How it works in a martial arts or dance school

Six moments that keep families in the loop

Each message goes out by text and/or email, whichever your families prefer, and every reply lands in one inbox.

Snow day Group messages

Closures to everyone at once

One message tells every family that classes are canceled, before anyone gets in the car.

All classes are canceled today because of the snow. Stay safe!

Belt test week Group messages

The right families, every time

Message just the Tuesday Little Dragons about testing, or just the advanced team about a tournament.

Advanced team: tournament forms are due Friday.

Turned ours in today!

Every class Loyalty rewards

Every class counts toward a patch, a T-shirt or a free private lesson.

Questions martial arts and dance schools ask

Do families need to download an app?

No. Messages arrive by text and/or email. Families can also log in to your page at thanku.deals with a one-time code to see their rewards and class news. There’s no app and no password.

Can both parents get the messages?

Yes. Add each parent and put them both in the class group, and they’ll each get every message.

Can we message one class at a time?

Yes. Put families in groups by class, level or age, and message one group or everyone.

What does texting cost?

Growth and Pro include 1,000 texts a month for each location (500 during the free trial); more are 2¢ each. Starter doesn’t include texting. A text longer than 160 characters counts as 2 or more, the way phone carriers bill it. Email is included in every plan.
