ADVANCE YOUR SCHOOL

Our systems provide ongoing education, training and support for:

  • Admissions
  • Regulatory
  • Team Development
  • Student Clinic Services & Retail

ADMISSIONS

Technology has changed the admissions process dramatically over the last ten years. Gen X to Gen Z prospects are the most brand-aware and technologically savvy generations in history! As a result, how we reach and communicate with them is a constantly moving target. What works? What competitive advantages are there to be had? How can a standalone school compete against globally recognized product brands that are leveraging their technology budget across dozens of locations? SPEC admissions systems address all of these questions.

REGULATORY

What do you think of when you read the following list? Title IV Funding, Campus Security, Cost of Attendance, Placement Rate Methodology, Net Price Calculator, Re-Accreditation, Title IX Reporting, Student Record Keeping and Cohort Default. Like many school owners, you are likely thinking about how overwhelming the accreditation and federal financial aid landscape has become.

SOCIAL MEDIA

ATICA provides marketing and creative support that drives your online presence through design, video, gifs, how-to guides, and ongoing training.

PROMO

ATICA provides print and digital support to drive guests to the student clinic for great service and retail promotions, while delivering clients for students to practice their craft.

WHY ATICA?

SUPPLY & DEMAND

  • LIMITED SUPPLY OF SCHOOLS: Identifiable factors constrain new market entrants.
  • SERVING A LARGE END MARKET: The $50+ billion dollar salon/spa market continues to grow.
  • STRONG, RENEWING DEMAND FOR GRADS: Job openings outpace qualified candidates to fill them.

BARRIERS TO ENTRY

  • PRESSURE ON INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS: Many have exited the industry due to a difficult recruiting and regulatory environment.
  • REAL BARRIERS TO ENTRY: In addition to recruiting and regulatory, the capital required to open a school is a significant barrier to entry.

MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS

  • TUITION: Payments in full, payment plans, and/or disbursements through federal aid once Title IV is achieved.
  • SERVICES: Salon and Spa services from paying guests in the student clinic.
  • RETAIL: Beauty-related retail items available for purchase by guests in conjunction with services provided by students.

A PROVEN APPROACH

  • SYSTEMS: A robust approach to all functions within a school, including tools, templates, and processes that cover virtually every aspect of the business.
  • TRAINING: Education is at the heart of everything we do – ATICA provides ongoing training to support the best practices in running a school.
  • MARKETING: Industry-leading digital and print support through promotions, campaigns, print materials, social media, video and more to help owners grow their schools.
