Instead, it has become an absolute necessity to master. Increasing your omni-channel presence is a widely recognized strategy for engaging with prospects and current clients, gathering feedback, or promoting new offerings. Let\u2019s look at the key components of omni-channel marketing strategy and its relations to EdTech.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Social media<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 292px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pictures.brafton.com\/x_0_0_0_14101227_400.jpg\" alt=\"Hand holding what data consists of in the education market.\" width=\"292\" height=\"292\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Importance of Omni-Channel Presence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As you may already know, a marketer\u2019s tool belt is never complete without social media platforms. In 2021, the Pew Research Center reported that YouTube and Facebook are the most popular social media apps for Adults in the U.S., with\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2021\/04\/07\/social-media-use-in-2021\/#:~:text=YouTube%20and%20Facebook%20continue%20to%20dominate%20the%20online%20landscape%2C%20with%2081%25%20and%2069%25%2C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">81% of responders saying they use YouTube<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0regularly and 69% reporting the same for Facebook. However, for adults aged 18-29, the most popular social media apps are different. Most say that they use Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok the most. These demographic differences illuminate why it is critical to tailor social media campaigns based on the target audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With so many people and businesses using this communication and community-building tool, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that teachers use these platforms in significant numbers. Targeting the clear leaders in the social world, namely Facebook and YouTube is a good strategy for marketing communications that intend to appeal to a broad audience. While there are undoubtedly other network options available, it\u2019s essential to be sure that your targeted group of educators has a significant presence before moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Email<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An email is a digital tool that has proven effective when used correctly. Its permanency, audience customization abilities, rich support for various types of content, and general usefulness have all contributed to making it an enduring form of digital communication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Email marketing may be helpful in its own right, but it presents unique challenges, which is why it is beneficial to have a professional on your side when constructing a campaign. Convincing prospects to open a message and take action can be difficult. Email marketing is most effective when the business has a large email base, broken down into easily targeted audiences. However, the email also offers plenty of advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Educators and administrators alike use email as part of their day-to-day duties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Email provides a sense of exclusivity for many email clients. When one message is open, it\u2019s the only message directly visible on the screen.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The business has a chance to share various content, supplemental information, and calls to action, making it effective throughout the marketing funnel.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Email shouldn\u2019t be overlooked as it continues to offer long-term value for nearly all EdTech marketers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Direct mail<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An omni-channel strategy isn\u2019t limited to the digital world; the two can be linked. Direct mail is even older than email, and there haven\u2019t been significant changes to its production and use in that time. However, it remains an effective tool for outreach when used correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pictures.brafton.com\/x_0_0_0_14145929_400.jpg\" alt=\"Teacher at desk in their classroom.\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/267;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Importance of Omni-Channel Presence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Direct mail offers a unique strategy for outreach that can\u2019t be recreated through current digital means.
