Trial & upcoming courses
Let newcomers try a course first, and promote courses that are coming soon.
Let newcomers try a lesson
Mark lessons as free so visitors can taste the course before buying. They see the teaching style, the lesson format and the level of the material. This helps learners and parents make an informed choice, and it reduces refunds from people who picked the wrong course.
Announce courses early
Show courses that open later, with their start date, to build interest. Learners can plan their study around what is coming next. Schools can also gauge demand early and prepare teachers, rooms and material before the course actually opens, so the first week runs smoothly for everyone.
Tell people when it opens
Interested learners are reminded as soon as the course starts. They do not have to keep checking the site for updates. The reminder brings them straight back to the course page, so the first lessons start with learners who are ready, interested and waiting to begin.
