THE FACES OF ISI ANGELA TOOLEY
ISI PROUD
“I have been an ISI member over 25 years, with Michael Booker as one of my first coaches.
It is great for beginners as well as serious skaters, and it’s encouraging to everyone who participates!
The addition of ribbon, hoop and Bronze, Silver and Gold events has included many more skaters in shows and competitions ...”

June Marketing Tip
In light of National Safety Month in June, why not promote ice skating classes that teach skaters how to fall properly on the ice? Spread the word about ways to reduce injuries while skating, and at the same time promote your learn-to-skate program. Here’s an example of how you can craft your social media marketing to take advantage of National Safety Month:
SAMPLE SOCIAL MEDIA POST It’s National Safety Month!
The not-so-fun part about ice skating is that falling is inevitable. Sign up for our learn-to-skate classes and we’ll teach you the proper way to fall to lessen injury. Visit [your rink website].
[Don’t forget to use a photo that will entice viewers to read your post! In this instance, a skater falling on the ice.]
