> CLICK-RECRUIT-ENROL – ONLINE ADVERTISING… WORKS!
Your target audiences have moved online… have you?
Do you share our confusion? Why do so many Schools & Colleges continue wasting budget on ‘hit & miss’ traditional advertising?
It is time to realise the benefits of digital advertising… some Schools are ahead of the game… you may already have noticed your competitor’s adverts appearing alongside relevant search results.
No question, Online Advertising should be at the centre of your pupil/student recruitment, marketing and admissions strategy.
Whether you want to try Online Advertising for the first time or to expand an existing Online Advertising programme, Click-Recruit-Online (OMTAC Ltd) provides inexpensive packages for one-off costs – no on-going fees, no hidden costs.
Advertising in the media, especially print media, is often poorly targeted, short-term, catch-all, ineffective, wasteful, hard to track.
So why continue to do it?
Online digital advertising is much cheaper than you may think… highly targeted, timely, focused, customised, flexible, easy to adjust, measurable, cost-effective.
And remember… once Online Advertising campaigns have been set-up they can be used and re-used, switched on and off as required, month on month, year on year. Once you have invested in setting up your accounts and campaigns you just pay for each click to your website… for each prospective parent, pupil/student or key influencer who engages directly with you… no more ‘hit & miss’!
We can help with Online Advertising on Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Linkedin – please email us at info@omtac.com for details.

> AFFORDABLE PACKAGES DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR SCHOOLS
> TIMES HAVE CHANGED, TRADITIONAL PRINT ADVERTISING RARELY DELIVERS… WHY KEEP DOING IT?
Previously we have run Online Advertising campaigns on request for Schools who have attended our training workshops and seminars.
However we have noticed how local advertising agencies are charging Schools high monthly retainers or fees based on the percentage of advertising spend each month for providing Online Advertising services… this soon becomes very expensive.
As specialists in education digital marketing we have therefore decided to make our services more widely available, offering cost-effective packages to get you up and running… you then take care of the rest, switching the advertising on or off as necessary.
(Once your advertising account has been set-up you will have complete control and can run and re-use your campaigns as much as you like over the following months and years.)
We have worked in and with Schools, Colleges and Universities in admissions and marketing and we know from personal experience the way sales staff at newspapers and magazines, guides and directories see institutions as a soft touch… launching a ‘hard sell’ whenever they want to fill advertising space.
We know it is all too easy to succumb to the pressure, to say “yes” against better judgement, because governors and senior management expect to see their School alongside competitors.
But why base your advertising on the bad habits and mistakes of competitors?
It is mostly a waste of budget, we all know it.
Generally, once your campaigns have been set-up, your Online Advertising costs will probably vary from £1 to £4.50 per click (per person clicking through to your website)… so for a spend of, say, £300 you might have anything from 60-540 visitors to your website!
Take the example of a quarter or half page advert costing £600 in a newspaper or magazine or a similar spend on posters in supermarkets or adverts on buses… when has that ever brought 100-400+ visitors to your website in the way that Online Advertising can?! Proven, trackable and precisely targeted.
Remember… these are prospective parents, pupils/students and key influencers who are actively looking for what you are offering and coming to your website to read about you, to request a prospectus, to register to attend an Open or Virtual Event.
Having run multiple advertising campaigns for Schools in the UK, Europe and further afield, attracting 1000s of prospective parents, pupils/students and key influencers to our clients’ websites at minimal cost, we know Online Advertising works.
We know from experience that Online Advertising is far more cost-effective than traditional offline advertising, it reaches key target audiences day and night who are researching School options but, because of poor ranking against particular search terms, not finding you.
Investment in Online Advertising can also benefit ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ search engine ranking if the research data is used effectively for ‘Search Engine Optimisation’ (SEO)… so in the long-term ranking improves and the need to spend money on Online Advertising reduces.
Our Online Advertising packages have been developed as the answer for Schools wanting to test (or increase existing) digital advertising, moving your spending from poorly targeted traditional advertising offline to highly targeted and effective Online Advertising.
We can help with Online Advertising on Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Linkedin – please email us at info@omtac.com for details.
You pay us for the set-up of your Online Advertising account, campaign(s) and landing page(s)… you then pay Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin direct for any advertising you subsequently do, as and when you do it.
> EXAMPLE PACKAGES & COSTING FOR ‘PAID SEARCH’ ONLINE ADVERTISING – ‘STARTER PACKAGE’ FOR SCHOOLS
(Please contact us for more details and/or details of advertising packages for ‘Paid Social’ on Facebook, Instagram and/or Linkedin.)
> COST-EFFECTIVE, HIGHLY TARGETED AND FLEXIBLE
This advertising package has been specifically designed for Schools wishing to target prospective parents, pupils/students and key influencers who are searching in Google and/or Bing search for information about their next School.
We will do the following:
1) Open a Google AdWords account for you.
2) Provide you or your website developer with re-marketing codes (and instructions/guidance for installation) for future use if/when required.
3) Review your website SEO, your links and your competitor’s SEO.
4) Produce a target list of keywords and key phrases for your Online Advertising campaign.
5) Plan and create a ‘Paid Search’ Online Advertising campaign according to your targeting requirements, comprising separate campaigns as appropriate, with Ad Groups and Ads designed to bring prospective parents, students and others to your website at minimal cost.
6) Set-up ‘Extensions’ and Mobile advertising (Paid Search) to enhance your campaign.

9) Provide 2 hours of training by phone/Skype in how to manage your Google AdWords and/or Bing online advertising accounts.
PLUS – you will receive a free SEO Report giving details of your current keyword and key phrase targeting and an analysis of your website and your competitors’ SEO, with advice on how you can improve your search engine ranking.
> GOOGLE ADWORDS AND/OR BING ADVERTISING?
Google dominates the search engine sector in most countries with a market share of up to 90%.
Bing has a much smaller market share however it does tend to have a higher percentage use within the education sector, so prospective pupils/students and key influencers who are researching School options may use Bing rather than Google.
Also worth considering… Google’s dominance means that most Schools advertising online will tend to focus on Google, by advertising on Bing you may reach prospective parents, pupils/students and/or key influencers not otherwise targeted by competitors.
It can therefore be advantageous to advertise on both. (Remember – you only pay for the advertising when someone clicks on an advert and visits your website, learning about your School and touring your site.)
> PACKAGE PRICING
The costs given below are for ‘one-off’ set-up costs.
Once the Google AdWords and/or Bing Advertising account(s) and campaigns have been set-up you will have full control, you can use and re-use the campaigns as much as required (or your advertising budget will allow) over the following months or years.
The only extra cost will be the ‘cost per click’ charged by Google AdWords and/or Bing Advertising each time someone clicks on an advert and visits your website.
