Plan your actions in advance

Surprisingly, people thinking about going to college start planning the year before.

According to research, potential students start looking for information about the course 8 months before taking the entrance exam.

An institution attentive to the market develops strategies throughout the year, not just at the beginning of the semester.

Attractive content

Have professionals on your team who are qualified to create valuable content. After all, when using your cell phone there are many distractions:

  • Message exchanges;
  • Social media;
  • Games;
  • Programs and applications;
  • Music and videos.

If your message doesn't have anything more, the internet user will close the window and visit the competitor.

Invest in videos

After a day of work, reading a text is not always an easy task.Transform your content in short videos to summarize information about the second graduation.

Thus, the student watches the video, and then reads the text on your blog to find additional information about the college.

Advertise in apps

Although organic search happens on social media, anyone who needs results should invest in advertisements. 

Currently, the customization options for paid media are endless and success is guaranteed.

To attract the attention of older audiences, the current trend is to advertise on apps. This form of advertising is quick, discreet and highly effective.

Bet on interactivity

Before starting your second degree, win over your audience through memorable experiences.

Holding competitions, offering scholarship programs to already graduated students and holding events is a way of making yourself remembered and strengthening ties with the client.

The contest can be done digitally. This way you collect information such as telephone and email addresses from participants and generate leads.

Keep in touch

Sending emails or SMS messages is another mobile marketing strategy.  

However, don't be bored. Sending messages in the early hours of the day or on the weekend can cause rejection.

Wait for the right moment and send objective messages.

Whatever the case, the cell phone is an item that is here to stay. Carrying out mobile marketing campaigns puts you ahead in a market with countless competitors and difficulties.
