New research: How quality discussions with prospective students impacts enrollment rate…
First point of contact with a potential student is the murky area where marketing ends and the admissions process begins. A weak process during this stage in the enrollment process can reduce revenues by as much as 30%. At Enrollment Resources (ER), we know that small process improvements throughout the enrollment process can result in retaining that revenue.
In this recorded conference call, Gregg Meiklejohn from ER and Martin Lind from Velocify share new research about the dynamics between the length of calls with inquiries and appointment set rate. What is the ideal call length? The answer might surprise you. We will also explore what is the best call length during the morning, afternoon and evening and the days of the week.
Check out this short (4:25 minute) video of Shane Sparks sharing some pearls of marketing wisdom at the 11th Annual Pacific Institute’s Best Practices and Business Conference in April 2014.
Shane discusses how fundamental your product offering is and the consequences of giving marketing to 3rd parties. Marketing is about “testing your way to the truth”, Shane shows some neat examples of split testing, including a 20% improvement conversion rate just by changing the color of a button on a call-to-action form.

How the Right Balance of Images & Copy on Your Website Can Mean a Big Return in Conversions
A number of us here at Enrollment Resources (ER) recently attended an interesting webinar put on by MarketingExperiments, an internet-based research lab dedicated to conducting experiments in optimizing sales and marketing processes. After the webinar, we got to talking about a topic that comes up again and again when we’re looking at and designing web pages: “Images vs. Copy.”
We’re always trying to help schools articulate their offering in a way that is clear, distinct, and speaks directly to the target market. Most often we do this through copy.
This webinar was a great reminder of the power that a good image can have (and the unfortunate power that a poor image can have too). Read more
Today, in the Higher Education field, in the area of marketing in particular, opportunities abound to leverage your time and money to increase school revenue. These points of leverage create results greater than what seems to be possible. Organically a School can typically grow 20-30% per year without a huge stress on infrastructure. Yet in growing organically, one can often get steamrolled by competitors who grab market share at a greater pace or simply lose the potential of a program opportunity. Nature abhors a vacuum. Slow organic growth particularly when rolling out a new program or geography often doesn’t do the trick in the cut and thrust world of marketing. Read more
