Successful schools often employ a variety of marketing methods, from magazine advertisements to good, old word-of-mouth. One of the marketing tools you can use for your school is a school banner.
School banners celebrate or announce many events, such as graduation or an athletic event. You can use a school banner to attract new students and instill school spirit in current students.
Since timing and placement are everything, here are our top four times to use a school banner.
- Enrollment Season
Enrollment is the number one driver for school profit. Whether you offer primary education or ballet classes, it’s important to advertise open enrollment.
A school banner placed on the exterior of the building invites passers-by to come in and see for themselves what you have to offer. It also acts as a great reminder to the public that it’s a good time to try out the school and get that application in before it’s too late. If current students need to re-enroll, an enrollment banner can remind them to do so on time.
- Competitions
School sports and other competitive events are a time of nervous excitement for students. They appreciate shows of school spirit and encouragement.
If you honor your students by mentioning them in the school banner, it shows them and their families that they matter to the school. That makes for great publicity, both from their excitement and for how well it looks to the other teams.
Displaying a school banner at competitions earns prestige for your school and shows that you support your students 100%.
- Back to School
Everyone’s thinking about classes in the Fall, so back to school season is another great time to put up a school banner. Filling your entrances with welcome back banners is a great way to capitalize on the season.
Families love to see their children welcomed, which makes the season a good time for school banners. These are easy to put together with the templates available on Gatorprints!
- Graduation
When your kindergarten students are ready for first grade or your martial arts class is coming to a close, you can celebrate with a school banner that shows the world your students’ accomplishments.
Congratulating grads for their achievements not only makes them more likely to recommend your school, but also attracts attention from potential customers. Seeing your students graduate makes them want the same for their children.
