Money Move 6 of 9

Fill the right under-capacity classes and programs

Use real attendance and schedule data to find healthy growth opportunities without crowding already-busy classes.

The outcome

Promotion focuses on programs that can safely welcome more students.

Evidence to review

  • Average attendance compared with configured capacity
  • Program, age group, instructor, day, and time
  • Waitlists, safety constraints, mat space, and staffing requirements

Run the move

  1. 1Confirm that a low count represents available capacity rather than a scheduling or program problem.
  2. 2Choose one class or program to feature this month.
  3. 3Match the offer and audience to the program instead of discounting indiscriminately.
  4. 4Monitor new attendance without exceeding safe capacity.

Monthly scorecard

  • Average occupancy by class
  • New trials attributed to the selected program
  • Capacity or staffing issues discovered

What should and should not be automated

Software can calculate utilization. The school decides safe capacity, appropriate audience, and whether the schedule itself should change.
