Are you in the private school’s business administration? Each business year the school will desire growth in terms of business revenue and the school’s profile. Sometimes, the school’s painting and maintenance requirements is overlooked in terms of how it influences the perceived value of the school and its impact on enrolment revenues and sponsorship income. You can increase your school’s income by leveraging the added value from your school’s painting and maintenance. We explain how this can help your school.
1. Get more people to say yes!
The painting and maintenance affects the first impression of your school. A great initial expression can allow the school to sell itself, rather than risking the opportunity to raise doubt into the minds of prospective parents. When parents and students walk into a school, they want to become immersed in the fantasy of sending their children to a good educational establishment. The paintwork and maintenance upkeep of the school may speed up the decision making process for parents to send their kids to your school.
2. A new and clean look can improve the perceived value of your school.
If you are looking for a quick way to improve the perceived value of a school, then a paint job can provide the cosmetic makeover that your school needs to be seen as one that projects prestige. Justifies why you can increase fees.
3. Minimise attrition with fewer excuses for parents to pull their children out of school.
The added confidence that parents and students have from the exterior and interior presentation can help with securing the long term commitment with school enrolments and reduce the rate of attrition through school leavers.
Attrition can be a big problem for schools long term revenue forecasting. The average student’s lifetime revenue value to the school diminishes and the costs associated with replacing those students can be high and further negatively impact the projected profit targets that both you and the school want to achieve.
4. Boosts confidence.
Ultimately, every person that is within the school environment needs to have the confidence that the school will provide a successful outcome. The maintenance of the school’s interior and exterior provides the perception of success for both students and teachers alike, and will further boost the morale of the school. Parents can have added confidence in the school and have no fear, regrets or doubts in the service that the school will be providing.
Furthermore, maintenance adds to the overall experience that can encourage recommendations to peers, family and hereditary enrolments. This can lead to thousands in added income of the lifetime value for the customers.
5. Boosts the school’s performance targets.
There have been several studies that show that teachers and students improve their performance when they are in a stimulating environment. The interior and exterior enhancements can compel students to improve their study habits, which will improve the school’s overall academic performance and can be used as a unique selling point for schools that can boost enrolments and further justify increased enrolment fees.
