Exam Preparation Marketing Guide (SA)

This guide will provide strategies and tactics to effectively market Tutor Doctor’s exam preparation services. With the upcoming exam season, this is the perfect opportunity to support students while driving new sales and re-enrollments.

Existing Customers and Re-Enrollment

Your most loyal customers are already within reach. Focusing on re-enrollment  not only boosts revenue but strengthens customer relationships and encourages referrals.

Re-Enrollment Tips:
  1. Direct Outreach: Call existing customers to inform them of special exam prep promotions.

  2. Follow-Up with Past Clients: Offer short-term packages for those who lapsed.

  3. Tutor Advocacy: Ask tutors to leave flyers with test prep details.

  4. Email Campaigns: Regularly update clients and unconverted leads with tips, success stories, and offers.

  5. Referral Incentives: Encourage customers to share their success stories and offer discounts for referrals.

Social Media Strategy

Utilize Facebook and Instagram to showcase testimonials and exam-related content.

Showcasing Testimonials and Study Tips: In the months leading up to the exam season, franchise owners can strategically post testimonials from satisfied students and parents, alongside infographics with study tips and tricks. This approach not only builds trust but also positions Tutor Doctor as an authority in exam preparation. Links to relevant blogs and resources can further enhance the value of each post.

Content Plan:

  1. Success stories and positive testimonials.
  2. Exam tips and strategies.
  3. Special offers like "FREE Consultation for Early Enrollment."
