Education is a sector which runs perfectly well and is always growing whether its recession or an economic boon in a country like India. People know and highly regard as well as acknowledge the importance of Education in every individual’s life. Education has different branches, of which certain branches such as Engineering and Medical streams are always in high demand. A number of coaching centres have developed in the past decade which cater specifically to students appearing for IIT-JEE, AIEEE, WBJEEE, Medical or MBBS entrances. One of such institutes is Ables Education and speaking to a franchise owner of this particular coaching institute, namely Supriya Mishra, has enables us to get a glimpse of how newspaper advertising affects the education industry.
Q. Could you please tell us about your education franchise initiative?
A. Taking up the franchise of Ables Education was a Business initiative for me. The institute was established in Bhubaneswar, Orissa in 2009 and I decided to become part of this noble venture as imparting education in any form, always benefits the learner and the educator as well. Ables Education was dedicated to provide coaching to aspiring IITians, Doctors and engineers and different people took up the franchise of the institute in their location or as per their convenience.
Q. Why did you feel the need to advertise?
A. Ables Education is an institute which originated in Kota, Rajasthan. We wanted to expand and felt the need to advertise so that people would know about our expansion into Bhubaneswar, Orissa. The advertising intent was to create brand awareness about Ables across all of Orissa.
Q. When you advertised, whom did you intend to reach out to?
A. Ables wanted to mainly reach out to high school students from class X, as an early start meant multiple attempts and better chances at succeeding in the entrance exams. We also wanted to reach out to their parents as they are the decision makers in such matters, even now, across India. We mainly advertised in English newspapers as we thought that parents and students with an English base and academic background are financially stable enough to avail our coaching facilities.
Q. How effective did Newspaper Advertising prove for you? Will you invest in newspaper advertising in futre?
A. Newspaper Advertising was the most successful medium for our institute. We received numerous queries from across the state including parents and students who wanted enrol their children or themselves respectively. Maximum students and parents who finally joined the institute came through newspaper ads.
If necessary, we will surely advertise in newspapers, purely because Newspaper Advertising is the easiest and best way to reach out to a huge number of people at once. Also newspapers are considered to be the most reliable source of information for most people across India.
Q. Why did you choose to book the newspaper advertisement through an online portal like releaseMyAd?
A. Previously when we booked newspaper ads through local agents, we faced a lot of issues as we had to visit them quite often which was at times an unnecessary harassment as well as extremely time consuming. An online newspaper ads booking site was highly convenient and saved an immense amount of time as we had to book ads quite regularly. The ad rates for a wide number of newspapers were instantly available on the releaseMyAd.com page.
Q. How was your ad booking experience with releaseMyAd?
A. It was excellent actually. Every time I placed an ad through the website, everything was quite smooth. The Best thing was that the ad was printed exactly the way it had appeared in the Live Ad Preview Feature of your Compose Ad section. I could easily book the ads on my own and the rates were also quite economical compared to other similar websites.
