I would like to thank all of you for your kind regards on my 50th birthday yesterday. I am not big on these types of milestones, but I had a great family dinner and celebratory birthday cake, along with some very rude birthday cards from my friends and relatives. You can see a photo of me with my birthday cake on my blog.
I must apologize for the length of time between eNewsletters. My firm has been swamped with new school formation projects and school management services around the globe, and I have not put enough time into staying connected with my Inner Circle Members. I must reprimand myself since I am always the one to push staying connected with your client base to build trust and resulting enrolment. However, I am here now reconnecting with you and sharing what is happening in my life and providing some insightful tips to help you start and manage the performance of your private school more effectively.
Some of you have been kind enough to inquire into where and what HEG is working on. Here is snapshot of what we are focusing our services on:
1). Feasibility study to start a Private Gr. 7-12
2). Business plan to start a private multi-sports boarding academy in
4). Formation contract to start a “Red Seal” trade and technology institute in

3. Staying Connected With Your Community
=========================================
What better theme to discuss today than my own slacking off of communicating with my own community, you, members of HEG’s
How can you do this? Here are a few quick suggestions:
1). Set up an opt-in box on your web site to encourage parents to give you their name and email address. Once you have this, you then start to send out a weekly eNewsletter sharing with them what wonderful things you are doing at your school. Remember, once you set this up, sending emails is almost free. Furthermore, parents will forward this email to other parents (which is free and great). This is almost like word-of-mouth marketing, which is the most powerful marketing you can have – testimonials.
2). Set up an RSS feed on your web site so that every time you update it, your clients will know this too.
3). Set up a multi-step email system on your web site for parents who opt-in (have a free downloadable report that can go out in a 7 step process). This allows you to build up the relationship over time.
4). After parents visit your school or make an inquiry, set up a multi-step post card mail-out system with a third party vendor that will go out automatically in a 3-5 part mailing.
What ever you do, make sure it is systemized so that you are using your time wisely and you are reaching out to as many prospective parents and students as possible, building up that relationship of trust.
If you would like more information on to improve your school’s marketing and admissions strategies, please email HEG at info@halladayeducationgroup.com to set up a time to chat about your needs.
