Internetting their appetites
According to Educational Communications UK’s director Nick Fuller,
teachers are becoming more open to marketing in the classroom thanks to
more subtle blending of the sales message and the educational content.
The technique is also being applied to parents to erode their resistance
to children using the internet. Andrew Jarvis of the website company @kidz
explained to delegates attending the Kidfood 2000 conference how to create
websites with ‘sticky content’ and the key words and phrases
(e.g. “educational”) which overcome parents’ fears.
The conference also discussed how to get children involved in e-commerce,
even when they had no credit card, by using ‘virtual money’
(notional payments) to participate in various interactive activities on
websites.
