Training centers (foreign languages, skills, IELTS, programming, etc.) depend on a continuous stream of new students . Each course needs a sufficient number of students to open, and the enrollment window is usually very short (2-4 weeks). Email marketing is the most effective tool for nurturing leads and converting registrations .
Why is Email Marketing Effective for Training?
| Channel | Cost/lead | Conversion rate | Characteristic |
|---|
| Facebook Ads | 20-50K/lead | 5-10% | Constant expenses |
| Zalo Broadcast | 500-1,000 VND/message | 3-5% | Limit the number of messages. |
| Email Marketing | ~100 VND/email | 15-25% | Lowest cost, highest ROI |
Email marketing has an average ROI of 42:1 — for every dollar spent, it yields 42 dollars in return.
