As Mary Poppins so famously said, “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.†However we don’t always do what is necessarily good for us, even if the benefits are worthwhile. Which is generally why even though learning skills related to your protection is often worthwhile, it can sometimes be hard to get community members to take part in a self defense class. Adding a spoonful of sugar might make it a little more attractive.
Attracting the Community for a Self Defense Class
Community classes targeted at a specific segment of the population are often more successful because you can tailor information for specific individuals. You may find that many groups are interested in information pertaining to weapons, for instance self defense Tazer use or self defense stun gun use. Other groups may be interested in tips, tactics, or physical force for when it comes to their self defense.
Furthermore some groups may be more comfortable in a self defense class that had their peers present. For example a group of older women may take part in an informational class that was targeted at women in particular.
Focusing on a certain audience also facilitates marketing. A dessert potluck self defense meeting or get-together can be the perfect marketing strategy for a church community group.
Dessert Potluck for Self Defense Training
The objective of a potluck meeting is easy to understand: interested community members bring a dessert of their choosing to either share before or after the class, or even during; in this instance during a self defense seminar. Choosing a food such as desserts makes the evening fun and inspires cooks more than perhaps a side dish potluck.
While attendees are not required to bring a dish, calling and asking key members of the community to contribute ensures that at least those people will be attending. By having an assignment, it means that an individual cancelling at the last moment is very unlikely]. Desserts, also, don’t often require a lot of paper goods as people tend to bring finger food desserts to a potluck setting simplifying the whole affair.
Supplying a crucial community service, plus serving plenty of treats makes a successful evening, while assisting to make the neighborhood a safer place.
