Are you looking to skyrocket your charter school's enrollment numbers or become the talk of the town? Look no further than the sunny days of summer! As digital marketing wizards specializing in charter schools, we've cracked the code on what makes parents and students flock to your doors. Drumroll, please... **Fun, family-friendly events advertised on Facebook are the undisputed champions!**
To give you an example, we have a charter school that does a summer block party every year. For just a few thousand dollars of ad spend, they get almost 3,000 event sign-ups! These are entire families who click that they are interested in or going to your event. This leads to thousands of people from your community coming to your school! If just one new student comes from one of these summer events, you are already breaking even in regards to future funding that will come to your school.
But wait, there's more! These summer soirées are enrollment goldmines. Parents and students can explore your campus like adventurers, meet your stellar staff, and even enroll on the spot at a registration station (no pressure, though!). First impressions are everything, and what better way to plant the seeds of a fantastic school year than with face painting, carnival games, icy snow cones, or a magical movie night under the stars on your future school's lawn?
The benefits of these events are like a gift that keeps on giving. Your brand awareness will grow faster than a beanstalk, with ripple effects lasting for years. That family who had a blast at your summer block party? They might become your biggest cheerleaders, spreading the word about your school long after the last bit of cotton candy has been devoured.
Here's a surprising tidbit: many folks in your community might not even know what a charter school is! Some might mistake you for an exclusive private school or a secret tutoring society. By opening your doors and inviting them in, you're showing them that you're a tuition-free, public school that's as welcoming as a warm chocolate chip cookie.
