Free & Easy Marketing Add-on to Your Plan + Using Instagram to Get in Front of Students

8/13/2020

Your Current Students Can Attract Your Future Students

Do you have a plan on how to attract and reassure students during the midst of the current global flux and confusion? We have a FREE and easy solution for you! Study in the USA is partnering with Unibuddy to create a special opportunity during this challenging time: online student ambassadors on StudyUSA.com (view the general chat page here!).

With student ambassadors, you can:

Reach the most engaged students in your target audience, right at the moment they’re considering higher education
Help prospects get to know your institution when they can’t visit your campus
Connect this generation of digital natives — who place the most trust in the experience of their peers — with each other

Additionally, no extra time or resources are required on your end to create marketing collateral — ambassadors create your material for you to share on social channels.

The set-up is easy and this is a free, value-added feature to a Study in the USA package.

Using Instagram in Your Marketing Plan

Among teens, Instagram is second only to Snapchat as their preferred social media platform. And Instagram has a vast reach — 1 billion people worldwide use it monthly.

As part of your social media blasts with Study in the USA, your post is shared across platforms: Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and yes, Instagram. Over the last three months, our posts have received 3.4 million impressions.

In addition, we use Instagram Live to have conversations with current students about their experiences studying in the U.S. Let your current students — use one of your Unibuddy ambassadors! — help attract future students by setting up a live session.

“Coming to the U.S. to fulfill my college career was a dream that I’ve had for many years. My mom stood up for me in every step of the way. She went with me to every interview, every test, every meeting in order to get here. She gave me the confidence to believe in my dreams.”

—Valeria Saborio from Costa Rica is studying at Truckee Meadows Community College in Nevada. In advance of Costa Rican Mother’s Day on August 15th, she writes in her most recent blog post on StudyUSA.com about the support she received from her mother in making her dream to study in the U.S. come true.
