The situation

A well-established coaching institute for CA foundation and UPSC had always filled seats through word of mouth and flyers at colleges. A new batch of 200 seats needed to be filled in 6 weeks — and the traditional pipeline was not generating enough volume. They had a basic website, an inactive Facebook page, and a Google My Business profile. No ad account. No pixel. No CRM. Starting entirely from zero.

The strategy

Yunicon deployed a full-funnel Meta campaign targeting students aged 18-24 in Nagpur who had expressed interest in competitive exams, visited coaching-related pages, or were within 10km of the institute. Three audience sets: cold (interest-based), warm (website visitors via pixel), and hot (video viewers). Each stage had different creative and different messaging. Creatives featured real student success stories, faculty credentials, and a clear offer — free demo class.

How the campaign was structured
Day 1–3

Setup

Ad account creation, Meta pixel installed, audiences built, landing page built. Campaign ready to launch in 72 hours.

Day 4–10

Testing phase

6 ad creatives live, 3 audiences. Daily monitoring. Budget: ₹800/day. Identified top 2 creatives by day 7.

Day 11–25

Scale phase

Budget increased to ₹2,500/day on winning creatives. Retargeting launched for landing page visitors. Free demo class offer added as CTA.

Day 26–42

Close phase

Urgency-led creative — "42 seats remaining." WhatsApp follow-up for every demo class attendee. Batch closed on Day 41.

Why ₹48 per lead

The education sector average cost per lead in India via Meta ads is ₹180-220 for competitive exam coaching. Yunicon achieved ₹48 because of three decisions: hyperlocal targeting (not broad India — just Nagpur and a 20km radius), video creative with a real student testimonial (higher trust, lower CPM), and a free demo class as the CTA rather than a direct enrolment push. Lower friction at the top of the funnel = more leads at lower cost.

The full result

Over 42 days: 1,109 leads generated. 722 attended the free demo class. 200 confirmed enrolments — filling the batch entirely. Total ad spend: ₹53,280. Management fee: ₹42,000 (Yunicon Scale Ads package). Total investment: ₹95,280. Revenue from 200 enrolments at ₹45,000 per student: ₹90 lakh. Cost of acquisition per enrolled student: ₹476. ROI: 943×.

“

We had never run digital ads before. Yunicon set everything up, explained every number, and delivered a full batch in 6 weeks. The cost per student acquisition was less than what we used to spend printing flyers.
