As the back-to-school season approaches, subscription-based educational services have a significant opportunity to increase subscriber volumes. Students and their families actively seek resources to simplify the learning experience during this time. At Smadex, with nine years in the industry and strong partnerships with marketers, payment aggregators, and mobile content providers, we are experienced enough to share strategic insights and showcase growth opportunities in the education sector to help you achieve your goals this season.

Today, subscription-based mobile services are really important for learners of all ages in the ever-changing digital world. These offer all sorts of educational content that’s easy to access and fun to engage with, making learning way more exciting. Let’s dive into some of the educational categories that are changing the way students learn:

• Educational Content offers subscription-based access to diverse business, technology, humanities, and more courses. These platforms could also focus on STEM education, including math tutorials, coding challenges, and science simulations to simplify complex concepts.
• Language ones, where students can access structured lessons and interactive exercises, help them maintain their practice and progress, ensuring continuity in their learning journey.
• Digital Textbooks, including study guides and other educational materials, are available on a single device, helping students have everything in one.
• Gaming, leveraging the power of interactive gameplay to create engaging educational experiences and making learning enjoyable and interactive for students of all ages.
• Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) educational tools provide immersive learning environments, offering unique and impactful ways to explore subjects like science and geography.

To create effective and impactful educational campaigns, consider incorporating the following essential strategies:

• DCB Integration: Make sure that DCB (Direct Carrier Billing) is fully integrated to allow users to pay for their subscriptions directly through their mobile phone bills. This will make it easier for users to sign up and pay for services.
• Different campaigns for different audiences: Knowing what your audience likes and expects is important. Targeting your campaigns can help you connect better with your audience and get the best results.
• UX Optimization: Make sure your platform works well on mobile so students can easily use it. Also, consider who will use your platform and make it easy for them based on their age and interests.
• Constant measuring and analyzing: It’s important to track the performance of educational campaigns using relevant metrics such as engagement, conversion rates, and churn rates. This data will help you to optimize future campaigns and improve results over time!

Back-to-school season is close, presenting unique growth opportunities in the mobile subscription services (mVAS) sector. By leveraging diverse educational content, integrating Direct Carrier Billing (DCB), tailoring campaigns to specific audiences, optimizing user experience, and continuously measuring performance, your campaigns can effectively engage students and their families, ensuring a successful and impactful back-to-school season.
