As a dance studio owner, numbers are your business. From class attendance numbers to monthly membership collections, email list growth to new clients, you have numbers flying around just about everywhere you go. It can be easy to get blinded by this overload of information, and difficult to discern how all these different figures work together, and what picture they paint of your business.<\/p>\n

The truth is that there are some numbers that deserve more of your focus than others, and when properly reported they can share actionable insights into your operations that may not be readily apparent when simply tracked on a spreadsheet. These figures, referred to as metrics, are what can help you identify trends, find new opportunities, and improve your business\u2019s performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3 Metrics to Start Paying Attention To <\/b><\/h2>\n

    Leads to Conversions<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you have advertisements on online platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and the like, the first thing that you want to track is how many leads you gain. Leads are individuals who express interest in your dance studio through an online interaction: a like, a click, or a share are just a few ways these individuals are identified.<\/p>\n

    You want to assess the total number of leads you acquire within a particular time period, or from a specific advertising campaign, so you know not only how well your current marketing efforts are faring, but also how much each lead is costing you based on the advertising spend you\u2019ve committed.<\/p>\n

    Next, you want to find the conversion rate of those new leads \u2013 or, in simpler terms, how many of your prospects carried on to subscribe to a service or list, request a phone call, or book an appointment. Now, 100 percent of leads will not convert. In fact, a good conversion rate for Google advertisements is just 2.27 percent on average<\/a>, while a conversion from online searches averages only 4.56 percent. So, if your conversions are above that, you are doing well! If not, it might be time to readjust your strategy.<\/p>\n

      Retention Rates
      \n<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You want long-term members at your dance studio. After all, it is more cost effective to have a long-term member than having to continually pay to acquire more. In the fitness sector, this metric is known as the retention rate benchmark.<\/p>\n

      It is not just <\/i><\/b>about who is there the longest, though. There are multiple different data points within the retention metric that can give you a more specific view of how and when your clients are interacting with your studio. For example, you should concern yourself with:<\/p>\n
