Digital Marketing: tools, techniques and strategies – Caroline Moore
Digital Marketing: tools, techniques and strategies
This training programme will explore the essential digital marketing tools that directors, marketing managers and school owners need to promote their schools to prospective students and intermediaries. Participants will work in groups to develop marketing action plans based on an existing template, that they can share and complete with colleagues in their own schools.
The training programme will be directly relevant to each individual context as participants will be encouraged to examine their current marketing resources and tools including brochures, websites, student registration systems, questionnaires, social media and all other interactions with current, past and prospective students.
The programme will cover the following areas:
- marketing fundamentals & changing trends
- Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B) marketing
- mobile interaction
- targeting markets
- market data, tracking interactions (& privacy issues around this)
- websites, social media, user reviews, customer relationship management (CRM) systems
- end-to-end relationship marketing (students, agents, teachers…)
- marketing on limited budgets
- evaluating success, tools and metrics, including the Net Promoter Score (NPS)
The training programme will conclude with participant presentations of their marketing action plans, and discussion of options for further action and CPD in marketing and related areas. By the end of the programme, participants will have a clearer understanding of the tools available for improving their current digital marketing plans as well as having developed a strategy for its’ development.
