The reason could be that you have best qualified teachers, your students will get the support from them anytime even out of the classes timing through your class’s forum. They will get study materials, time to time tests, comfortable batch size etc. These are the basic aspects parents look before admitting their children to any classes.

Suppose your classes is based in Dadar then include location Dadar and surrounding area only and also exclude the area out of Mumbai. By doing this you will promote your ad in front of potential audience eventually prevents wasting money.

Choose the right time to reach your audience. Spend the time and find out at what time your students are active on social media before starting advertisement. For classes, you have to make a call to parents to take follow ups. So be smart with calling time such that they will never tell you “I’ll catch up you later. I am busy right now”.

YouTube is the best channel for you to gain students and their parent’s trust. Upload basic concept of each chapter so that your audience will get your way of teaching. Apart from online advertisement, hoarding would be the medium to advertise your class.

Now give the answer to the last question. It is about the person you are using to attract your new students. So, your passed out students and their parents will act as a brand ambassador for your class. Upload reviews of your students with parents, use pictures of your toppers into hoardings.
