t suit - Cost didn’t feel right - I’m still considering it - Other: _______ Before attending, what were you hoping your child would get out of the class? (Open answer) After attending, how well did the class meet your expectations? - Exceeded expectations - Met expectations - Somewhat met expectations - Did not meet expectations How did your child respond during the class? - Loved it and was engaged - Enjoyed parts of it - Was unsure / needed more time - Was not interested Did you feel clear on what your child was learning and gaining from the class? - Very clear - Somewhat clear - Not really clear What would have made you more likely to enrol? (Open answer) Would you consider trying another class in the future? - Yes - Maybe - No (Optional follow-up)πŸ‘‰ If yes or maybe, what would help you feel more confident to return? We’re always looking to improve and would love your honest feedback β€” even if it’s small or feels insignificant. If you have anything else to add please let us know. (Open answer)

Hi @Jules Bingham, you're asking the right questions, but there are a few tweaks that might improve response rates and the quality of data you get back. Q1 - Main reason you didn't continue The options are good but consider adding: - "I signed up somewhere else" (you need to know if they went to a competitor) - "I didn't know how to enrol / didn't hear back" (leakage you can fix immediately) If someone responds "I'm still considering it" they are a hot lead and need a phone call within 24 hours. Q2 - What were you hoping they'd get out of the class Keep this. It's gold. This answer tells you what language to use in your marketing and what parents actually value. Q3 - How well did the class meet expectations Good question, but add one line underneath: "If somewhat or did not meet expectations, what were you expecting that you didn't see?" Without that follow-up, you've identified a problem but not the cause. Q4 - How did your child respond This is really valuable. Keep it exactly as is. Q5 - Did you feel clear on what your child was learning This is one of your highest-leverage questions and most studio owners completely miss it. Keep it. If most parents answer "not really clear," that's a curriculum communication problem, not a product problem, and it's very fixable. Q6 - What would have made you more likely to enrol Keep this. Open-ended answers here can reveal objections you never anticipated. Q7 - Would you consider trying another class in the future Good question. One addition: if they say Yes or Maybe, have a direct CTA ready in your follow-up email. Something like: "We'd love to have you back, here's how to book." Q8 - Anything else Keep it. Sometimes the best feedback comes here. On the 2-week confidence program The personalised weekly notes to parents are the gold in this offer. The enrolment decision for a preschool class is almost never made by the child. It's made by the parent watching from the window or reading your email on a Tuesday morning.
New Promotion? Start a new campaign. Every time.
I got a great question in the community recently about replacing ad copy in an existing campaign. ➑️ Here's my simple rule: if you have something new to promote, create a brand new campaign. Don't duplicate an old one. Don't edit the existing one. Start fresh. When you change the copy inside a running ad, Meta resets everything. All the learning the algorithm built up, who to show your ad to, who is likely to book, gets wiped. You don't save anything by editing. You just restart the clock ⏰ And your audience data lives in your ad account and your pixel, not inside the campaign. A new campaign still has access to all of it. You're not leaving anything behind. The other big reason to start fresh is clean data βœ… If you mix a special event promotion inside your regular enrolment campaign, you can't see clearly what's working for that event. A new campaign gives you a clean read on your results. One more tip, especially if your event is coming up soon. Keep it simple and start with a slightly higher daily budget to help Meta get through the learning phase faster. The general rule is: New promotion = new campaign. Who is running ads right now? Let me know in the comments if you have questions πŸ‘‡

@Rachel Teuwsen if it's not performing well, then you can change it... resetting the learning phase can help 're-boot' a campaign πŸ₯°
Re launch old ads
Hi @Sally Prendergast Im wondering if I can just turn back on my old preschool ads that we got some good traction from but only turn on the ones with the best impressions/clicks/reach etc i.e I had 5 different pictures/videos all with the same message in the ad but can I just turn on the best performing 2 for some more traction over Easter as I haven't got time to build new ads right now?

@Victoria Lane great question! Things change so often in ads manager that I don't reccomend this as you may get errors. I also don't reccomend turning off any of the ads as each of the ads will all be assisting the others in the one campaign. Best practice is always start a new campain with at least 4 ads (including one video if possible) with each ad addressing a different level of awareness for the target audience (i.e. not knowing anything about dance, knowing about dance, knowing and trusting your dance school).

@Victoria Lane the quickest way is to follow the checklist and set it up from scratch.
First paid trial booking!
We just switched to paid trials last week and got our first paid booking today! Woo hoo!! A whole extra $8 in my pocket πŸ˜† It's not the money really, just the big step it was for my brain to switch to this model. Hope it 'pays' off (pun totally intended)

Boosting an event on Facebook
Hi @Sally Prendergast we have our show at the end of May. I will create events on Facebook with the ticket links - is it worth boosting the events or not? Thank you Claire x

@Claire Lane great question - don't boost (waste of money), but an ad campaign will work well - if you have a landing page where they buy tickets, make sure your pixel is installed and then run a sales campaign optimised for purchase :)

@Claire Lane not if you can't install your pixel on it... you could try a traffic campaign optimised for landing page views.
