Sizzle With Flyers: Cook Up Enrollment for Your Cooking Classes
Why Flyers Work Wonders for Cooking Classes
Cooking classes thrive on inspiration, community, and hands-on experience. Aspiring chefs often discover new classes through word-of-mouth or a flyer spotted on a café bulletin board—not by scrolling past digital ads.
Flyers bring your kitchen to life in local hotspots. They remind food lovers that your next workshop is just around the corner, promising the thrill of kneading fresh dough or mastering that perfect stir-fry.
So, what is a flyer’s true power for cooking schools? It’s the tangible taste test of your brand—and a call to action students can hold in their hands.
What to Feature on a Cooking Class Flyer
Your flyer must whet appetites at a glance. Aim for clear, mouth-watering visuals and concise copy that highlights the experience.
Key elements include:
Headline: “Master the Art of Sourdough” or “Wok, Sip, and Learn”
Class Details: cuisine type (Italian, vegan, sushi), level (beginner, family-friendly), dates and times
Instructor Credentials: chef background, certifications, notable collaborations
Offer: “10% off with this flyer” or “Free wine pairing for early birds”
CTA: “Scan to reserve your spot”, “Call to book”, or “Bring this flyer to class for a bonus!”
