Other CFI's currently marketing?

He had one of those colorful vinyl see-through
| appliqués designed for the back window of
his Blazer (like you see on city
buses), screaming "LEARN TO FLY HERE!"

Hmmm. Might look a little funny on my BMW.


Change it to read 'I learned to fly here. How about you?"

well.. if it's my brothers racing BMW.. he does fly rather low... it would
work..

Actually, it looks odd on his Blazer, too.

But it sure catches your eye -- which, after all, is the whole idea.

I thought the same thing.

Wonder what his "customer survey" research tells him?

He's sounds like he's too busy teaching people to fly to actually do
advertising research. :-)

Share your tips and findings please =)

If I were interested in having a full instruction schedule, I don't
think it would be hard at all. The instructors I see who struggle to
get students generally don't do the basics

1) Show enthusiasm. Practice smiling and glowing when you talk about
flying airplanes. ...

I agree with everything you say as far as getting students.

As far as keeping them, I think the "basics" are, to provide
a good service and to make sure the customer knows what value
they're getting.

From the flight school perspective, this means the student goes
home from each lesson knowing what they've accomplished, what
they still have to work on, and what will be covered next. And
if an enthusiastic student cancels a couple lessons and doesn't
reschedule, make a phone call to find out what's up and if there's
a problem which could be resolved. Maybe it's a plane scheduling
issue or a CFI compatibility issue. But this kind of follow up
just rarely happens.

I think too many students get discouraged because after the first
few hours where everything is new and progress is rapid, they hit
a plateau where they're struggling and it's not clear exactly what's
been accomplished each lesson and exactly what the CFI wants to see
before the next step.

FWIW,

or, "After learning to fly, I could afford this. Ask me how you can
learn."

Truth in advertising would change it to "Now that I fly, I can no longer afford
this. Ask me why."
