INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT:

“A Study on online & offline marketing strategies for management institute with
special reference to ISMR B-School”. Here looking towards today’s marketing
scenario most of the institutes, corporate company or any service industry focus on
both online & offline marketing strategies. It must be emphasized importantly is to
combine both online marketing and offline marketing advertising together in your

in an educational institute there are some aspects which I have mentioned where the
institutes are looking for achieving their goals while using online & offline
marketing strategies. The offline marketing strategies involve: - direct mail, print
advertising, hoardings, banners, any kind of outdoor media, cold calling, printing
prospects and sending to the students, newspaper adds, group discussion, personal
interview, telephonic interview. The online marketing strategies involve: - official
websites, link exchange, link purchase, lead purchase, social bookmarking, Skype
interview and social media.

HOW DID I CARRY OUT THIS PROJECT?

1. A research was done by Tele-calling to the students from different areas with
the data given to call for the purpose of admission.
2. Tele-calling was done in different areas according to the responses we were
getting from different zones.
3. Using Skype and telephonic mode of interviews to shortlist the students for
GD&PI.
4. Inviting the students for the GD&PI in their own particular areas.
5. Conducting the GD&PI in those particular areas.
6. Giving admission to the selected candidates.
7. Using social media & educational activities to keep the student updated.
8. Sending college documents via mail.
9. Using WhatsApp to keep them updated regarding college activities and solving
grievances of both students and parents.
10.Taking feedback from the students through online channels.

Also, activities were conducted like conducting workshop in different graduation


colleges, participating in the education fare, making tie-ups with the education
consultants.

RESULT (OUTPUT) IN SHORT CONCLUSION:


This is to compare the influence of online and offline media usage as a source of
information for the choice of college. Further, the study also tries to explore within the
category of social media the range and frequency preference of various options
available in the Indian Social Media market, both in terms of popularity and usage. It is
understood that both popularity and usage can serve as key indicators in understanding
the factors affecting college students during the decision-making process of the most
significant area of the life.

CHAPTER 5

LITERATURE REVIEW

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 27 | P a g e


History: -
The education industry has not remained beyond the boundaries of undertaking
marketing activities. The major concern of colleges and universities has been
maintaining the enrolment ratio year by year. It becomes important for educational
institutions to understand how prospective students choose a college or university for
higher studies. Chapman observed a decline in the number of college applications and
enrolments thereafter. Colleges are devising better marketing strategies considering the
falling number of student admission and increasing number of institutions. Chapman
presented a model representing what influences or affects the incoming students’
choice of college for further education. The model aimed to help decision-makers of
the college admissions to consider the influencing factors. Literature in
admissions/enrollments in education is not a new development.

In a book on higher education, Penn (1999) discussed issues and trends in management
of enrollment among higher education institutions, using data of 30 years. The report
covers such aspects as access, accountability, finance, political and government
support, regulatory environment, public perception, etc. The author carried out a survey
on the administrators of public universities. An attempt on evaluating admission
management program was made and ethical implication issues were discussed. For
consumers, media plays an important role in choosing service providers, including
educational service providers. It is beyond doubt that the Internet, particularly social
media, has changed the way people used to make choices about buying and using
various goods and services. This applies to deciding about further education as well.
There is a generational change about the way of choosing college or university for
higher education using various sources of information. Social media is playing an
important role here, which is understood by education institutions as well.

A report (Barnes, 2009) commissioned by the National Association for College


Admission Counseling mentions that colleges and universities have started using social
media not only in the classroom, but also for their admission strategies. It was found
that more than 50 percent of admission departments used social media of one type or
the other for recruitments/admissions. Moreover, roughly 20 percent used social media
for screening of applications. The report found that colleges, however, were using
social media unevenly. In another article titled “How social media can and should
STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 28 | P a g e
impact higher education” Blankenship (2010) discusses Rheingold’s five
interconnected literacies of social media. These are Attention, Participation,
Collaboration, Network awareness, and Critical consumption. The author states that
Rheingold’s suggestion is that one must have training to become ‘social media literate’
because we are not born with the knowledge of using social media effectively.
Blankenship concludes that one cannot escape using social media in education
nowadays. Whether in a classroom or otherwise, one needs to be aware about making
choices of using social media in higher education. Service providers are shifting their
eyes from number of hits their website is receiving to number of likes their Facebook
page is getting. In the context of website(s) of college/university, it needs to be checked
whether institutions’ website or social media is relied upon for information collection.

Poock (2001) noted that colleges and universities are using the World Wide Web
(WWW) more and more for admitting students, though use of the website by the
students is not known. The author addressed issues, such as, engaging nature of
website, browsing, and submission likelihood. The study was conducted among
students about how they perceive websites of colleges and universities. Advising
admission managers, the study concluded that the growth of research on the impact of
Internet has not accelerated. The present research on this is more inclined towards
commercial organizations rather than educational institutions. It was also concluded
that colleges/universities can use technology better on marketing and on enrolment
efforts. Along with online media, such as, websites and WWW, social media,
particularly mobile-based media, also plays a role in information dissemination. The
changing peer influence in social media communication was examined when compared
to tradition sender-receiver communication model in the context of choice of a
university made by the students (Timothy, 2010). The influence of sources of
information on students’ choice of university for further education is tested out in this
research. The influence of friends/family members, campus visit, etc. was compared
with other media.

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 29 | P a g e


Choices Making and Influential Factors in Education Sector.

Padlee, Kamaruddin, and Baharun (2010) examined international students’ selection


criteria for higher education. The study was carried out on 565 international students in
Malaysia, asking questions on 48 factors for selection of private institution. The study
found six factors strongly influencing decision-making among students, namely,
quality of learning environment, influencers, customer focus, cost, facilities,
socialization, and location. The study suggested that managers should develop
marketing strategies using these factors to attract foreign students for enrolment.

Litten (1982) noted that approach and process of college selection is neither simple nor
similar for different individuals. Depending upon varying needs of the students,
different types of information can be reached to students via different media. The
author observed that parents have larger influence on students’ college selection
process compared to factors such as gender or race. College administrators can take up
cost-benefit analysis to compare admission strategies.

Internet privacy issues also affect users’ decision of searching for a service provider
online. Ng (2012) mentioned that the Internet has already become a consumer medium
for online users and simultaneously raised concerns about access to users’ information.

An empirical study using a survey-based approach was conducted across various


colleges, universities and schools in India. Data of 100 student respondents, evenly
distributed in three broad categories, namely, presently enrolled undergraduate
students, postgraduate students, and XII grade students seeking college admissions,
were collected. A 10-point response option checklist prepared on the basis of the
literature review of presently practiced offline and online marketing techniques was
used on respondents in the age group between 17 and 20 years.

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 30 | P a g e


Respondents’ Profile

It was observed that there were an almost equal number of male and female
respondents. The number of the respondents with commerce in their HSC (Higher
Secondary Certificate) was the largest, followed by the number of respondents with
science. The highest number of respondents was from Gujarat and a very small number
of respondents were from abroad. Majority of the respondents’ father’s occupation was
business and mother’s occupation were homemaker. The median average monthly
family income of the respondents was found to be ` 4,42,714. Respondents explored,
on average, four other universities/ colleges before choosing this institution and had
appeared in an average of three entrance exams other than that of their chosen
institution.

The Analysis Intended to Capture the Views of Respondents on Following


Parameters

Role and influence of various personal and non-personal source of information


amongst college youth in decision-making process.
Comparison of the impact of online and offline source of information in
college/university selection process.
Frequency distribution and ranking of various types of social media, within the
category of various types of social media.

Findings and Discussion

The findings evidently reveal the emerging role of online marketing techniques. The
role of existing offline marketing techniques used by Indian colleges and universities
was found to be significant in the process of decision-making in the choice for
college/university admission. The role and dependability of the source of offline versus
online information varied significantly across factors like program fees,
college/university background, faculty, and career support.

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 31 | P a g e


The Dataset was divided into Two Subsets

Subset of those who came to know about college/university via online and
offline sources both.
A comparison was made between the two subsets/groups to understand the
profile of both the groups, to know the perception of both the groups towards
choosing a university or college for higher education, and to check what role
social media plays, if at all, in influencing students’ choice of college or
university for further studies.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 33 | P a g e


WHAT IS RESEARCH?
Research is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our
understanding of a topic or issue. -John W. Creswell

Research is a careful and detailed study into a specific problem, concern, or issue using
the scientific method. It is a scientific and systematic search for information on a
particular topic or issue. It is also known as the art of scientific investigation. Research
includes any gathering of data, information, and facts for the advancement of
knowledge. A research method is a systematic plan for conducting research. It consists
of three steps: pose a question, collect data to answer the question, and present an
answer to the question.

RESEARCH DESIGNE AND TYPES:

1. TYPE OF RESEARCH:

a. Descriptive Research:
It is well structured. It can be taken in certain circumstances. When the
researcher is interested in knowing the characteristics of certain group such
as age, gender, occupation etc. Descriptive research has been used in this
project as there was requirement to categorize my sample size according to
age, gender, occupation, business type, size of business, market value of
businesses and target customer. The website was categorized into 16 parts
and 291 sub-categories, for e.g., Automobile, Personal Care and Apparel,
Food & beverages, daily needs, health & care, etc. are the categories of the
businesses which were registered on the website.

b. Exploratory Research:
The exploratory research is conducted to explore the research questions and
may or may not offer a final conclusion to the research conducted. It is
conducted to handle new problem areas which haven’t been explored
before. Exploratory research lays the foundation for more conclusive
research and data collection.

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 34 | P a g e


c. Explanatory Research:
Explanatory research or causal research, is conducted to understand the
impact of certain changes in existing standard procedures. Conducting
experiments is the most popular form of casual research.

RESEARCH AND ACTIVITIES DONE BY ISMR FOR THE


ADMISSION PROCESS

ISMR College carried out various activities during its admission procedure out of
which some proved effective and some could not prove that effective.
The list of activities carried out by the college is as follow:

1. GD-PI SESSIONS
2. ADVERTISEMENTS
3. CONSULTANTS
4. TELEPHONIC INTERVIEWS
5. PAMPHLETS
6. WALK-INS

TELECALLING

 This was one of the most important method used by ISMR.


 We used different types of data such as CAT, MAT, AIMA, XAT, etc.
 With the help of the data we use to call the students in different states and brief
them about our college.
 In this when we got the data we segregated the data in different parameters such
as:
o Seeing the past 3 years response from where the large number of
students has taken admission in our college we use to target only those
states.
o We filtered the data based on their percentages in their respective
entrance exams. We generally tapped the students whose percentiles
were in between 50-80.

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 35 | P a g e


o After the tele-calling is done we use to call the interested students for
the GD-PI session in their states only and in the leading cities.
o It was the first step to interact with the students and here we got a very
good response.

ANALYSIS/ FINDINGS

 During the tele-calling activity, I discovered that students from management


background, engineering background and commerce background were
interested from those of other background.
 Candidates sometimes doubted the authenticity of the calls thinking it to be
misleading calls.
 It takes a lot of time and devotion, one need to be patient and should not irritate
the prospects.
 The calls had to be made keeping in the mind the limit and the message were
kept precise.
 After making each call if the follow up calls were not made then the whole
efforts would go in vain.
 The other party should be given the opportunity to ask questions or clarify
doubts.
 Tele calling is a very important promotional activity and helps a lot in making
people aware of a particular product.

GD-PI SESSIONS

 ISMR has organised GD (Group Discussions) and PI (Personal Interview)


round in 21 different cities.
 The main intention of these rounds was to bring students from different states
under one roof.
 After interacting with the students through tele-calling we used to conduct the
GD-PI sessions in the leading cities.
 We use to conduct free GD-PI session but for that we use to first take their
registration on phone.
 Here, we got a mixed response.

CONSULTANTS

 Wherever we went for the GD-PI sessions in different states, there we were
looking for some consultants who can bring some admissions for our college.
 And we were successful in contacting some of the consultants. This was one of
the positive aspects because by this they can also earn as well as college will
also get more students.

TELEPHONIC INTERVIEWS

 This was the most important activity of all the activities.


 The main aim for the telephonic interview was to trace those students who
cannot make up for the GD-PI session due to some reasons.
 Through this we also covered many cities where we could not go for the GD-PI
sessions and we got the positive from it.
 After completing the GD-PI session in a particular state we use to conduct the
telephonic interview.
 Interviews were taken through telephones.

PAMPHLETS

 We distributed pamphlets through different sources such as in the newspaper,


through hand etc.
 We also dispatched in through letters, couriered them in different states to
students.
 It is a silent mode of communication.
 It is cost effective.

WALK-INS

 There were students who directly came to visit our campus with their parents
seeing these advertisements such as on internet, in newspaper on television,
through pamphlets Tele-calling, wom (word of mouth) etc.
 So, we handled them very efficiently so that they can be converted because they
were the most interested students and most likely to take admission in our
college.
 We use to counsel them with proper measures.

DIFFERENT SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND THE SELECTION


OF PROPER ONE FOR THE PROJECT:

There are three types of sampling:

 Random sampling
 Systematic sampling
 Stratified sampling

I have used the Stratified sampling techniques because I have to work upon different
random data.

Stratified sampling is the process of dividing members of the population into


homogeneous subgroups before sampling. The strata should be mutually exclusive:
every element in the population must be assigned to only one stratum. The strata
should also be collectively exhaustive: no population element can be excluded.

Sample size: - 100

CHAPTER 10

CONCLUSION

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 59 | P a g e


Conclusion
The study focuses on the impact of online and offline marketing strategies and analyses
how it helps the management institutes to create awareness about the education they
provide. It is understood that both popularity and usage can serve as key indicators in
understanding the factors affecting college students during the decision-making process
of the most significant area of the life.

The role of peer influence is highest among this age group while making decisions. The
reasons for this can be further investigated. The clear impact of social media cannot be
denied when it comes to the time devoted by this generation, yet it was surprising to
discover that the role of the former is relative poor as compared to direct feedback and
fact-based information.

The study clearly confirms that in the choice-making process for selection of
university, students give the highest weightage to personal communication.
Simultaneously, the results are explicitly positive for social media in the category of
non-personal marketing communication.

After the study we came across various parameter where we need to update ourselves.
These activities helped in preparing us our strategies and gave us an idea of the
response we will get there. Accordingly, we prepared ourselves & went on to create a
healthy impact on the students. We also learned a lesson where to invest the resources,
when to invest, what else we need to incorporate, what we need to leave etc. Biggest
learning was to use the time because this is the most critical factor that can affect the
outcome in big way.

There were many activities which were done in the cities where the Seminars,
Workshops, Group Discussion & Personal Interview of the students carried out as a
part of the research work to boost the attention of the students in advance so that they
will be having a curiosity & will turn up for the same.

Offline Marketing is the easy way to understand and connect to students and let them
know about the curriculum we provide. The confusions and doubts can be cleared on
the spot, also students get to know the atmosphere they would get after joining the
institutes.

RECOMMENDATIONS

STUDY ON ONLINE AND OFFLINE MARKETING STRATERGIES 61 | P a g e


Recommendation

 The branding of ISMR in various cities was done largely by print media i.e.
Newspaper, Magazine, and by Tele-calling, Hoardings, Banner and
broadcasting modes should have been incorporated.
 Manpower should be increased so that the distribution of workload can be done
effectively.
 Visits in nearby cities should have been done in different phases. i.e. Nagpur,
Bhopal, Patna are near to each other so the visit of these two cities must be mad
in different phases so that if some students are not able to attend the GD-PI on
the given date in one city can re-appear on another date by covering the
distance between the two cities.
 College should concentrate more on online portals for contacting students as it
is a broad platform.
 More use of internet marketing should be done.
 Advertising through social media should increase to increase the base of
students.
 More collaboration with education portals.
