Hello Everyone,
I have a question for all of you. I am currently scouting locations for a series of classes. I have found that when the food is included and you do not have to go out teh class time flows better everyone seems happier. Which would you prefer a seminar that includes meals/break snacks/ coffe for a higher fee or just the seminar and food is up to you for a lower fee?

Hello all,

Is anyone looking for venues in which to offer continuing ed classes in the greater Seattle area? I just found 2 venues that could work. Here are their websites:

www.friendsphilosophyandtea.ning.com - Their space is big and beautiful, $50/hour, $300/day cap, or join their co-op paying $250/month for unlimited (I believe) number of hours per year. it's in Bellevue

The Center in Lakewood
http://lakewoodcenter.ning.com/
500-600 square feet, hard wood floors, room was originally built as a dance studio. $20/hour

possibly you were thinking of ATMA?

1. Go to AMTA web site home page http://www.amtamassage.org/
2. Click on the Continuing Education Tab at the top of the page
3. Scroll down to the Onsite Training box
1. Click on the Learn’N Earn Continuing Education Calendar in this box
4. Click on Add An Event
5. Then add each course, one by one
It is that easy for FREE marketing with the AMTA. and also another one that is free...Go to http://ceucompass.com/ and click on "Presenters". http://ceucompass.com/presenters/index.php
I try to post to these for the US courses, but to be honest I have never gotten any students...but it is free..your courses might do better than mine...

Okay, I stand corrected! Can't remember where I thought I read that ABMP's CE Calendar advertising was free. My humblest apologies.

Hi Debra,

If you're interested in posting courses on ABMP's Online CE Calendar and reaching ABMP's 70,000 members, the cost is $175 for both members and non-members. Unfortunately we do not have any free options. For more detailed information on what is included in that price, please visit http://www.massageandbodywork.com/advertising.htm and click on the Continuing Education Opportunities link. I can also provide you with a temporary password/ID number to view the calendar on ABMP.com if you would like as the calendar is accessible only to current ABMP members.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions - I am happy to help!

Kind regards,

Hi Eeris, I have been fortunate with free promotion because the course I teach is pretty unique...and I have a good friend with a gift-for-gab that makes the calls and sells the media outlets on my story...I have had some blips on local evening news in the human interest story and got some nice write ups from local papers as a 'new business' when I incorporated the company... one great article in North West Woman's magazine about women owned businesses and an article was published in a state news paper..in Ireland the 'Top-o-The Mornin' show (like our Good Morning America) did a great segment with demonstration and interview, they gave me a copy of the video which I have used to front other interviews....everytime I teach out of town I ask the host to contact the local media (paper, radio, tv...since they need to do so many public interest programs a year to meet FAA regulations) and ask them to invite someone to class for observation and interview...this has led to front page articles in Denmark's Elle Magazine and Japan's 'Aroumatopis'...a call to the local radio morning coffee chat thing, got a 15 minute interview as folks were going to work..all of these were to the general public and I encouraged folks to ask their practitioners for 'Stone Medicine' by name...and say 'just Google us'...when the name is Googled I'm at the top or close to it..,so have picked up a few students from this type of promotion...the national massage magazines that have done articles/interviews are directed to our profession and draw better result...I have been at this a long time and that begins to generate word of mouth...I go to some ISPA shows and set up a booth and also do local 'Body, Mind, Spirit' shows...it is all a process...
Best of Luck,...and always have business cards on hand!!...J

I have been advertising Cont Ed courses in PERG consistently for many years now. It gets into the hands of EVERY therapist a state has on file, not just members of associations. It is a catalog specific for Cont Ed only, with a cross index for dates and/or ethics classes in the back(catalogs are less likely to be thrown away than postcards, brochures, etc..). Everytime we advertise in PERG we get a considerable return on our investment. Other than search engines, this is the only marketing we spend money on.

Any tips about getting the Media attention, Jenny? I had no luck so far, even with some good connections..
