Professional Bartender Training Academy
The Professional Bartender Training Academy offers hands-on, in-person training for aspiring bartenders looking to build skills and confidence. Unlike competitors that focus solely on quick online certifications, the academy provides immersive, practical classes that prepare students for real-world bartending jobs. Traveling from city to city, the academy offers three-week intensive courses designed to provide both expertise and certification in an engaging learning environment.
The Challenge
Professional Bartender Training Academy came to us seeking a fresh start to their marketing as they planned a new wave of classes offered in 2025. They faced several hurdles in attracting new students, including that they did not have a website or social media presence. Additionally, their advertising efforts were underdeveloped, with a strategy in place for targeting potential students through paid advertising but no platform to send users to. With classes starting just two months after they came to us, they needed an effective and scalable method for attracting and signing up students.
The Solution
To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive strategy focused on enhancing conversions and boosting event signups through a website redesign, targeted Google Ads campaign, and an engaging social media marketing strategy.
Website Creation & Conversion Optimization
We crafted the academy’s website to create a modern, user-friendly platform designed to drive signups. The new site emphasized clear, easy navigation with prominent calls-to-action on every page, encouraging visitors to sign up for classes. We highlighted the academy’s unique selling points, such as hands-on experience, industry-expert instructors, and the confidence-building aspect of their training. The site was also optimized for mobile devices, ensuring a seamless experience for users on all platforms. We incorporated a streamlined event registration system to simplify the signup process and increase conversions.
Targeted PPC Ads Campaign
To further boost signups, we launched a targeted pay-per-click (PPC) ads campaign designed to reach individuals actively searching for bartending courses. Our strategy included thorough keyword research to ensure we were reaching the right audience. We crafted compelling ad copy that emphasized the academy’s hands-on approach and practical experience, distinguishing them from competitors offering purely online certifications. The ads were optimized for high-performing search terms, and we implemented conversion tracking to continually refine and improve the campaign’s effectiveness.
Social Media Marketing Strategy
We developed a robust social media marketing strategy to increase brand awareness and engage with potential students across various platforms. Our approach included creating eye-catching visual content and informative posts that highlighted the benefits of hands-on bartending training. We regularly share bartending tips and event sign-ups to foster community engagement.
The Results
The combined impact of the website redesign, Google Ads campaign, and social media marketing have led to significant improvements for the Professional Bartender Training Academy. Through a cohesive and strategic balance in web design, social media, and PPC ads, they are on track for improved enrollment numbers and an upcoming expansion to more cities later this year.
Our strategic marketing efforts have significantly enhanced the Professional Bartender Training Academy’s ability to attract and convert prospective students. This case study highlights how a focus on user experience, combined with a well-executed paid advertising and social media strategy, can drive measurable results and fuel business growth.
