Free “Ghastly” Halloween Advertising and Encouraging Cards

Halloween 2020 is going to be weird, isn’t it? Going door to door to trick or treat has been labeled as a “higher risk activity” by the CDC, so parents are struggling to figure out what to let their kids do to celebrate. Kids are disappointed that Halloween this year is not looking the same. Yes kids are resilient, but they are still experiencing great loss with the way things have changed.

But here’s something fun to do for both current students AND to help find new students!

Ghastly Beast Advertising Cards:

One of the less risky activities (labeled moderate risk by the CDC) is to put candy out on your doorstep so that kids can come by and get their treat without a 2-way interaction. If you are able to do that and know kids will be trick or treating in your area, here’s a great idea for marketing your studio!

Download these cards and then you can edit the main text to give information about your studio (plus attach an awesome piece of candy). If you teach lessons online, be sure to mention that. If you teach both online and in person, be sure to mention that as well. There are all kinds of needs and desires that parents have for their kids and piano lessons, so just letting them know about your studio is a great idea in these crazy times. Here’s an example:

Now, this probably goes without saying, but you must tape an amazing piece of candy to this card! Do not skimp and try to be frugal here. Great candy is a part of advertising costs for your studio, so choose the best candy that you know kids love!

Ghastly Beast Encouragement Cards:

As I said in the beginning, kids are resilient, but the changes in Halloween, summer vacations, schooling, and just every day life are a lot for kids to handle. They are under a lot of stress and are experiencing disappointment after disappointment this year.

So even though they might seem like they are doing fine, kids still need to be encouraged. To help with this, we’ve made separate Ghastly Beast Encouragement Cards for your students!

These cards have a different message at the top and you can write (or type) anything you want in the blank space. Write a short separate message to each student or just type a meaningful message that applies to all your kids and print!

It’s a super easy way to validate kids and encourage them during this difficult year!

Let me know how you plan to use these cards in your studio! Leave a comment below to share your ideas with others as well.

And feel free to invite your piano teaching friends to become a part of the ComposeCreate community (there’s no cost or subscription fees) to get their own.
