When you break down all the
fluff, there are two ways to promote and

and expensive – or smarter, faster, and
cheaper.

Editor's Notes

  1. Does your job look like this? How many hats do you wear each week?
  2. No surprise on the first two stats. But here’s the numbers that mean something to us as online marketers: (next 4 stats). Evidence that social media plays a role in college decisions. Increasing importance of video, especially on YouTube. Importance of student blogs as valuable content for your audience.This right here tells us that social media is a valuable investment for colleges and universities. Students see it as important to their college decisions, and so colleges need to take online marketing seriously.
  3. Institutions’ use of social media. Many institutions are using multiple social media, which strains time and resources even further.
  4. PTTV original video created and produced by students: http://vimeo.com/28910135. Students are an excellent (and often free) resource for creating great content.
  5. Park Tudor website redesign 2011: The project began by using a class of English students to gather their ideas for the website (free market research). We then talked to our web company and told them we had basically no budget to do a website redesign, but we wanted to do one anyway. We figured out what we needed and what we could afford, and then found alternative ways to accomplish what we couldn’t afford, such as using prettyPhotojavascript to get a lightbox video and slideshow player for free. We ended up spending 1/5 of the cost of a typical independent school redesign, and yet we received the most positive feedback from any redesign we’ve done.
