Should it be in ones own name to market themselves, or the name of the organization?

Which would be the best draw?

Thanks

it depends.

which has the bigger draw?

What is the rep of the organization?

Who is your target audience?

I think the rep of the Tracy organization is good, but these people are goofy here, many have never heard of ED Parker, or Al Tracy, they only know of TKD. Ilive in the sticks, so to speak. This place is only good for Spring Break, when the animals come out from school.

I'm looking for 14 years, on up, only.

Thanks

Not that I know a lot about advertising but, if you don't think the name (ie Tracy Kenpo) is gonna sell your product they you should word your advertisement so that it is heavy on the advantages of training in the martial arts.

ie street awareness, self defence, fitness, disipline etc....

Just my 2cents

Good points.

If your target audience couldn't tell Al Tracy from Al Gore, name based advertizing might not be the way to go. Focus on the benifits or on the positive aspects of your school, without running down the competition.

A sample ad might be :

John Smith, local rep for ABC Organization is now offering
Program X at his school in anywhere.
With program X you will achieve (verifiable results listing)

Call us now to reserve your spot in this limited time offer!



With this, you mention your name and organization and school, but focus on the benifits of the program. Push the benifits, but include the name.

Make sure to include full contact information with the ad, and proof read it repeatedly. It sucks when you discover theres a typo in the phone number....heh.

I personally don't do this. I do know that you should carefully consider it if it's kids. You are providing a picture and name to match. IMO that helps child predators. A list of just names with no indication of age would probably work great.

This would work great with the image of your school and help boost your students morale. Gosh, now I should start thinking about it.
