Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:
“My spouse and I have been at Arthur Murray for about a month now. I originally got a few lessons as a ‘just because’ gift, but we ended up liking it so much we now come in once a week. Everybody on the staff is warm, welcoming and incredible. All of the other students are always willing to share tips and ensure you know the world really isn’t ending when you miss a step. Best hobby/date night/’treat yo self’ decision I have ever made.” – Andy B.
Not Your Average Dance Studio
We took a few minutes to chat with Nate, the owner of Arthur Murray Dance Studio Salem, to learn a little bit more about his business and how he managed to build such an impressive online reputation.
The first thing we wanted to know is what makes Arthur Murray Dance Studio unique from the many other dance schools and studios in Oregon. Here’s what Nate had to say:
“Arthur Murray has been teaching the world to dance for 107 years this April. We are experts at making learning to dance fast, fun and easy for beginning students, and we’re knowledgeable enough to challenge the most advanced dancers. The keys are our individualized approach to each student’s unique needs and goals and the joy of dancing we get to share with everyone that comes through our door.”
We also asked Nate what their mission is at Arthur Murray Dance Studio Salem and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s his response:
“Our mission is to change lives through dancing. Whether it’s deepening a relationship, getting some exercise, meeting new people or giving people a feeling of artistic expression, we feel that you can learn dance steps a lot of places, or you can let the experience of learning to dance change your outlook on life, which requires a little more.”
Building Success by Exceeding Expectations
Nate credits Arthur Murray Dance Studio Salem’s strong online reputation to his team’s commitment to exceeding the expectations of their students and creating a joyful experience for them:
“People have to feel a strong emotion to take the time out of their day to write a review. If you exceed their expectations and allow them to experience joy in your business, that can be a powerful motivation for them to write a review. Likewise, anger and frustration can be powerful motivators in the other direction.”
Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Arthur Murray Dance Studio Salem has grown by having incredible teachers, by building relationships with other businesses in Salem, including nonprofits, like Liberty House and the Alzheimer’s Association, and through the support of other Arthur Murray Dance Studio franchise owners, specifically Phil and Rebecca Auer, owners in the Portland Metro Area.
There are so many other business owners out there looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Nate’s expert advice for those business owners:
“I would say, you have to pay attention to, and get involved with, social media. Connect all of your social media accounts to your website, and make sure to connect with other local businesses. Second, Make sure your website is nice looking and easy to use. Make it easy to leave a review on social media, on your website and on search engines. People will leave reviews if it’s easy. Most importantly, treat people well.”
Congratulations to the team at Arthur Murray Dance Studio Salem for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Nate, for taking the time to speak with us!
