Marketing for a Web-Based Master's Degree Program in Light of Marketing Mix Model
Pan, Cheng-Chang
Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, v15 n1 Spr 2012
The marketing mix model was applied with a focus on Web media to re-strategize a Web-based Master's program in a southern state university in U.S. The program's existing marketing strategy was examined using the four components of the model: product, price, place, and promotion, in hopes to repackage the program (product) to prospective students (customers) and to offset the impact of dissolved partnership with its state-funded coordinating body, which carried a stronger brand image than the university where the program was housed. Challenges and recommendations were addressed.
