However, promotion strategy needs to be carried out to communicate educational services to the community in order to influence individuals school selection decisions. In this study, there are four variables in the promotional mix element. This research is intended to determine the effectiveness of marketing which is influenced by changes in marketing functions. The data collection method in this study was carried out by distributing questionnaires to the parents whose their children study in the Maitreyawira Playgroup/Kindergarten School in Batam and considered as the new service user who experience the service. The data analysis was conducted into stages such as F test, t test, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that WOM (word of mouth) has an influence on Maitreyawira Playgroup/Kindergarten school selection decisions, while e-WOM (electronic word-of-mouth) does not influence the decision to choose Maitreyawira Playgroup/Kindergarten schools.
