Marketing To The Education Sector

Australia’s onshore international education sector is forecast to grow from 650,000 enrolments today to 940,000 by 2025.
China is set to remain Australia’s largest source market for onshore education enrolments in 2025.
In 2016, 41 per cent of Australian 19-year-olds were enrolled in higher education institutions.
Australia’s universities should be planning to accommodate further growth in numbers of domestic student enrolments, in view of the projected 25% growthof the 18-24 years old population over the next 20 years

The Education sector has undergone noteworthy modification over the past five years. Higher education and coaching establishments, as well as upper education organisations have all been impacted by the shift towards demand-driven funding models. In spite of these changes, industry revenue is expected to grow 4.5 per cent over the next five years.

In a growing and competitive market, it is crucial to have an informed and experienced B2B marketing team at your side to help you turn your business challenges into marketing solutions.

We’ve worked with a number of education establishments and have implemented comprehensive education marketing strategies for the following:

Higher Education Marketing
Secondary School Marketing
Online Training Institutions

At The Lead Agency, we understand the B2B marketing and communications challenges that Education institutions face. We know that you have a broad target audience that can be segmented in many ways – from prospective students and their parents, to the media and internal staff within your organisation.

Tactical upsell and cross-sell strategies that build a strong and effective referral culture with your customers;

What We Can Offer Your Tertiary Or Secondary Institution Through Education Marketing

The Lead Agency has over 20 years experience in B2B marketing strategies and lead generation campaigns. We have significant experience working throughout the education sector, on a range of campaigns for a number of establishments.

In the Education sector, B2B marketing activities fall into either one of four categories:

Attracting new customers;
Selling more to your existing customers;
Cross-selling other services to your existing customers; or
Finding new customers in complementary markets.

As a leading Melbourne B2B marketing agency, our marketing efforts align with one or more strategies that you want to focus on.

At The Lead Agency we specialise in lead generation and quality B2B marketing for education institutions. The long lead times associated with B2B marketing are very similar to the purchasing journey of a prospective student, with multiple individuals being part of the final purchase decision. Our multi-channel strategies take this into account to target the range of influencers that impact the final decision maker.

Higher Education Marketing

Choosing a higher education establishment to attend is one of the biggest decisions that a student will make in their life. They know how crucial it is to get this decision right, and will research a number of alternatives to find the facility that best suits their needs. Higher Education establishments have to ensure they are communicating all the necessary information to prospective students in a way that engages them and entices them to find out more. This can be done through higher education marketing. The Lead Agency’s higher education marketing techniques are scalable to any size organisation, whether you are a University, College, Training Institution or Vocational School.

Secondary School Marketing

High schools are the last touch point for students before they enter the wider world as independent adults. As such, building strong relationships within the community and wider business sector is vital. At The Lead Agency we know how to position your Secondary School as a strong brand in the community.

Online Training Institutions

Online enrolments have been growing substantially faster than overall higher education enrolments for the past several years, and this is showing no signs of slowing down. However, as this demand is growing, so is the competition. If you are an online university or college, or offer online courses, it is vital to communicate your point of difference so that you can stand out in a crowded online market. We know how to maintain effective lead generation, lead nurturing and B2B marketing activities that get results for your establishment.

3 Things All Education Marketing Strategies Need

1. A Mobile Optimised Strategy

Nowadays, the average consumer spends over 5 hours a day on their smartphone. This amount increases for younger audiences, such as teenagers and younger adults, who would be looking for education services. As a result, more Internet traffic is coming from smartphones than from any other device, which means that it is necessary for any digital assets (such as the website) to be optimised for mobile.

Another key thing to pay attention to is where the target market is spending their time online. As the education market typically targets high school and university transfer students, campaigns that focus on social media can be an effective way of communicating with them.

2. An Effective SEO Campaign

When it comes to important, high-involvement purchases, such as education, 81% of people will perform some online research before making a purchase. It’s important to be findable when someone in the target audience starts to consider their higher education options. This can be done with an SEO campaign to ensure your site ranks well on search engine results pages. In order to effectively market an education establishment in using SEO, specific keywords and phrases should be used on the website that match what students are searching for.

3. Offer 360° Online Tours

360° online tours are particularly effective for universities and boarding schools because many students may find it difficult to take time out of their work or current studies to travel to an education provider, particularly if it is far from their home. Creating a 360° online tour, gives them a feel for what the establishment is like, without them having to travel to it; saving them time and effort, while still giving them the opportunity to look. Currently, not many education providers have fully committed to this strategy as of yet, so those that are fast moving may gain an edge over their competitors.
