Invest one hour to read the paper and you'll change the way you look at marketing. 'What principals need to know about the principles of school marketing’, took two months and twenty plus years to write. I have attempted to reimagine school marketing.

If you’ve learned your marketing by working in schools, then it’s time for a reboot.

Your Compass Calendar Feeding Your Website

If you're using Compass as your primary calendar, then we can have those dates appear in your website's calendar, automatically. 

No double entry. Please get in touch if you use Sentral, Google or other 3rd party calendar apps. We can help. Easy!

You only manage one calendar and you keep two spaces up to date. The dates will even find their way into your eNews as well. That's three spaces updated.

If you want us to integrate your Compass calendar, just ask Compass to provide your calendar code in the format below (your school's tech may be able to locate the code too inside the Compass admin).

Email Sinead the code at helpdesk@sponsor-ed.com.au 

There is a once off charge of $125 plus gst.

Please note that our servers sweep your site every four hours to refresh the calendar updates.


Example of Compass calendar code


For Google find the iCal code and similar for Sentral.


Examples of sponsor-ed website calendar modules (you can display both or either one)



Stop Using 'Principal's Message'

There’s nothing stopping you having a little fun with click bait. How often do you see an article headed ‘Principal’s Message’, every week, every year. Doesn’t draw you in does it?

A little subtext would give it a lift such as, ’Principal’s Message: 5 tips on remote learning’, or ‘Principal’s Message: would I have become a teacher?’.

Headlines are part of the context communication's theory, anything is that goes to adorn a message. I wonder what the engagement would be like if the story below appeared in the next edition of your newsletter. I do amuse myself sometimes.

For more communication's tips, please see my paper, 'What Principals Need to Know About the Principles of School Marketing'. Click here.

Online Forms - Time to ditch the paper

Want easy to create forms on your site?  Many of our schools have been using online forms recently. These can be for booking school tours, volunteering in the classroom, enrolment enquires, student absences or even joining the alumni.

The form creator in your site is simple to use and can email responses to multiple email addresses as well as store them in the admin area of your site to export to a spreadsheet.

To learn how to create a form, follow this guide.

To see what the form looks like on one of our schools websites click here.

For more information or other helpful hints, please don't hesitate to contact our helpdesk.
