Description

Communication preferences continue to change in favor of online rather than printed communications. This 2-part webinar series asks you to imagine a world without printed recruitment communications, a world of traditional websites, e-readers, social networks… with a continuing need for personal contact by admissions counselors and recruiters.

In this new world, the key to successful recruitment is the effectiveness of your “post-click” marketing communications plan. What happens after someone first discovers your school from a search on Google, Facebook, MySpace or YouTube? We’ll explore the details of an electronic communications plan, using examples from colleges and universities that are already starting to move effectively in that direction.

The series unfolds in 4 steps: (1) new and emerging technologies; (2) the first “stealth” visit; (3) from online inquiry to campus visit and application; (4) final steps to enrollment conversion.

Objectives

What to expect from emerging communication technologies and online search habits, from e-readers to smartphones.
How people will find you online and the most important content they want to know at the first visit.
How to encourage “stealth” visitors to reveal themselves and become an online inquiry.
How and how often to contact your potential students as you move through the recruitment cycle.
How colleges and universities already are adapting to the new world (specific examples will be shown).
