Script template

60-second coaching advertisement video script template

  • 0-3 seconds — Hook: "Class 10 students — yeh galti mat karna" / "JEE me 100+ score chahiye? Ye dekh lo." Hook must promise value or create curiosity.
  • 3-15 seconds — Problem: Parent's pain — "50 hazaar fees dene ke baad bhi result nahi aaya? Reason yeh hai..."
  • 15-35 seconds — Solution: Introduce your coaching. Teacher face on camera, institute name, 2-3 unique points.
  • 35-50 seconds — Social proof: Show real student (with parent permission) saying "Main 85% se 95% ho gaya / AIR 1,200 aaya." 15 seconds max.
  • 50-60 seconds — Call to action: "Play Store pe [Institute Name] search karo, app install karo, free demo class attend karo. Number screen pe hai."

Shot list

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a coaching advertisement video cost in India?

DIY phone-only: ₹0. Professional videographer: ₹5,000-15,000 for a 60-second ad. Agency: ₹25,000-80,000. 90% of institutes we see do phone-only and get better results than agency (more authentic).

What's the ideal length for a coaching advertisement video?

Instagram reels: 15-30 seconds. Instagram / YouTube ads: 30-60 seconds. WhatsApp status: 15-30 seconds. Longer kills completion rate.

Should I be in the coaching ad video myself (as the teacher)?

Yes — parents trust teachers they can see. 80% of high-performing coaching ads have the teacher on camera at some point. Authentic beats polished.

Do I need good lighting / mic for coaching advertisement videos?

Window light + ₹500 lapel mic is enough. Don't spend ₹30,000 on lighting setup — parents aren't grading you on cinematography. They're grading trust.

How do I avoid my ad looking cheap?

(1) Clean audio, (2) steady phone (use a ₹200 phone stand), (3) well-lit face, (4) subtitles (40% watch on mute), (5) institute logo corner watermark, (6) clear CTA at end.

Can I use AI voice-over for coaching ads?

Works for explainer / animated ads but feels fake for testimonials. Keep testimonials in real voices (parent/student) and AI-voice for narrated parts if needed.

How often should I refresh coaching ad videos?

Every 2-3 weeks for running Instagram ads (prevents ad fatigue). Evergreen organic reels can run 3-6 months before redoing.
