Martial Arts Teachers’ Merges with GenerateMoreLeads.com to Provide World-Class Digital Marketing

Tampa Bay, FL – The Martial Arts Teachers’ Association (MATA) has merged GenerateMoreLeads.com (GML) into its marketing services platform for martial arts schools and suppliers.

Since 2003, the Martial Arts Teachers’ Association (MATA) has been the leader in providing martial arts instructors with high-level resources to plan, market, and manage their schools.

MATA is now adding an extensive and professional digital marketing agency by merging GenerateMoreLeads.com (GML) into its service offerings.

Since 2010, GML has serviced mostly mainstream small and medium-sized businesses outside of the martial arts with comprehensive online marketing plans and campaigns.

While MATA and GML have not worked together in the past, they are both owned by MATA Executive Director John Graden. He says, “MATA has always provided the strategies, tools, and tactics for martial arts schools and gyms to market on- or off-line. Essentially, we’d teach school and gym owners how to market and sell their business, but they would then have to execute on the plan. That is both time-consuming and complex.”

That is the opposite of what GML does. According to Graden, “GML actually fulfills the marketing needs for small businesses. It builds business websites and crafts the SEO campaigns, Facebook ads, Google ads, content creation and directory listings for them. So we see this as a perfect fit at the perfect time because the economy is booming. Schools and gyms are clamoring to capitalize on the opportunities unique to online marketing without the headaches of doing it yourself.”

GML’s veteran team of dedicated digital marketing experts is now available to MATA members to provide high-level search engine optimization campaigns, social media ads and content, directory listings, customized PPC campaigns, and website design solutions.

The Easiest Way to Generate Media Coverage in 2019

by John Graden | Jun 3, 2019 | Offline Marketing & Sales

The media is blitzed all day long with people seeking exposure on their platform. One method that will jump you to the top, or at least near it, is to get out in your community and help with a local fundraising effort.

Whether it’s a need of a member’s family or a local charity, your school can contribute funds or hands-on help.

Take photos, write a paragraph or two about the event and fundraising efforts and send it in to your local media list (You do have a list right?).

Send media releases via email to your list prior to the event. Follow up with a phone call. You may even offer to take video and images to send if the reporter can’t make it.

Most of the time, the media will publish the event information, photo, school name, and charity as a part of a local news snippet. These are often used as a way for the media to share a ‘feel-good’ story or fill a slow news day.
