Conclusion Your existing and potential students fall into particular groups or segments, characterised by their 'needs'. Identifying these groups and their needs through market research, and then addressing those needs more successfully than your competitors, should be one of the key elements of your marketing strategy. You can then create a marketing strategy that makes the most of your strengths and matches them to the needs of the students you want to target. For example, if a particular group of students is looking for quality of the curriculum first and foremost, then any marketing activity aimed at them should draw attention to the high quality of your curriculum.
