The situation

An independent school with capacity for 60 more learners, 40 enquiries a month from word of mouth and a website that described the curriculum but never asked for a visit.

What we did

  • Google Search on school, grade and area terms with a landing page that answered fees, transport and curriculum before asking for a tour.
  • Meta campaigns at parents in the catchment who did not know there was an alternative, using teacher and learner video.
  • Open day pushed through the enquiry list by newsletter and WhatsApp, with reminders.
  • Enquiry handling script and WhatsApp follow-up for admissions staff.
  • Enrolment data imported back as conversions so both platforms optimised for signed learners.

The result

Enquiries quadrupled to 160 a month at R188 each and 38 learners enrolled in one intake, which is about R2.1 million in annual fees from R30,000 a month in ad spend over the campaign.
