Marketing Strategy for Schools

In this low touch economy, schools had to quickly adjust, with those prepared more successful than others. A common misconception is looking at marketing as a magic wand without understanding its pre requisites. Unless the foundations of schools have been crafted solidly, no amount of marketing “quick fix” can sell a bad product, in fact, it will even accelerate its demise. Josiah Go, the most awarded business educator in the Philippines and co-author of the best-selling book “Principles and Practices of Marketing in the Philippine Setting” shares cases of innovative schools that clearly stood out, cites dislikes and wish list from students and alumni while working on school marketing projects and recommends what schools can do to improve its brand equity.

In this low touch economy, schools had to quickly adjust, with those prepared more successful than others. A common misconception is looking at marketing as a magic wand without understanding its pre requisites.

(Disclosure: This course is not about marketing tactics like how to do website, Facebook or search engine, but about the strategy of being relevant and crafting key differentiation that matters. It is also not about benchmarking to operate the same way as other schools but to stand out and be different in the school market. Highly recommended to school officials in charge of strategy or with enrollment or bottom line responsibility.)
