POPULARITY
What do your customers really think about you? What do they appreciate most about you and your studio? Is it customer service? Is it the quality of the music lesson? Is it the musical standards your studio upholds? Los Rios Rock School asked their customers "What do you like most about LRRS?" and recorded their answers in a 2-minute video. The parents at LRRS give us all a little insight into how parents think and what hopes they have for their children. Their answers to this question will provide you the language you can use in your marketing. www.davesimonsmusic.com
