Don't miss out on registering for the largest conference in lifelong learning. A conference and information you don't want to miss!

“As you step...” is a great opening line because it has motion, a ‘you’ verb, and emotion. These are three important characteristics of a course description that generates more enrollments. Don’t miss a new session, “Writing Course Descriptions,” at the LERN Annual Conference.

Are your course descriptions causing you to lose registrations? Burnaby Community & Continuing Education is using a great course description opening line in their Fall brochure, “As you step…” See tomorrow’s post explaining why this opening line could be your golden ticket.

The Future of Email Promotions Every program will be getting customers and prospects to sign up for emails by Interest Area. For more, see our session at the LERN Annual Conference. Nov 13-16, 2023. Online. lern.org/conference Here’s an example from Kim Beranek
