Youth Glide Promo Package in action
- 1.Arrange a presentation at your local school. "Our youth student Anja Runge presented the Youth Glide Video and the associated Presentation to a Kuranui College Assembly (resource available on the Youth Glide website or download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eM3jSlXp5fIh1BKUK-bXAaQy2aQ7um8J )
- 2."Following the Presentation we made available to those who were interested a brief 'I am interested in learning more about gliding ‘ application form, with the incentive of a free gliding experience to whoever best answered the question ‘ Why do I want to fly ? ” The gliding experience was our standard 'One day Introduction to Gliding Course' http://soar.co.nz/index.php/learn-to-fly/ which is our main and most effective ( about a 50% conversion rate) recruiting Trial Flight tool."
- 3."The assembly audience was about 400, of which 20 took a form . We allowed a two week return time following which we had 6 satisfactorily completed entries."
- 4.Joshua’s submission was the best : "I wanted to be a commercial pilot but now I would like to do it because of the view and excitement I will get when flying"
- 5."We, being Kuranui and ourselves, arranged a presentation to Joshua plus the other 5 entrants and had the local newspaper attend. The 5 other entrants were given a heavily discounted one trial flight voucher."
- 6."The Newspaper ran the article following which we received a request from Chanel College in Masterton for a similar Presentation. Wether a consequence of the article or not we are also receiving about 1 or 2 enquiries per month from local parents re gliding opportunities."
- 7."We presently have 5 Youth Members attending our Sunday Rain or Shine To Solo Flying School and whilst we will make room for Joshua if he decides to proceed we are otherwise full until we can kick off a new intake in Dec."
