I really wasn’t looking for a marketing company…realizing your company’s expertise I saw the bigger picture of what you guys could do for us. So, it kinda seemed like a no brainer.
Cosmetology & Spa Academy
Founded in 1980 by acclaimed hair stylist and salon owner Ned Halimi, Cosmetology & Spa Academy has since grown to four campuses in Illinois and offers programs in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics and beauty instruction.
The Challenge:
Increase enrollments at both legacy established campuses and two new locations. The beauty school needed to generate interest and enrollments in new markets as they pushed to open two new locations while also keeping up enrollments at two established campuses.
Actions:
1. Implement the full suite of Lead Funnels and other conversion tools powered by Virtual Adviser, including:
-
- Career Training Readiness Lead Funnel
- High Conversion Contact Form
- Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Toolbar
- Apply Now & Book a Tour Forms
- Virtual Admissions Interview Pathway
2. Convert the school’s website to the Enrollment Resources proven high conversion website template.
Results:
-
- 74% Increase in Website Leads
- Exceeded Lead Projections
- Increased Support for Admissions
“You generate leads and take leads all the way through to enrollment. From the top of the funnel to the bottom of the funnel, you guys do it all basically for enrolling students.”

Online Lead Generation Director, Cosmetology & Spa Academy
Initial Lead Boost
Cosmetology & Spa Academy partnered with Enrollment Resources in December 2019. After a review of the then two campus school’s website, Conversion Experts at Enrollment Resources quoted the school a number of projected leads they could expect from their website after the implementation of the Lead Funnel tools. Lead Funnels were implemented on the school’s site, including integration with the school’s CRM system, and the number of leads generated exceeded the projected quote.
Opportunity in Adversity
Shortly after partnering with Enrollment Resources, like so many schools in early 2020, Cosmetology and Spa Academy was forced to temporarily suspend on-campus activity due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The team at Enrollment Resources immediately set Cosmetology & Spa Academy up with a customized Virtual Admissions Interview Pathway to help the school efficiently pivot to a remote interview that maintained the quality, transparency and level of support offered in-person.
Increased lead flow and the ability to maintain strong connection with prospective students provided welcome confidence for Cosmetology & Spa Academy as they sought to expand. In the face of economic and industry challenges, the school has grown from two campuses to four.
A High Performance Website Makeover
In August of 2023, the Cosmetology and Spa Academy website was moved to the Enrollment Resources high converting website template. In the first month, lead volume jumped by 45%. That increase has continued to steadily climb in subsequent months to settle at an average of:
74% Increase in Website Leads
“I really wasn’t looking for a marketing company, but after I saw the Career Training Readiness pathway and then talking to Sterling and realizing your company’s expertise I saw the bigger picture of what you guys could do for us. So, it kinda seemed like a ‘no brainer’.
