• a combined area of ​​the budget will be divided among schools or
• an RMM (Regional Marketing Manager) implement a comprehensive marketing plan for local schools and individuals, who only needed to develop their own importance as a newsletter.
Or perhaps a number of local schools working together and sharing the budget.
A joint budget could see schools of different aspects of marketing specific to cluster instance
• one may concentrate on the Arts / Physical Education in the cluster
• Other possible markets a wide range of key curriculum and extra curricular activities offered by the region and at different times for each
• Others may emphasize the welfare, pastoral and social justice aspects of the cluster.
For some schools this may be the only way to get started or to keep the SMB marketing in any form what-what ever.
Attention - although this may appear to save financially, it takes away from the uniqueness of each individual school. Marketing is often more successful when emphasizing the uniqueness.
A professional school will always be possible to run a proper marketing budget to help promote the school - both in good times and difficult.
