🌱 What This Means for Advertisers

Highly Active Audience

Every month, tens of thousands of parents and education buyers spend nearly 3 minutes per session exploring OpenClass.

That’s ample time for your banner or promotion to make a lasting impression.

Strong Organic Discovery

The majority of our users come from organic Google searches, meaning they find us naturally while actively searching for schools, suppliers, or education information.
This ensures your ad is placed in front of people who are already interested in what you offer — not random browsers.

Steady New User Growth

With 29 000 new users in one month, your campaigns reach a constantly renewing pool of parents and students — ideal for schools and businesses targeting upcoming intakes or back-to-school seasons.

High Intent Traffic

Organic visitors are among the most valuable because they are actively looking to make decisions — whether choosing a school, buying uniforms, or seeking academic support.
Advertising here means showing up right where buying and enrolment decisions are made.

💬 Facebook Community Insights

Our Facebook group isn’t just large — it’s highly active. Between 8 October and 5 November 2025, the OpenClass community recorded over 62,000 active members, with daily activity peaks of more than 24,000 users interacting through posts, comments, and reactions.

 

📈 Engagement Snapshot

  • 62,233 active members within 28 days

  • Consistent daily activity across education discussions, recommendations, and Q&As

  • Parents constantly asking for school suggestions, application guidance, and trusted service providers

  • High interaction on admin-endorsed posts and group images

 

🔍 What This Means for Advertisers

This isn’t a dormant Facebook group — it’s a dynamic marketplace of ideas, questions, and decisions about schools, uniforms, tuition, and education services.

Your advert or group image post doesn’t get buried — it’s seen, discussed, and shared by parents while they are actively making choices.

With over 110,000 total members and a core of 62,000+ active participants monthly, OpenClass offers one of the most engaged parent communities in Zimbabwe.


Brands that advertise here benefit from word-of-mouth amplification, as parents often tag others, forward information, or directly message advertisers for details.

💬 WhatsApp Community Advertising Access

OpenClass operates 11 fully subscribed WhatsApp groups, each packed with engaged parents discussing schools, fees, admissions, and education-related products daily.

 

These are not broadcast channels — they’re real conversations happening in real time, where advertisers can join, interact, and respond directly to interested parents.

 

🔥 Key Highlights

  • 11 full & active WhatsApp groups across Zimbabwe

  • Thousands of daily messages from parents and schools sharing updates and recommendations

  • Advertisers get unlimited posting access during their campaign period

Advertising in OpenClass WhatsApp groups gives you something few platforms can — immediate connection to your target audience. Instead of waiting for clicks, you get:

  • Instant feedback from parents,

  • Real-time conversations, and

  • Direct leads straight from engaged community members.

It’s the most personal and interactive way to promote your school or education business in Zimbabwe.
