Marketing plan of Siddhartha Academy and Research centre (SARC)
EDUCATION MARKET SENARIO OF NEPAL
SARC has analyzed good information regarding Nepal’s educational market. Gradually, the number of students attending test preparation courses in TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, GRE and GMAT is increasing. For instance, during the months of October, November, December and January, it is hard for students to get seats to take these exams. Similarly, various embassy reports show that Nepali students’enrollment in developed countries has raised over the years. Some colleges in Kathmandu also report that approximately 50% of their Bachelor level students quit their studies before they have completed their final year in order to study abroad.
Generally, Nepali students seek admission to the following undergraduate courses at foreign universities and colleges:
• Public Health
• MBBS
• Aviation
• Business Management
• Aeronautic Engineering
• Pharmacy
• Information Technology
• Hotel Management
• Hospitality Management
• Project Planning and Management
• Tourism
• Education
• Environmental Science
• Nursing etc.
We market and promote each and every course of all affiliated institutions on our own and in our own expenses besides officially and mutually agreed partnership marketing campaigns in all parts of Nepal. Besides on such occasions, the entire cost of the marketing and promotion is borne by the agent. We try our level best to promote and market all the programs of all affiliated institutions throughout Nepal. Our market studies have also indicated that the number of students seeking graduate studies programs over the years is on the rise. This is due to globalization and local market demand. According to the survey, many students are keen to have counseling for quality and demanding courses.
Our marketing strategies have shown positive indications for future opportunities. We plan to accomplish the following in the year 2009-2010.
• Annual IELTS/TOEFL test preparation classes for 800 students
• Annual GRE/GMAT/SAT test preparation classes for 100 students
• Student counseling for 800 students each year
• Exchange program for 60 students/teachers/professionals
• participation in at least two worldwide educational conferences
• Expansion of business in other thee cities in Nepal: Biratnagar, Chitawan and Pokhara.
• 10 Seminars with International Representatives in a year
• 2 Teacher training programs
The market of our service and programs is strong and appealing. We are enthusiastic about grabbing further opportunities to serve Nepal’s growing educational market demand.
Modes of Marketing
We use every modes of marketing like; print, electronic, internet, websites, hoarding boards, exhibitions, fairs, workshops, pamphlets, brochures and word of mouth etc. But print, electronic and seminars or dealing in person with the college representatives are the best and most effective marketing in our region.
Potential Market
Our potential market comes from Western and Eastern development regions of Nepal as we have branch offices in these areas to promote and market our programs. We have good image and relation with students and parents and we get many recommendations from old and current students and parents in these regions. But we get students from almost all parts of the country.
Best Time for Marketing
Though we get students throughout the year, August, September, October and November are the most suitable time of the year to conduct marketing trip to our country every year. It is because there will be many young and current high school graduates who are ready to apply for their further studies abroad.
Proposal for any Joint Marketing
At least twice or once in a year we have to go for a marketing campaign like seminars, workshops, education fairs during the peak or best time of the year or other time of the year to market and promote your programs here in Nepal through any modes of marketing.
Our Counseling Procedures
We have been in this abroad study counseling business quite for a long time and we apply all sorts of counseling procedures: one on one or face to face counseling with the help of our well trained and experienced counselors. Telephone counseling through or over the telephone for all prospective future students and parents. We also counsel students through online with the help of chat especially for city dwellers. We also counsel students and parents with the help of seminars, workshops, education expos and other means as well which are the most effective ones.
Our Visa Success Rate
Since we have been in this very field quite for a long time and have a team of highly experienced, qualified as well as nationally and internationally well-trained counselors and staffs, almost all of our students will get visa very successfully for all countries. We will provide genuine, authentic and professional counseling, visa preparation and complete documentation assistance free of charge for all students processing through us.
On the other hand, visa success rate doesn't depend on us though we provide all essential services to all prospective students. It entirely depends upon the academic and financial background of students. That's why we only enroll and process further for qualified students who meet the minimum requirements of the institution and the respective Embassy/visa consulate/high commission of their preferred dream countries.
