A Guide to Social Media Ads for Educational Institutions

Course summary

Porto, Portugal

6 days

Erasmus+ KA1

480€

Everyone is familiar with Facebook. With almost 3 billion active users per month, it is the biggest social network on the planet. Parents of prospective students spend numerous hours there every day.

Building a community is one of the main goals for brands to create a presence on Facebook and Instagram, and this is especially important in a school setting. Both platforms provide enormous flexibility for how a school could be promoted successfully. Thankfully, Facebook and Instagram are included in the same advertising network, making it easier for marketers to run advertisements.

Older students, who are more likely to make judgments about their schooling and view adverts on social media, will be the group to whom this will most likely apply. Today’s older students have more options and freedom than ever before when it comes to their education and the school or program to enrol in.

One of the best ad-targeting tools ever developed, Facebook’s advertising platform has a lot of potential and variety for school marketers. Advertising campaigns can be extremely precisely targeted to users based on their age, gender, occupation, interests, behaviours, past purchases, and a wide range of other factors. Additionally, it offers a variety of retargeting choices, the capability to create bespoke audiences, and a useful tool called “lookalike audiences,” which accurately identifies individuals who share traits with your targeted audience. 

Stay connected to students, families, and staff with expert marketing advice and all the tools you need!
