Teach Abroad Thailand Forced to Increase TEFL Course Fees to Combat Soaring Online Marketing Costs
(PRWEB) August 17, 2013 -- Teach Abroad Thailand Director, Jimmy Crangle, believes the recent upgrade to Google Adwords will hurt education businesses in the short term. “The Google enhanced upgrade means we are forced to spend more of our budget on mobile ads even though we know from extensive testing that mobile ads don’t necessarily convert as well as desktop ads” claims Jimmy. “We are prepared to ride the storm, but some of our franchisees and affiliates are already feeling the pinch”. http://www.teachabroadthailand.com
Google’s migration to new enhanced campaigns have effectively increased online marketing costs for advertisers by an average 14% in just three weeks, although some sectors are seeing much higher costs. Teach Abroad Thailand, like many educational organisations, invests heavily in online marketing.
AdWords campaign changes means marketers now use one campaign, instead of separate campaigns, to target desktop, tablets and smartphones individually. The campaign bids across all areas, although the mobile percentage bid can be adjusted. Overall, higher Cost Per Clicks (CPCs) means more profit for Google and less for advertisers.

Jimmy Crangle goes on to say, “There’s not much else we can do but to increase our fees proportionally until we run more tests and figure out the new options. We will however continue to add value to our TEFL experience so our customers will still be delighted with our high quality programs and excellent customer service. If mobile ads become better targeted, then it could actually be a good thing in the long term.”
