Education Social Media Strategy

The challenge for education providers on social media is balancing promotional content with genuine value. Schools that post nothing but 'Admissions Open' graphics get ignored. Training centres that only share course schedules get unfollowed. The institutions that build engaged audiences are the ones sharing real stories, genuine student experiences, and useful content that resonates with their target audience.

Common Social Media Pitfalls

Social Media Errors That Undermine Education Brand Growth in the UAE

Posting only promotional content. If every post is 'Register Now' or 'Admissions Open,' parents tune out. A mix of 80% valuable or engaging content and 20% promotional content keeps your audience interested and responsive when you do ask them to take action.

Ignoring comments and messages. Parents use social media to ask questions about fees, curriculum, and availability. If your school takes days to respond or never responds at all, that parent assumes you do not care about customer service and moves on to a competitor.

Using stock photos instead of real campus imagery. Parents want to see your actual school, your real students, and your genuine environment. Stock photos of smiling children in a generic classroom do not build trust. They signal that you have something to hide.

Not running paid campaigns during enrollment periods. Organic social media reach is limited. Without paid promotion, your enrollment announcements reach a fraction of your followers. Targeted ads during registration windows are essential for driving tour bookings.
