Schoolhouse Marketing Membership Program

Flexible, Budget-Friendly Promotion

Pick the membership program that fits your marketing goals and budget, and your payments are spread out equally over the year. You will benefit from significant discounts on advertising and have various platforms with which to consistently spread your message to the homeschool market. No need to wait for last-minute ad spots with remnant pricing. You can plan out your campaigns and still get a low price.

Easier Planning

With the once-a-year contract negotiation out of the way, you will be able to focus on placing ads in front of homeschoolers around the globe throughout the year in a way that matches your promotion schedule.

Solutions to Your Marketing Challenges

We created this membership program as a result of client feedback about the challenges of staying within budget while still scheduling out consistent ads.

With customizable and predetermined packages to choose from, you can select a level of promotion that works for your company and budget.

Do you like to create your own package or would you rather choose one “Off the Shelf”? We offer both options. First, let’s look at the details of the Build-Your-Own Membership Package.

Build-Your-Own Membership Packages

FOUR STEPS to a successful Build-Your-Own Schoolhouse Marketing Membership Program:  

Step 1  You choose a Build-Your-Own Level (Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, or Diamond) based on your budget. 

Step 2  You select from the wide variety of á la carte ads, ranging across different advertising platforms that add up to the allotted package value. (See DETAILS below.)  

Step 3  We apply a specified discount and set up a 12-month payment plan for the final package cost.

Step 4 You have now locked in low prices for a year of advertising to homeschooling families!

DETAILS

  • Choose your Preferred Ads from a selected list of á la carte ad offers to create your CUSTOM annual advertising campaign.
  • Mix and match ads, equaling an allotted “Value,” according to the package level.
  • Create a custom ad package that contains the ad platforms you prefer (magazine, inbox/eBlast, social media, etc.).
  • Apply the specified discount (according to package level), for an annual discounted package cost.
  • Set up a 12-month auto-payment plan (no interest), and make affordable monthly payments on your custom annual marketing campaign.
  • Schedule your ads throughout the year, according to your preference.
  • PLUS, you will receive quarterly “Perks,” which are additional Member Only advertising options (vary per package level) that increase the overall value of your package, at no additional cost to you!
