How to build a brand community and see customer loyalty

Establishing a strong sense of brand community within your dance school is a fantastic way to retain existing students and attract new ones. Consider your own brand loyalties - what makes you consistently choose certain brands? It's not just about the product; it's the brand and the community it represents that stands out. The same principle applies to your dance school!

In this blog, we're unravelling the steps you can take to develop a robust brand community within your dance school. This way, your students will keep coming back, recognizing the incredible value your school offers beyond just dance classes.

Step 1: How to get customer loyalty

To build a community, you’ll need to understand what your customers connect with. Identify why they choose your dance school over others. Explore shared values that create a sense of belonging. Define your goals and unique selling points to emotionally connect with your customers. Knowing what makes them invested allows you to tailor customer engagement strategies, creating super loyal customers who consistently choose your dance school.

Step 2: How to speak to your customers

Communication is key at your dance school! There are two crucial things you’ll need to do: Ensure you speak your customer’s language and keep it open and honest. Understand how your customers communicate - whether they prefer detailed information or a quick overview. Consider if your audience prefers more casual or more business-oriented language. Then, tailor your language to suit their preferences. Keep them updated on upcoming events, shows, special workshops or merch releases through newsletters or other platforms, fostering a sense of community where they feel valued and informed.

Step 5: How to leverage customer feedback

Embrace feedback from your dance school community. At the end of the day, asking your community what they’d like to see more of is a sure fire way of making sure you’re offering just that! Conduct feedback surveys or use registration questions to gather insights on communication, club operations, and areas for improvement. Encourage testimonials, which not only serve as excellent website and social media content but also act as powerful endorsements for potential customers. Make it easy for parents to share their ideas, whether through electronic surveys or a physical "Suggestions Box" at the school. Ultimately, you want to make sure you understand what it is your customers are asking for and where there’s opportunities to expand or do things differently. 

And there you have it, dance school owners! These 5 steps will help you create a vibrant brand community and foster customer loyalty within your dance school. By implementing these strategies, your customers are sure to keep returning, feel valued, and be delighted with their dance experience!
