Benefits

Local Karate Studio (in Provo)

This Karate studio did their own version of a “consultation”. The manager was very supportive of the Tutor Doctor goal. Many of the children who come to his studio are looking for tutoring and academic support. Because he works with them long term and builds relationships with the families, he was willing to recommend us to them, along with leaving fliers behind and handing them out outside via a table set up once a month or so.

Flyer distribution for both businesses

LA Fitness in Florida

We walked in and asked to speak with a manager about possible open houses or events we can partake in at the gym. Our goal was to let parents and members of the gym know about our services. Luckily, we were able to sit down with their VP of Operations for the whole state and talked about the tutoring we do and what the gym would gain from working with us.

We offered to provide members of the gym 2 free tutoring hours coupons which could be included in member mailers and welcome packages. The VP loved this and offered to spread it statewide if the interest was high.

Anytime Fitness

In more than one location, we walked in and asked to speak with a manager. We let them know that many of our locations have offered deals to Anytime Fitness members and that we can offer deals specific to their location. The managers sent out direct mails to members notifying them of this deal.

We offered our families a 1-week trial with that location which potentially turned into memberships for the gym. Some location managers didn’t even ask for anything in return and said they will email out any flyers we want to the members.

Local Dry Cleaner

Gave away THANK YOU bookmarks that give two free tutoring hours to each dry cleaner’s clients. When picking up their clothes, the client will see a Tutor Doctor bookmark attached to their garment bag.

*TIP: target more affluent areas and add a tracking number to these bookmarks, print 500-1000 quantities for results.

The dry cleaner was excited to give away these thank-you bookmarks to their clients during the Christmas season as a gift.
