Mobilize an Army of Students for Your Marketing Channel

Are you constrained by tight budgets?

Are your marketing channels inadequate?

Have you ever thought about the power students have to implement a marketing program?

Students are great source of getting your marketing plan into action. Not only are they enthusiastic, they are diligent, creative and resourceful. You may wonder if this concept would be favored by educators and schools. This idea provides students with an opportunity to learn how ‘real world’ planning and implementation takes place. Given the opportunity they get to learn and the exposure they obtain to potential employers is a strong point that gains a positive vote from school administrations.

Like using any other channel strategy, you need to make a plan. 

• You need make a plan and select schools that are best suited to build the program
• You need to assign a teacher to handle day-to-day operation of the program
• You need to set aside dollars for your student ‘agency’ to manage and include rewards as a part of the budget.
• You need to spend time to discus and guide your student agency to support their efforts in implementing the plan.

While using a student group to create, manage and implement your marketing plan, there are few aspects that need to be kept in mind:

• Give yourself at least six months to draft a plan and select the best suited schools.
• Set aside at a month to communicate your concept to schools you plan on working with. It is important that you have strong support from teachers and administrators.
• Ensure the teacher assigned to manage your program is committed and is driven to ensure a successful outcome.
• Keep your student agency in the loop from the beginning. Treat them as you treat a professional agency. 
• During implementation, it will be productive to measure the performance of the student agency and provide constructive feedback and guidance to help them perform better.
• Make sure to acknowledge and reward students and teachers who are actively involved and providing positive results.
• Get your management involved to reward participants with recognition letters and certificates.

By keeping these aspects in mind, it is possible to utilize a group of students to implement your marketing plan. The end result is that, in a few hundred dollars and little time on management, you have a rocking plan and an effective and low-cost marketing channel.

How to Implement Pilot Products to Drive Referral K-12 Sales

Introducing a product in the education market is a challenge, especially with tight budgets and changing landscape in the education industry. 

• So, how do you ensure your pilot product is accepted? 
• How do you ensure it is suitable for a school or district?
• How do you ensure you achieve satisfaction, loyalty and referrals?

These challenges were discussed by Glen McCandless on BlogTalkRadio with Farimah Schuerman and Mitch Weisburgh, Partners in Academic Business Advisors.

1. What Preparations are required before launching a product?

• The product has to be ready to use and implement. The company has to be confident that the product will work, is safe and effective.
• A defined market penetration plan needs to be prepared. Before launching a product, a defined plan should be set as to which market you would like to target. Those schools need to be selected which will have a good impact from implementation of your product or service. You need to consider whether the school is stable and if the district is functional to avoid challenges in the future. Selection could also be done based on geography and profile of schools suitable to your products or service.

There are 2 types of pilot products:

a. A start up pilot product – This kind of product implementation s is usually in the early adoptive stage and is accepted by schools willing to take the risk of implementing a new product. When launching a product at such a stage, it is important to set expectations in the beginning and provide strong service and support. At this time, it’s not about profits, its more about gaining satisfaction, building loyalty and gaining referrals.

b. A trial product – Many schools / districts like to try out product before completely adopting or implementing it. At this stage it best to align product implementation with the school.

2. How is social media used to leverage successful pilot launches

In order for a product launch to be successful, what needs to be done is to:

• Understand the problem
• Identify the implications of the problem
• Get to know what the school did before your product / service was introduced
• How your product solved or will solve the problem
• What were the results – whether in terms of student achievement, teacher performance or cost savings

Once you find this information, you can create a story that can be shared in the market place through social media channels. This will help in showcasing how your products / service benefited the school and the problem that it solved. This success story can be distributed across channels through your website, blog, twitter or through video testimonials.

An important aspect to consider is that social media activity in a company should not be considered as a marketing task. Instead it should be assigned to someone who need not necessarily be a marketing person, it could be someone who is just comfortable using social channels. This will help in making social media interaction natural and not as forced communication.

With too many pilot products being introduced and implemented, companies need to ensure they are prepared, that they have defined goals, set expectations, relevant selection criteria and reliable service and support. This will help them establish a strong relationship with schools and districts, and will help in creating loyalty, referrals and sales.

Even been to a school bake sale lately?

These enthusiast groups of parents play more than just a role of distributing cookies. They now are strong influencers in the decisions schools make and in the development of education marketing plans.

• Most of 80,000+ K-8 schools in the US have a parent group in form or the other.
• 77% of these K-8 groups are independent PTOs working at schools their kids are enrolled in.
• Approximately $2 billion is amount they generate yearly mainly from fundraising events, donations and auctions at schools. 
• And this $2 billion is spent on school equipment, curriculum material and education software. 

This is a huge opportunity for education marketers and connecting with this group influencers in the education market is as important as targeting administrators and educators.

So, How to Sell to PTAs and PTOs?

When selling to PTAs and PTOs, marketers need to have a slightly different approach.

• The product should be lower priced than those sold to school administrations.
• There should be a commitment to providing support in order to make selling easier and profitable.
• The products should be designed such that it’s easily consumable and is made for frequent purchase.

The important aspect in selling to PTS and PTOs is to address a pain-point and provide a solution. Marketers can easily generate sales from schools provided they have a relevant products and a well defined marketing and support plan.

Like any other sector, the education industry is also driven by social media. And those marketers not in the network are surely missing out on opportunities to engage and connect with education thought leaders and decisions makers.

In a recent discussion between Glen McCandless, Founder and President of Focus Marketing and Charlene Blohm, Founder & President, C. Blohm & Associates, they discussed social media channels used by educators and how educators can join these networks to connect with thought leaders in the education industry.

Here are the key takeaways:

As the use of social media by educators and school administrators continues to increase, marketers need to be up to date and present at the right place and right time in order to be heard. They need to use the power of social media to connect with and engage their target market relevantly.

Is Technology Replacing Teachers, Or Enhancing Education?

Many people categorize the education industry in the non-profit sector. However that’s not the reality. 

The K-12 space has had ‘for profit’ organizations or institutions from the beginning. Whether it was the people who built schools, the textbook publishers or the people for supplied the infrastructure. So, it shouldn’t come by surprise when marketers today talk about education investment in areas such as eLearning or new software and hardware technology that will enhance the learning experience.

More than the perceiving education institutions as for profit or non-profit, what is more important is to understand the value new technology brings to advance the educational experience. A helpful way to market education marketing products is know how technology is used and perceived in schools.

• Use of Technology Just Because It’s There – Many K-12 schools use technology just because its present in the room. It’s used mainly as an add-on and has no particular impact on the learning experience.
• Use of Technology to Do Old Things - Many teachers and students now use technology to do old things such as writing, presenting and finding information. For instance, instead of writing, students now use Word Processors; instead of presenting on chalk boards, teachers use LCD projectors; and instead of searching for information in encyclopedias, they browse the Internet.
• Use of Technology to Do New Things – Schools are realizing that education technology provide endless possibilities in enabling new ways of learning. For instance, students with new communication technologies can learn from people anywhere in the world, making it a seamless platform for knowledge-exchange. Students can choose what learning and information they wish to get, making it more relevant and meaningful to their journey of learning and development. 

Technology is fairly accepted among schools today. It is not stigmatized as a replacement for teachers; instead it’s considered to be a tool that provides a nurturing eco-system to enable new ways of learning, growth and development of students, teachers and the whole schooling system.

Strategize Around the Need of Institutional Decision Makers

• You think SIC-based databases adequately define institutions?
• Does sales volume determine the buying power in schools?

Schools and institutions are different from businesses. Schools need to be targeted not by their sales volume, but by wealth score, grade level or subject. Before developing an institutional marketing strategy, B2B marketers need to understand the basic difference between institutions and businesses.

Guidelines to build strategies specific to institutional decision makers

• Revolve Around Your Customer’s Mission – Institutions make purchase decision based on their missions. Therefore creating your marketing message around their mission will help in resonating with their needs.
• Keep an Eye on Fiscal Year-End Dates – Marketers can capitalize on the ‘use it or lose it’ budget system in institutions. Three months before the fiscal year end is the golden moment for marketers to gain from ‘clean-up’ spending that usually takes place in institutions. Keep in mind the typical fiscal year end dates of institutions, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st.
• Segment Your Customer Base – To identify the results of your marketing efforts, identify individual institutions by categorizing your customer base into actionable segments.

How to identify decision makers in institutions

Compared to business structures, institutions have a different decision making process and various job titles. Contacts of decision makers are not easily found on response databases or on purchase orders. Buying decisions are most often made by experience and highly-trained front line staff such as office mangers, professors, teachers and local administrators.

You need to consider the difference in marketing to businesses and institutions.

All you have to worry about is creating a relevant marketing strategy.

We will take care of finding the right institutional decision maker.

'When' You Market Is As Important What You Market in the Education Industry

• 180,000 K-12 public schools in Hawaii opened on August 5th
• 1.1 million K-12 schools in New York will not be open until September 9th

This big difference in time zones, demographics and geography should have a huge impact on how you need to strategize your marketing plans.

Why You Need to Know How Selling to Schools Has Evolved

For companies developing products for the education industry, the greatest challenges have been distribution and finding the right person to market your product. To build a strong distribution system, you need to understand the definition of important K-12 channel partners:

• Independent K-12 Sales Reps – Are representatives who sell to a particular geographic region and market only one or two products. They are responsible for building customer relationships and securing customers and retaining them.
• Education Resellers – They represent businesses with a wider geographic region and have multiple sales representatives. Typically, they buy products from publishers and resell it to schools and education institutions.

Marketing to schools has evolved over the years:

• Superintendents remained in their districts for years and were not required to justify their decisions.
• With key people in the district changing jobs frequently, relationships that would earlier develop over the years now have a life span of months. 
• Resellers’ relationships with top executive were enough to influence decisions. Today, buying decisions need to accounted and defended.
• The process of decision making has evolved from traditional, relationship-based systems to a more formal and organized approach.

How to reduce marketing costs and improve response rates with our Education Marketing Databases

Using a general B2B database is not likely going to produce the same results as a customized one, especially in education marketing. Institutional marketing requires specific education marketing databases that have contacts of key decision makers in institutions.

How to make education marketing data your most valuable asset

• Only 12% of companies depend on intelligence from quality data - Forrester
• This could cost companies approximately $8.2 million a year - Gartner

Data quality is about the level of fitness in context with the end use for which it was created. It is about completeness, accuracy, correctness, credibility and currency. It need not necessarily be about the percentage of addresses that are incorrect, a score on accuracy, the number of incorrect fields or number of null entries in the database.

For us at K12 Lists, data quality is a business need. Here’s how we maintain quality data:

• A manual check and data updation is done on an ongoing basis
• Data is downloaded from external sources every month and fields are updated frequently
• Tele-verification and email verification results are consistently maintained
• Invalid and non-existent records are flagged separately
• A set of data quality processes known as Input Editing Standards (IES) is created and implemented

So, how do you maintain quality?

Let us provide you with a competitive edge with quality data
