A Guide to Digital Marketing for School Board Members

As a school board member, you're dedicated to ensuring your private school thrives and continues its mission of providing excellent education. But in today's digital world, having an outstanding academic program isn't enough – families need to find you first. That's where strategic digital marketing comes in, and it's what we've been helping private schools achieve for nearly 20 years.

The Challenge Private Schools Face Today

Think about how parents search for schools now. They don't just ask neighbors or check the Yellow Pages anymore. Instead, they:

If your school isn't showing up prominently in these places, you're missing opportunities to connect with families who would be perfect fits for your community.

How We Help Private Schools Thrive

At Cube Creative Design, we've helped numerous private schools across the country increase their enrollment by making sure they're visible and impressive in all the places parents are looking. Here's a real example: One of our partner schools in Charlotte saw their website inquiry forms double after implementing our strategy, leading to a significant increase in campus tours and eventual enrollments.

What We Actually Do

We handle all the digital details so you can focus on what you do best – running an excellent school. Our work includes:

1. Making your school easy to find online

2. Telling your school's story effectively

3. Connecting with parents where they are

  • We maintain an active, professional presence on social media platforms where parents spend time
  • We share updates about school life, events, and achievements
  • We engage with your community and answer questions from prospective families

The Investment That Pays For Itself

Consider this: If your annual tuition is $7,500, just two new enrolled students cover your entire year of digital marketing with us – and we typically help schools attract many more than that. Plus, these students often stay for multiple years and have siblings who also enroll, multiplying the return on your investment.

A Partnership Built on Trust and Results

We understand that marketing budgets in private schools are carefully scrutinized, as they should be. That's why we:

  • Provide monthly reports showing exactly what we're doing and the results we're achieving
  • Track important metrics like website visitors, inquiry forms submitted, and social media engagement
  • Make adjustments based on what's working best for your specific school
  • Offer guidance on how to maximize your marketing budget

Real Results from Real Schools

One of our partner schools saw these results within their first year:

  • 312% increase in website visibility
  • Doubled the number of inquiry forms from prospective families
  • Significant increase in campus tour bookings
  • Higher attendance at open house events

Taking the First Step

We invite you to schedule a consultation where we can:

  • Review your school's current online presence
  • Identify opportunities for improvement
  • Discuss specific strategies for your school
  • Answer any questions you have about the process
