Brand building, while a very corporate, is increasingly being used in context to schools. With an increase in competition, many schools are investing in building a brand for themselves. Earlier, good schools were known by word of mouth, but today, schools are feeling the need to go out there and market themselves. Starting with hoardings, to advertisements in print and on television and to school buses having school information printed on them. Schools are employing several methods to build a brand for themselves. All these methods give parents who are trying to find a school for their children the information that schools want to give them. But to build a genuine brand for themselves, schools need to give these parents the information that they require to make informed decisions while finding a school for their children.
