| Abstract (English): | This article delves into effective marketing strategies for martial arts schools, with a focus on insights from three successful taekwondo academies in the United States. The information was gathered through interviews with the founders of these schools, followed by an analysis of their strategies using the key marketing principles of STP (Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning). In this context, successful taekwondo academies are often strategically situated in urban and suburban areas with high foot traffic, fostering strong community engagement and attracting children from middle- and upper-class families who seek discipline as well as family-oriented programs. To enhance enrollment and retention, these schools implement targeted marketing strategies, including premium brand image, social media outreach, and specialized programs that emphasize personal growth, skill development, with a strong emphasis on Asian cultural elements and tradition. By examining these real-world examples, martial arts schools of any style or location may gain practical lessons for attracting and retaining students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Este artículo profundiza en las estrategias de marketing eficaces para las escuelas de artes marciales, sobre la base de las ideas de tres academias de taekwondo exitosas en los Estados Unidos. La información se recopiló a través de entrevistas con los fundadores de estas escuelas, seguidas de un análisis de sus estrategias utilizando los principios clave de marketing de STP (segmentación, orientación y posicionamiento). En este contexto, las academias de taekwondo exitosas suelen situarse estratégicamente en zonas urbanas y suburbanas con mucho tránsito peatonal, lo que fomenta una fuerte implicación de la comunidad, y atraen a niños de familias de clase media y alta que buscan disciplina y programas orientados a la familia. Para mejorar la matriculación y la retención, estas escuelas implementan estrategias de marketing específicas, que incluyen una imagen de marca premium, la difusión en las redes sociales y en programas especializados, que hacen hincapié en el crecimiento personal y en el desarrollo de habilidades, con un fuerte énfasis en los elementos culturales y en la tradición asiática. Al examinar estos ejemplos del mundo real, las escuelas de artes marciales de cualquier estilo o ubicación pueden aprender lecciones prácticas para atraer y retener a los estudiantes.
