Description
This book contains 50 cases illustrating university and college marketing mistakes. These are real instances at real institutions, although the names, places and people are changed to protect the innocent (or guilty, depending on your point of view).
But make no mistake. These cases are actual situations. And each is followed by an analysis and steps to fix the problem—a marketing lesson. Topics include:
- Identifying differential advantage and target market
- Building and maintaining brand equity
- Selecting and communicating your message
- Using the Web
- Recruiting students
- Dealing with parents and alumni
