Teachers are pressured to distribute promotional materials to parents in ways they find intrusive, unethical, and humiliating, with low attendance at open lessons leading to low sign-up rates for school programs.

Existing solutions (flyers, Viber, phone calls) are seen as spammy and ineffective; there is no targeted, non-intrusive way to reach parents with promotional materials based on their interests or attendance.
