Chinese Digital Marketing
Don’t let the largest market for international students remain untapped. Use customized digital recruitment solutions–including microsite development, analytics, inbound marketing, PPC lead generation, and social media campaigns – to reach students on Chinese digital channels like Baidu, WeChat, and Weibo.
Inbound Marketing
Optimize your inbound marketing initiatives to build organic relationships with prospective students and nurture promising leads. Combine social media and email campaigns, customized content, SEO, and precise analytics reporting to amplify your university’s online presence and ensure an efficient and effective recruitment process.
Multilingual Paid Advertising
Connect with prospective international students in their own language with multilingual Pay-Per-Click ad campaigns. With geo-targeted ads and customized landing pages in more than 10 different languages, applicants from all over the world will be able to find your university.
What to Expect from Digital Marketing
While agencies typically generate student applications, digital marketing generates both student applications and inquiries. Your university will receive both direct inquiries and applications from students around the world through digital channels, and needs to be prepared to follow up by phone, Skype WhatsApp, and email at every stage of the enrollment process.
You can ensure that prospective applicants find your university online with targeted Pay-Per-Click campaigns that reach students in their native language through both search engines and social media sites.
