  • Marketing Strategy should be integrated for the overall OSE operations to market the message, products, students, development effort, and other aspects of overall OSE operations.
  • Until a large pool of customers is built and is scaling by itself (word of mouth marketing - which applies only to transformative, ethical products), deliberate effort is required to market products. The typical cost of customer acquisition is 8-12% of overall budget or revenue, but as high as 40%. [1]
