PPA's Studio Management Services (SMS) is the authority on business education. With over 7 years of experience helping thousands of studios just like yours, SMS knows how to help you become financially stronger and more profitable.
If you’re a PPA member with an established studio grossing at least $50,000 in annual sales, then the Business Breakthroughs workshop is designed just for you. (If you’re not quite there yet, the Business Basics workshop can get you growing.)
Three days of immersive instruction occur in locations across the country. You will focus on business and financial management, the how-to's of effective branding, targeting, and marketing, and techniques for maximizing sales.
PPA acknowledges the unique needs of your studio and our knowledgeable experts will connect with you on an individual basis, on the phone and in-person. A phone session with a PPA accountant will result in a custom financial plan recommendation, and you’ll engage in an hour-long private consultation with an SMS mentor and accountant to scope your business and marketing strategy.
It's your chance to address your most pressing issues and areas of concern, get questions answered, develop priorities, and identify actions to launch your business to the next level.
