MARKETING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL MARKETING

Abstract

Every company has to choose between two paths: continuously growing and being a leader in the existing industry, or facing challenges and disappearing in the existing market. Successful companies pay more attention to their marketing strategies and activities. It is very important for universities to analyze and determine the target market, the group of aims, the requirements of the target group, and the best way to communicate with them (Omboi and Mutali, 2011, p. 176). They have to think about their brand equity and how to strengthen it in the local and international markets (Royo-Vela and Hünermund, 2016, p. 160). This paper has two objectives: to explore a literature review on Higher Education Marketing and to identify the roles of traditional and digital marketing in the area of Higher Education. The paper ends with recommendations and a conclusion.
