I have a problem. I work at a private college as director of nails and esthetics, a privately run college. We are quite expensive to go to, and there are other schools around us that are much less expensive. We have such a reputation in the community with the salons, day spas, and our State Board Representative, who know our school and they only hire our students. I make sure the instructors stay in the room with their students, helping them with any questions, constant demos, etc... I am being bombarded with salons calling wanting a good, qualified nailtech, and I can't get people to sign up for the program. I had a meeting with one of our admissions reps last night and she doesn't think the college is promoting nail technology very well. We offer surgical tech, medical assisting, dental assisting, massage therapy, criminal justice, and a few IT classes. Her idea is to hit the salons, asking them to put flyers or brochures at the front, but we aren't sure what they need to say. I don't want to bash other schools, but we all know the majority hands you a book, tells you to let them know when to take a test and you learn nails off of a video if you are so lucky to have a VCR. I don't want this to become a sounding board for who had the worst schools, but I would love some ideas on how we could promote the positive aspect of our school. Right now we have 9 nailtech students and two instructors, with me overseeing. I need marketing ideas on how to reach prospective students. Thanks in advance,
