We live in a digital age. Social media makes a difference to everything; education on the whole, and schools, in particular, are no exceptions. From admissions to events and announcements of all kinds, schools can ensure hassle-free interaction with parents. It is essential for schools to engage their audience with informative content and generate curiosity.
The rapid changes in the digital space bring with them opportunities to create and enhance the institution(s) as a brand. Leveraging social media and evolving a digital marketing strategy is essential to stay relevant in the competitive marketplace.
Getting the Communication Right
Parents employ many methods to evaluate schools and decide if it’s the right place for children to begin their education. One such, and easily the most used means, is social media. A large percentage of parents in urban India are tech-savvy and digital media is an influence in their decision making.
To this end, schools need to get their communication right. There is absolutely zero room for error. Using social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, to talk about the values and approach to education makes for a great start. Following this by developing a platform for consistent interaction will allow parents and schools to build a community that is vital to bring a transformation in the education system.
