The Competitive Edge: How Drone Footage Elevates School Marketing During Open Day Season
When open day season arrives, schools across the country are all vying for the attention of prospective families. Your website, social media channels, and printed materials become the front line for making that all-important first impression. In a sea of similar images and stock photography, how can your school stand out?
That’s where drone photography and video make all the difference.
Creating an Instant Connection
Aerial footage provides a sweeping, cinematic view of your school — the kind of perspective that sparks curiosity and excitement instantly. Parents can see the size of the playing fields, the layout of the buildings, and even how close you are to local landmarks, all before they’ve stepped foot on campus.
By showcasing your facilities from above, you give families a visual overview that static ground photos simply can’t achieve. This isn’t just imagery — it’s an invitation.
Making Your Open Day Campaigns Unmissable
Whether you’re creating a short social media teaser or a full virtual tour, drone content helps your marketing rise above the noise.
Website banners — greet visitors with an engaging aerial sweep of your grounds
Social media reels — short, shareable clips that highlight your best spaces
Email invitations — a still image from a drone shot grabs attention in a crowded inbox
By integrating drone imagery into your open day campaigns, you position your school as forward-thinking, creative, and proud of its environment.
Standing Out in Competitive Local Markets
In towns where several schools are competing for enrolment, first impressions can be the deciding factor. High-quality aerial content shows that you invest in both your facilities and your image. It sets an expectation of quality and care — the same qualities parents want for their children’s education.
