Free Publicity
Want some free publicity for your heavy equipment operator program? The simulators are an excellent hook. Plan a special event or “day” where you can host a tour of your facility and include the simulators. The technology angle is going to grab peoples’ attention and make them want to attend.
- Invite local press—news stations and the newspapers.
- Invite local dignitaries to show how advanced your school or company is.
- Call your Chamber of Commerce to make them aware of your program so they can help promote it when talking to other businesses.
Make sure you stay connected with the media so you know when your segment is live. Link it and post on all of your social media platforms as well as your website. Be sure to share the coverage and links with us here at Cat® Simulators. We will do our part to continue to promote. In addition, have internal media students, or someone on staff, videotape the event. Use that footage as well to create more posts and add to your website. Make it easy for people to find the video by posting on the pages that feature your operator training program. Toot your own horn and you’ll reach many new fans (aka potential new students)!

If you are looking for skilled operators, you can develop your own workforce with Cat® Simulators and SimScholars companion curriculum. Find out more about the curriculum today.
