(For suppliers) How to develop a content strategy that educates and builds trust with your audience.

Updated: Dec 2

For education suppliers looking to break into international schools or even for those with an existing presence in the sector, one of the most effective strategies you can implement to build your brand and grow your business is to create engaging educational content that positions you as the go-to experts in your field.


Focusing on providing insightful, valuable content that addresses the unique challenges and needs of international schools can build trust and credibility, ultimately increasing your chances of forming long-lasting relationships with schools worldwide.


International schools operate in a complex, diverse environment. They cater to students from very broad cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds, making it essential for you to understand these complexities when engaging with their audience. The key to successful marketing in such a competitive space is to regularly provide resources that help international schools improve education outcomes, streamline operations, and support their diverse student bodies.


Focusing on educating your target audience about areas that align with your services or products can be a very effective strategy, and over time, as your content educates and informs your audience, trust builds, and you'll become a go-to resource when a school is ready to invest.


Consistency and relevance is key - by consistently offering helpful, relevant content, you will forge deeper connections with your audience and set you and your offering apart from competitors.


Key Takeaways:


  1. Focus on value-driven content: you should look to create content that educates your audience on topics relevant to their challenges, helping them improve their teaching and operations

  2. Understand the international school context: your content strategy should cater to the unique needs of international schools

  3. Offer insights that build trust: offering regular valuable insights will build trust over time - a good content strategy will nurture relationships and position you as trusted partners

  4. Consistency is key: to build long-term credibility, you should look to consistently produce high-quality, relevant content that keeps your audience engaged and informed

  5. Use a multi-format approach: look to use diverse content formats if possible, this could include blogs, sharing thought leadership articles, and even inviting your prospective audience to join discussions and live events
