5. Highlight video testimonials of other parents
Don’t do all the talking yourself. Instead, let the parents of your existing students take the mic and promote your school.
Testimonials are very effective. Video testimonials can be even more impactful.
Seeing the faces of other parents and listening to their experiences can work wonders in convincing the mums and dads who are looking for a school for their child.
So, reach out to the parents of a few students. Ask them a few questions, like “what do you like best about the school”, “how the school has helped your child grow”, “why would you recommend this school to other parents”, and more. Record their videos and distribute them on your website and other digital platforms.
Video testimonials can accelerate your lead generation strategy, unlocking greater rewards.
