When it comes to promoting schools, marketing is often viewed as a luxury rather than a necessity. Budgets are tight, resources are stretched, and external support is frequently perceived as out of reach. However, effective marketing is crucial to building reputation, increasing enrolments, and fostering community engagement. The good news? With Datum’s affordable print marketing solutions, schools can access the same creative, print, and digital expertise trusted by national brands — without the hefty price tag.
