Your feedback is valuable to us

In the coming weeks you will be receiving a survey which we would very much like you to complete as it will provide us with valuable insight in your marketing needs.

The survey, which is specific to marketing will allow us to assess what areas of your business you need additional support in.

As always, we welcome your feedback and encourage you to complete the survey as it provides us with a national picture of franchisee's needs and allows us to offer additional support in the most important areas.

The parents had some great comments too!

"My 5yr old attended a few courses over the summer. He loved them all! A nice touch is at the end when they receive a certificate medal etc. My son loved receiving his medal. He is very proud of it!!"

"I think the sports clubs are brilliant, my daughter loves going. The staff are brilliant with the kids, I tell everyone how good it is."

"My children loved their time at the sports course; the staff were really approachable and friendly and extremely enthusiastic in their roles. My boys loved Dan, Zoe and Michael. Will definitely be booking in the October half term. Thanks."

"This was the first time I had used the sport course and I will be using it again. My little girl had a great time and it really was good value for money. Thank you to you and the coaches."

"It's the best club around. My 7 year old son always comes away saying he's had a great time."

In total over 350 parents from across the network fed back their positive and (in minority) negative comments. Ops Director Danny Melling will be contacting franchisees individually to discuss these comments.

Well done to you and your coaches for providing an excellent service to children and parents.

We want to hear your success stories!

A few months ago we highlighted the importance of PR and the impact it can have on your business. Whilst we've had a few stories filter through, we've not had nearly as many good stories as we were expecting. Therefore to encourage and increase the flow of news from across the network, we will be incentivising franchisees to send through their great news stories.

Each term the franchisees that provide the top three news stories will receive £100, £50 and £25 worth of vouchers to be used on the online store. The news will be measured by analytics, Facebook likes, re-tweets and newspaper coverage.

To submit your stories please email [email protected]


Holiday literature printing dates

The new themed holiday literature and printing schedule was utilised by a number of franchisees from the network and the first of two deadlines for Christmas literature is next week. Please get your orders in sooner rather than later via the online store.


COMPASS

We were recently commissioned by Compass to provide a communications and membership engagement strategy to support and raise the profile of Compass and its members. This document has now been submitted and is awaiting sign off from the board. Once we receive feedback, we will communicate the outcomes, impact and benefits this will have on your businesses.
