So, how do you do it via website or online marketing collateral and make sure that your marketing contribution is optimized? We at YouStudy.com have put together a list of the most important factors to check and consider prior to launching your online marketing campaign to attract foreign students for your study abroad courses. Protect your budget and get quality student enquiries leading to student recruitment by going through this checklist before you turn your campaign on.
1. Target your international students specifically region-wise Aiming too broadly with your online marketing efforts can result in ad waste. When you target a broad area of international students, you pay more to reach varied foreign students, but only a small percentage of them will convert. When you narrow down your target, specifically to the region within the specific country you are targeting to attract, you spend a lot less and get a higher proportion of conversions. Preventing online marketing & advertising waste means focusing on quality over quantity. Location is becoming increasingly essential in online marketing, as the majority of foreign students use their smartphones to find about their study abroad options.
2. Reach your international students at the right times You might want to consider the times at which your online marketing ads display, depending on the goals of your campaign. “Restricting your ads to 2

appear only during optimal times is an excellent way to save on your advertising budget.” - www.lotame.com. For instance, running ads on Facebook during late evening hours when the students from the Middle-East countries are highly active on social media. If you’re not sure, time affects your conversion rate, you can look at your metrics at the end of your online marketing campaign to see when you got the most engagement.
3. Advertise on the Right Channels You also need to make sure you advertise/market your study abroad course on the right online digital platform. You will have varied options for digital channels for your ads, including search, social media, and websites. To figure out which is the right channel for you, to attract international students, you need to find out where your audience spends their maximum online time, especially which online platform are they highly active and are they looking for studying abroad options or scholarships for international students on those particular channels.
4. Use the Right Keywords Keyword selection is a critical part of creating a campaign that will be effective, rather than resulting in advertising waste. Successful search engine marketing (SEM) campaigns, including pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, strategically use keywords to target the right audiences so those ads lead to conversions. Students searching for specific terms like exchange programs or scholarships for international students are actively seeking information relevant to their search query. If your search ad matches what the student is looking for, there’s a better chance they’ll click on it. 3
