 * __What are the main problems?__**

Although BISS have its official website and brochure that can catch new teachers’ attention, but there are several limitation exist so far.


 * 1) BISS have its own brochure, but it’s not the best method to catch other teachers’ attention easily, because it is offline method. Therefore, brochure is not good enough method to catch attraction.
 * 2) Although BISS has its own website, it does not have any eye-catching multimedia such as video advertisement which can catch visitors’ or new teachers’ attention. BISS requires good looking, fast-buffering, but realistic videos.
 * 3) Many other schools are advertising by using unrealistic photos that are modified by photo shop; however, BISS don’t want to do such an unrealistic thing. Therefore, BISS have to come out good enough multimedia in order to compete with them. Of course, without criticizing them.
