1. Commit to videos for your academy.
Most people spend their time on social media watching videos. Reels, shorts, stories, YouTube videos. This is where the attention is, and we want to help you get off the fence once and for all and commit to video. You may be nervous about this because you’re camera shy or concerned about the cost, but we’re here to help you get started.
Not sure where to start with video? Check out our Starters Guide to Video Marketing for Martial Arts to get rid of that excuse. And if you’re concerned about cost, you can purchase everything you need to get started for less than $100 with that guide. Make the purchases, do your make-up and jump into the second step to getting higher quality martial arts leads.
2. Start Multi-Channel Advertising.
At Pack the Mats, we do more than just Facebook Ads; you should be too.
There are 4 main advertising platforms for martial arts schools right now, and you need all of them:
- Facebook Ads
- Instagram Ads
- Google Ads
- YouTube Ads
Commit to all of the platforms and watch what happens. With videos and multi-channel marketing for martial arts schools, many of our clients have become like a local celebrity. Families around town that they haven’t worked with (yet) recognize them. Kids will approach them and say “hey I saw you on YouTube”!
Our point is that it won’t be as painful as you might imagine. It might be a lot of fun.
3. Get a Website that Converts Visitors to Booked Appointments.
To get better quality martial arts leads, you need a website that ranks well in local searches and converts visitors into students.
If you’re getting less than 10 leads per month from your website, you have a problem with your website.
The problem could be design, it could be the call to action, it could be a search ranking issue, but when you’re running ads on these platforms to get local families to know, like, and trust you, then when they search for martial arts, they need to find YOU!
Leads seeking you out online are the highest quality and will book an intro and enroll. Stop repelling them with a bad website.
Not sure if your website sucks? This guide will help you.
4. Follow Up with All of your Leads
We handle many martial arts schools’ lead follow-up and intro booking process. We send text messages and emails, and we call them.
Yes, it’s 2026, but people still answer the phone and schedule!
A quick follow-up process informs the lead that you are excited about getting them in the door to check out your academy. If you do that, you will get more appointments, and the leads will be more excited to come in.
