Help me with a 'hook'
I run a dog training company where we operate as a membership based program where people get access to private sessions, group sessions, online training modules, and more.
We are one of the most, if not the most, expensive dog training companies in the state.
We've found success primarily through referrals, PR, and SEO getting people onto our website. The website is effective at educating the consumer and getting them ready for a bigger price tag than our competitors.
The problem I've run into is that I want to grow so I'd like to get my message out there with advertising. I've tried various things over the years with postcards, PPC, print ads, and banner ads.
None of them has been as effective as I would have liked. I believe it's because our sales process requires more education than out competitors and I haven't been good at hooking someone in to giving me a lead so we can start the education process. I think people who have seen the ad have pre-conceived notions about what training is and what it costs.
The 'hooks' I've used in the past with less than stellar results have dealt with offering a free consultation, offering $x of free gifts (online memberships, vouchers, etc.), advertising our awards and accolades, etc. Again, I've had leads and sales from these methods across the various channels but nothing that has made me want to scale up.
I think I'm too close to the project and am curious if anyone has any thoughts about a hook that you'd use?
Thanks.
