Hi Terry,

We talk to customers all the time about their most important challenges. And one of the most common questions we receive is: How do I enroll more students and cancel fewer classes?

We want to help them and you answer this question. So, once a week over the next several weeks, we'll be sharing some of our blog posts with you covering different ways you can improve your program's enrollment.

Today's Topic: How to Tell if Your New Class Will Succeed

To add or not to add? That's the question educators are constantly facing when building our their class offering list. How many times have you put time, effort, and resources into a new class only to be forced to cancel due to lack of interest?

There are several things you should take into account before adding a new class that can give you great insight into its future success. Here are a few:

Proof of Market
Practical Research
Run a Test Class

For the full list of tips and tricks on using research, surveys, and data to explore new offerings, read our blog: An Educated Decision � Tips on Validating Your Next New Class.

Hi Terry,

You probably spend lots of time on social media. But how much are you leveraging its power to promote your classes?

Using social media is a great way to generate excitement, discussion, and enrollment for your classes, and it's free to use! Why not take advantage of that?

The best part is, you don't have to start from scratch. CourseStorm's software integrates beautifully with your favorite social channels so you can promote your program with confidence and ease.

Check out our blog post, How To: Promote a Class on Social Media for a step-by-step guide!

Hi Terry,

First impressions are a powerful thing. When people are browsing your class catalog, they often decide in a split second whether or not an offering interests them. If you don't make your classes sound enticing, you're missing out on opportunities to maximize your enrollment!

There are lots of ways to build powerful class names that resonate with people.

Keep it simple
Use language your target audience cares about
Give them an idea of what they'll get out of that class

Check out our blog post, Creating Class Names That Attract, for other ideas that will make your next new class stand out!

Hi Terry,

You have good taste and that's why finding the right images to market your classes can be a painstaking process. It's challenging to find that unicorn photo that is both high-quality and free to use.

So, how do you find that perfect photo?

Terry,

If there's one thing we hear more than anything else, it's that running an educational program of any kind can take a lot of time and work. It's one of the reasons we do everything we can to make sure that using CourseStorm is impossibly simple. But as we head into the fall season, what if there was a way for you to regularly reach your students and advertise your classes without doing any extra work?

Today we're thrilled to announce our new automatic email marketing feature. If you choose to enable this new option on your site, we'll automatically send out emails to your students advertising a selection of your offerings. We do all the work: deciding the best times to send notifications, picking students to receive them, and choosing what to promote.

Even better, students who have placed CourseStorm registrations with your organization in the past will receive personalized recommendations based on their registration history. Did a student take an Intro to Gardening class? We might send him a notification about the new Fall Gardens class you just added. Have a student who loves your yoga classes? She'll probably want to know about that vinyasa flow class that's starting in a couple weeks!

Automatic email marketing will be completely free for all CourseStorm organizations, and we're looking for programs that want to get started with it as soon as possible � before we release the feature to the public.

Hi Terry,

You know how quickly your inbox fills up, and the same is likely true of your prospective students. This means you need to deliver emails they�ll be excited to open!

How can you do this? The first tip is to have an objective for every email. If you try to accomplish too many things in one email, you�ll confuse readers and they won't take any action. Plus, they won�t be as interested in your next email. Keep it brief with one call-to-action, and they�ll be more inclined to engage and they�ll know they can open future emails for quick, valuable information.

Want more tips for sending great marketing emails? Check out our blog post, Crafting the Perfect Email.

Hi Terry,

We hope that the information we've sent over the past few weeks has been helpful!

We're always working to answer the questions that you have about marketing your classes and program. Your interest in past posts shows that you�re ready to connect with prospective students and fill your roster every term. (And we are really happy to help!)

If you've found value in what you've been reading, you may wish to watch a video of our recent webinar, "Increase Class Registrations with a Powerful Marketing Strategy," in which I cover a number of online marketing tools you can use to grow and promote your program �all of which are free.

We invite you to get the video and we hope to hear from you soon!

Happy November, Terry!

We're planning for 2020 here at CourseStorm, and we have a couple of updates that we hope will help with your planning for next year.

Introducing the CourseStorm Dashboard

We're data lovers here at CourseStorm HQ. With our robust exports for registrations, payouts, and more, we've always made it a priority to give you access to your data to do whatever reporting you'd like to do.

But we know there are times when you'd like an at-a-glance overview of some of your most important stats. That's why we're introducing the CourseStorm dashboard. Beginning next week, it will be the new welcome screen when you log into your administration area. You'll see it starting six months after you've taken your first registration.

We're starting with some of the most-requested metrics: how many registrations you've received and the dollar value of those registrations. And we'll be building more information and customizability into the dashboard in the coming months that you can use to grow your program.

Be on the lookout for the dashboard starting next week!

$75,000 in Auto Marketing Registrations (and Growing!)

We launched our new auto marketing feature in the middle of August, and programs around the country have been using our personalized recommendation emails to increase visibility and generate more revenue. Since then, the first batch of programs to use auto marketing has earned over $75,000 in registrations from links in the emails we send. And since we generate and send these recommendations automatically, that's $75,000 in registrations without any extra work or marketing dollars!

What's even more amazing: a few programs using auto marketing have earned more than 25% of their total revenue from auto marketing since they turned on the emails for their catalogs.

It's not too late to join in! Just click on "Auto Marketing" in your administration area menu. From there, it's just two clicks to enable the feature. We'll take care of the rest! (To learn more about how to enable auto marketing on your CourseStorm site, visit our help site for more information.)

Enjoy the season, and we'll be in touch soon with news about some more exciting updates!

Happy December, Terry!

We're wrapping up the year with a bunch of gifts for our CourseStorm community. There�s a lot going on, so let's get right to the announcements!

Customize Receipt Emails with Directions and More

We've heard your requests, and we're excited to announce that you can now add customized, location-specific info to the receipt emails your customers receive after registration. Whether you want to give instructions for what to do once students arrive, link to a location map, or add your own directions, we have you covered.

Adding your own information is really easy. Just edit any location by visiting the Locations section of your admin area, located in the "More" menu under Catalog.

Custom location information in CourseStorm

Any info you add will show up both at the bottom of the customer�s receipt email and in the automatic reminder emails we send out two days before class. (Not sure if you have reminders enabled? Check all your notification settings in just a couple clicks by visiting Settings > Notifications.)

Thanks to Diann from MSAD #11 Adult Education, Christie from Laramie County Community College, Petra from Clover Park Technical College, and everyone else who requested this feature!

Putting Your Best Classes Front and Center: a Catalog Sort Update

We want your students to find your available classes as easily as possible. To make sure the best classes are front and center, we've changed how we sort lists of classes in your catalog to put the classes coming up soon at the top. From there � as always � they'll be able to decide whether they'd like to change to sorting by name or price. (We'll still show classes alphabetically in the administration area.)

Improving Password Resets

It may be the holiday season, but we know a lot of programs are already preparing for January or even spring classes. And for any students who might�ve forgotten their CourseStorm passwords since their last registration, we�ve made the password reset process more clear. We hope that�ll lead to less time managing accounts and more time for you to create great experiences for your students!

Add a Little Holiday Cheer

We were in full snow globe mode yesterday here at our home base in Maine. At times it was tough to see out the window!

Whether you're in the midst of a blizzard or lounging on a beach in Hawaii, we wanted to share a taste of the season with you. Today we're introducing holiday theme decorations, available to anyone using our default Stripes theme.

If you turn it on today, we�ll add a touch of snow to your catalog�s home page for the month of December:

To let it snow on your site, head into Settings > Customize Theme in your admin area. If you�re using the Stripes theme, you�ll see a checkbox to enable holiday themes at the bottom. (And if you�d like to switch to the Stripes theme, let our Customer Success team know!)

Stay warm, and keep an eye on your inbox for even more updates soon!

Hi there!

We're sure that you're all deep in the new year's class offerings, and we wanted to briefly share some new features and updates to CourseStorm that might help your next session be even more successful!

The CourseStorm development team started 2020 with many plans for the year, among them an internal recap of what we'd done in 2019. We felt compelled to reach out and share what we accomplished and added to CourseStorm's class registration system last year.

Class visibility options, including unlisted classes
Automatic class reminder emails
Printable class rosters
Custom payment plansWordPress plugin
Auto marketing with personalized recommendations

...and a few extra things to help programs using CourseStorm manage and market their classes more effectively and efficiently.

Check out our more detailed feature review.

As always, we want to thank all of the programs that have suggested features to us over the years. We truly value their input and want to do everything we can to help CourseStorm users' programs thrive and grow! (We hope that our feature review confirms that!)

We're always interested in your questions or thoughts about CourseStorm too! You can reach out to us any time at contact@coursestorm.com.

Sincerely,

Hello Terry,

As we push closer and closer to the end of 2020, we''ve been thinking about time here at CourseStorm. It''s likely that you are too. We all spent time in 2020 rapidly adapting to constantly changing challenges. So I''ve been musing on how to get some of that time back, or at least have some extra time in 2021.

It''s saving time that brings us to our latest blog topic: software integrations! They save us time every day, and I hope that you can gain some extra time next year by letting the software do more of the work for you!

I invite you to learn more by checking out Software Integration Basics - What They Are and Why They Matter.

Here''s to a new year with plenty of time to grow for all of us!

Warm wishes,

Monique at CourseStorm

As always, I''m interested in your feedback, questions, and thoughts about these articles! I personally read every email you send. You''re always welcome to share your thoughts with me at outreach@coursestorm.com.

Hello Terry,

It's no surprise to you that the first half of 2020 has presented new challenges for educators across the country. Summer''s here and we're still affected by the uncertainties brought about by COVID-19. It feels like everything is staying the same while also changing by the minute.

However, some things haven't changed - learners still need education, workers still need training, and people always need (perhaps more than ever) opportunities for personal enrichment. While official recommendations are responding to the needs of the moment, organizations still need to plan for the fall.

We''ve complied some strategies to help and invite you to read our latest post,

Preparing Your Program for a Flexible Fall.

We''ve also created a free Peer to Peer Panel Webinar series, so you can learn directly from those in the field, just like you.

Our next Peer to Peer Panel is at 1pm on June 25th. CourseStorm''s Head of Customer Success Ashleigh Briggs will facilitate a conversation among community college program leaders about how they''re managing continued challenges and planning for a strong fall. (And while this one features community college programs, we''re confident that there will be thoughts applicable to any educational program.)

Hello Terry,

As programs resume in-person classes, we understand that communicating new and changing expectations to students can be challenging.

But there''s one valuable communication tool you may not think to use: your online class registration form. Your registration form can be used not only for gathering but also for sharing -and confirming- information and expectations. Plus, integrating key information into your registration process gets student buy-in before they''ve even purchased your class, making things easier for everyone.

We cover seven topics that you may consider covering in your forms in our new article, Using Custom Forms to Communicate with Your Students.

Using Forms to Communicate with Your Students

Have you used your form for something new and innovative? Or have you used another unique method? Please, share your stories with us at outreach@coursestorm.com!

Until next time,

Greetings!

Can you imagine the following situation?

"Last year I had one customer call and complain that our registration system was so difficult to use that she said, 'now I remember why I quit taking your classes,' which wasn't the only complaint and is what prompted me to seek out a new system."

Ever heard something similar? That''s just what Lorrie E. Berry, Program Coordinator for Community Education and The Business Training Center at Shasta Community College in Redding, California, heard. It prompted her to take a look at how the experience was for her students and to find something that would improve her students'' registration and customer satisfaction.

Ultimately, she chose CourseStorm to help her program meet its challenges. Now, she has happier students and she discovered that it saved her staff invaluable time in the process. You don't have to take our word for it, though because we invite you to read Lorrie''s story.

We''ll leave this short and sweet - we know your time is valuable, and really, Lorrie''s story is much cooler than this email.

Until next time!

Greetings,

We have been carefully watching the effects that COVID-19 has had across the country, particularly on educational programs.

We understand the challenges that you're working through: concerns about lost revenue, ongoing expenses, and what registration volume may look like for your organization over the near and medium-term.

While we can't tell you when things will return to "normal," we''re confident that normalcy will return. To that end, we'd like to share some strategies ...

Hello Terry!

We know that many programs rely on printed catalogs to advertise classes. But concerns over changing classes, postponements, cancellations, and the loss of public reading spaces like libraries and waiting rooms may make a printed catalog feel like a more risky investment than normal.

Fortunately, if you have an online catalog, there''s a solution that''s easier than you might think! You can connect with your students where they are - and where they want to be reached - by using text messages.

We invite you to learn more by reading our latest article, Getting Started with SMS: Marketing Your Educational Program via Text Messages.

Getting Started with SMS: Marketing Your Educational Program via Text Messages

We learned many fun facts, including that the average American checks their phone 47 times per day. Text messaging creates a lot of opportunities to share your great educational programming with students in a constantly changing world.

Until next time!

Hello Terry!

Educational programs have done an incredible job of finding new ways to connect with their learning communities, including accelerating online education. But what do you do when hands-on lessons are critical to what's being learned? And what do you do when that's what your students want?

We share with you some four of the most interesting -and achievable- types of venues your program can use for in-person classes: outdoor areas, event locations, unused commercial properties, and municipal spaces.

Check out our list of Alternatives to the Traditional Classroom.

We also provide a short list of things to consider if you''re going to utilize an unusual class location.

Has your program held in-person classes in a unique space? Was it an "interesting experience" or a great success (or both?) Would you do it again? Would you do something differently? I''d really like to hear your stories and learn from you!

You can reach me at outreach@coursestorm.com.

Hi Terry!

We recently announced we''d be helping CourseStorm customers more deeply integrate with online classes. As many of you are turning to new ways to accommodate your students, we are prioritizing CourseStorm feature updates that can make the biggest impact for you.

To that end, today we''re announcing a beta program for two new features -- both designed to make running online classes easier: customizable receipt emails and file attachments.

We''ll be rolling out both of these features to all CourseStorm programs very shortly, but if you''d like early access, let us know, and we''ll enable these tools.

Customizable Receipt Emails

One of the most-requested features in CourseStorm is the ability to add class-specific information in the receipt emails that customers receive after they place a registration. That's especially useful for online classes!

For example, using a customized receipt, you can automatically include a link to your online class or video conference for each registration that comes in. The same is true if you''d like to send a materials list or other important information.

Better yet, if your program has class reminder emails enabled, we''re pleased to announce that you can customize those as well!

Here''s an example of how this customization appears for your students:

Sample CourseStorm receipt showing additional information specific to a class.

File Attachments

File attachments allow for the easy upload of materials your students will need. Anything to help your students get started -a welcome packet, participation waiver, scholarship form, your refund policy -can up be uploaded for easy access. No need to fuss with online storage and making sure everyone can access it. Just upload it to CourseStorm!

For those running online classes, attachments allow you to provide a class roster with materials and reading lists, notes from class discussions, and even post-class followups (like dance routine notes, a PDF of sheet music, or class discussion transcript).

Our new attachments feature makes including files in CourseStorm easy. You can add files anywhere you can add formatting to text: class descriptions in your catalog, marketing emails, and even the new customizable class receipt emails!

To add a file, simply click the paperclip icon and upload your file. We''ll include a link to it right in the editor so that your customers can easily view or download your file.

Graphic showing the CourseStorm attachment feature

Join the Beta

All CourseStorm programs will have access to these tools soon, but again, if you'd like early access, please fill out this form, and we'll enable them on your CourseStorm site.

We'll be continuing to prioritize the development of tools that can help our customers meet today's challenges, so stay tuned for more feature updates!

Be well,

Justin

Greetings,

We hope that you and yours are managing well during this challenging time. We recognize that you''re incredibly busy adapting to the current situation and understand the challenges programs like yours are experiencing.

That''s why we''re sending you this note announcing that we are streamlining registration for online classes.

From the beginning, our mission at CourseStorm has been to streamline access to education. It''s what drives our entire company every day. It''s built-in to our pay-as-you-go business model, the smooth design of our software, and the deliberate decision to focus on lifelong learning.

In our continual effort to expand access to education, today we are announcing yet another way to help programs reach more learners: deeper integration with online classes.

Hello Terry,

If you''re like many educational programs, you''ve likely taken at least part of your programming online. And you (or your instructors) have probably hit the little red record button to capture the session for students to review later.

Did you know those recorded sessions can have a larger impact than you may realize at first? Video is a valuable asset for your program that can be used for marketing, eLearning, and microlearning.

We survey Three Ways to Use Your Recorded Classes to Increase Enrollment in this article on the CourseStorm blog.

I would like to know your thoughts about prerecorded classes and can be reached at outreach@coursestorm.com. Do you love them? Loathe them? Unsure what to do with them? I''d like to hear your thoughts!

Until next time,

Hi Terry,

We know it''s hard to find answers to the big question that nobody expected to ask, "How do I manage my educational program during a pandemic?" And so we''ve created a resource to help, the COVID-19 Recovery Guide: How to manage your educational program during a pandemic.

This guide contains advice on how to manage your education program in this troubled time -from transitioning to online classes to finding financial assistance- so that you''re well-positioned to come out the other side stronger than ever.

We hope you find this guide helpful. As always, we''d be happy to hear your stories, challenges, and questions. You can reach out to us at outreach@coursestorm.com at any time.

Hello Terry,

We're halfway through a transformational year - people from all walks of life have experienced radical changes in their lives, including their work lives.

We've been following the trends and reading about the workforce's changing needs as we start the curve into 2021. If you''ve never thought about workforce as part of your class lineup, we invite you to consider meeting some of the needs we uncovered, from digital literacy to soft skills.

So we''re sharing Nine Types of Workforce Classes Trending Right Now.

The Strada Center for Consumer Insights reports that 65% of surveyed workers expressed interest in education to provide them with more skills in their current career field, support a new career path, or pursue a personal interest. Even if you don''t normally conduct workforce classes, your program could meet one of these nine class needs now!

Until next time,
