There are pros and cons to both of these options
Get Someone Else to Market For You (An Agency)
PROS
When someone else builds your marketing for you…
You can focus on the lessons and administration of your studio. It takes a huge amount of pressure off of you.
CONS
It’s expensive. Like… really expensive. Getting someone to build a client-getting funnel for you is going to cost (minimum) $5,000… and even that seems ridiculously low to me.
Think about it… when I built a winning funnel for my own studio, my income jumped from around $50,000 to over $100,000 per year… in less than 12 months. That funnel made my life easier, and it added $250,000 in EXTRA profit over a five year period.
You’re not going to get something that valuable at bargain basement prices.
Not only that, finding someone you can trust and who understands our industry can be a challenge.
Do-It-Yourself Studio Marketing
PROS
Building your own marketing system for your studio is a good use of time. Why?
There is no one more qualified to communicate your studio’s value… than you.
Moreover, you won’t find anyone else on the planet that is more motivated to increase your enrollment… than you.
CONS
Marketing is an actual skill.
And, skills take time to develop.
