Many customers ask me if Apple Education can send emails, and the answer is no!
Here’s the official Apple description and link
Due to the organizational focus and to protect user privacy, the services listed below are not available:

As you can see above, it is possible to do SMS marketing via iMessage.
Theoretically Apple k12 has unlimited users and you can create very many users for SMS marketing.
Disadvantage: Apple ID requires an Apple device to activate, which costs a lot of money even if you buy a lot of second-hand Apple devices, but this is also an advantage!
Advantage: iMessage marketing, compared to email marketing, means, high threshold, low competition, high delivery rate, high reach, good feedback.
To summarize, all the rest are pros, except for the fact that it’s expensive.
