Executive Summary
High tuition fees, escalating costs, shifting demography, expanding choices, the value proposition and other numerous external factors can potentially damage, or even deplete, the new student prospect pool, so schools must pay more attention than ever before to marketing concerns. While many equate marketing with advertising and promotion, making the most of external initiatives begins with a cohesive and collaborative internal effort. The power of partnerships among key internal stakeholders, including faculty, admissions, development and finance staff must be recognized. Integrating departmental functions is not only good leadership and management. By listening carefully to those you seek to serve, making sure all stakeholders understand their roles, and putting the right technology infrastructure in place to support communication, a school can foster strong internal collaboration that helps to advance their missions.
This is a strategic marketing plan developed to where I work, Alethea School which seek prosperity in near future.
