"You have to have a good product. Don't
try to.sell a poor school," he advised, '`Tune

Make your first impression an impressive

advertisements used by private schools and
other learning centres. -
"I don't knock the private and separate
schools for getting out and communicating
as• much as they can. We can learn from
them," he noted.

does not have to be a costly venture; but it
should be a priority aim within the school
system: He further noted that•the first rule
in marketing is''.do a good job" and the se:•
Gond rule is ."tell everyone you've doini; 21
good job." • •
