Hmmmmmmm! You are absolutely correct! If I do a search using "Rollerblade" coupled with skate instructor, skate instruction, skate school etc., my site...
I still have not had a single referral through IISA this year. In the past it provided enough buisiness that I didn't have to do any promotion myself. As...

Here is my take on the drop in lessons. I have been teaching for 15 years. (and on ice for 20). Right now, the ice and in-line industries are down. People...
Thanks for your input Allan. If I were to give my first lesson free, I would have to give up teaching skating, as this is 90% of my business. In the past 5...
