Sisterhood of the Jazzfeet

Six month ago I join friends who had been telling me just how much they enjoy Jazzercise.  I can see why they enjoy it.  The location I exercise is a huge auditorium in our local church.  On a slow day there may be 20 of us and on busy days there may be 50.  There are several instructors in addition to the owner of this Jazzercise franchise.  They are all friendly and they chatter while we move our bodies to the music.

 

Sometimes it brings back memories of my "disco days".  

 

The general manager of the group had taken this photo of the instructors and gals and I "borrowed" it for this painting.  It goes with my feet series.

 

Hope you enjoy!

Musing about Marketing 101

"White Vase"

8" x  8", Oil on Gallery-wrapped canvas

Last week I signed up and joined a local Jazzercise class.  During the month of March, Jazzercise classes on Fridays were free to try out.  Several of my friends do the Jazzercise and have been telling me how much they enjoy it so when one and then another of my friends asked me to join them for these free classes, I thought it a great opportunity to give it a try.

On one Friday I went to the free class at a location near my house and the following Friday I went to a location a few miles further away. 

I was torn between the two classes, both had enthusiastic instructors, the exercise is basically the same, one location was closer....

When in the mail, a few days after I'd attended the class which was further, I received a Jazzercise postcard.  It was a simple card but it was handwritten by the instructor and she wrote "Dear Judy,  Thank you for trying us out.  I loved having you in class today.  I hope you will join us."

Since it had been in my mind to join some sort of exercise routine, guess which one I joined?  I've not heard a peep out of the other class I attended.

By the way, the instructor who owns the franchise to the class I joined has one of the top ten largest Jazzercise class in the nation.  Can you see why?

This makes me think about my own marketing - a simple thank you - a necessary ingredient in succeeding.
