What You Need to Do to Tell Your Stories
For these stories to find the hearts of your target market, you are going to need three primary marketing initiatives:
An Optimized and Responsive Website
Your website will be your first impression for most of your prospects. Does it communicate who you really are? Does it tell a story you’re proud to share? Is it easy to use from a mobile device?
There are a few lessons to be learned from successful and failed websites. Your website should clearly communicate what you want people need to know when it comes time to make a decision.
However, how these facts are positioned on the site is not nearly as important as to how the site is positioned in the search engines. If you’re not in the first few results on Google for your local market, then investing in SEO is something that needs to happen immediately. As a local private school, you want to rank well for the surrounding area. What’s the farthest a family drives to be a part of your school? Make that your radius, and optimize for that geographical area.
If you need assistance with a responsive website or with search engine optimization, Blueprint specializes in private education marketing.
Consistent Content Marketing
Once you have your site responsive and optimized, think about what kind of content brings prospects into the consideration stage of choosing you as the best option. For the most part, you are only going to compete with a handful of other local private education options.
Are you doing any comparison studies, charts, or infographics? An agency like Blueprint can help you make a solid content marketing schedule and production plan. Innovative methods like these enrich the prospect’s online experience and will better position you as the best top option.
Social Media Management & Email Marketing
As far as channel management goes, private education marketing requires top notch social media management and email marketing. Simply posting to Facebook or sending a monthly newsletter is not enough.
True lead generation and enrollment production will only come by investing in paid social media advertising and sequential email marketing automation. Platforms like Infusionsoft or Hubspot help power these marketing tactics, but working with Blueprint to build the protocol for this is the best use of your time and budget.
