Be Connected. Be Authentic.Students of Generation Z want truth, individualism, and dialogue. Authenticity is key.
Gen Z is analytical and pragmatic and use all the channels for their research, including reading reviews, learning about your school and where it stands on social and environmental issues. They often listen to each other more than an authority figure, so make sure that your institution is aligned with their core values at all times. Students research! Recent studies have shown that Gen Z values the validity of print. As opposed to the internet, where sources can be murky, digital ads track you, and fake news easily proliferates, print cuts a credible swath through the noise. Get in front of students with an ad in one of our 9 magazines in 5 languages. Study in the USA has been attuning itself to students’ needs for more than 40 years, and even during these changing and challenging times, we make ways for you to create strong, authentic connections with this generation of international students. Want to create authentic connections? Get in touch! → The Future is MultichannelMultichannel marketing is critical now and will be even more so in the future, as the internet and other platforms continue to evolve. Not only are Gen Z digital natives, they also value print as a reliable, tangible resource because it’s not in their phones.
You need to be where the students are — and they are everywhere. Additionally, you must be in all of those spots consistently, with authentic messages that show you understand their needs. Let us help you go multichannel! With Study in the USA, we can create a plan that engages your students at different access points — online, over social media, creating connections through peers, in print, and more. Get in touch with our team to create a multichannel plan → The Best Marketing Strategies Use a Print & Digital MixYou might not be traveling right now, so let our magazines travel for you! They will be where the students are in the fall and spring: fairs, EducationUSA offices, schools, agencies, and more! In addition, digital versions of the magazines live online where they get additional exposure. Studies show that the best marketing strategies use a mix of print and digital, and that it takes a potential user seeing a product 7 times before action is taken. Use the wide variety of options Study in the USA can provide to get your school or program in front of students, and include print in the mix.
