Private schools are continuing to seek out ways to differentiate and showcase their uniqueness. As you market your school to prospective families, just in the same way you wish to make a strong first impression at your Open House event or Preview Night, make sure your Facebook Page is an impressive first impression as well.
The above image is a sample of how a private school could do a creative Timeline cover to have some fun and showcase the personality of the school. The custom tabs in the image (WANT A TOUR? / WANT MORE INFO? / WATCH OUR VIDEOS) allow you to drive new fans to specific custom landing pages (learn how to use the specific URLs of these landing pages on Facebook).
Giving prospective specific action steps increases the amount of time they stay on your page. In marketing, you never want to let the prospective family wander in and try and figure out what you are about. You take the lead, showcasing your school’s best features, and driving them to an action/commitment step!

Earlier this month, we conducted a popular webinar called, “7 Tips to Getting More Likes & Comments on Your School’s Facebook Page”.
