Introduction
Valley College is a multi-campus school that offers career education at 5 physical campuses
throughout West Virginia and Ohio as well as Online programs. Since partnering with Enrollment
Resources, Valley has seen the following results:
-
- Increased Enrollment
- Reduced Cost Per Enrollment
- Eliminated Reliance on Outside Ad Vendors
Valley originally worked with Enrollment Resources in 2012, but left the partnership after one of the
school’s co-owner’s wanted to work with a marketing company they had a personal relationship with.
“Our experience with them [the other marketing company] was we were bringing ideas
to them versus them coming to us and saying, this is what we’ve tested. This is what
we know works. Whereas with you guys, you guys test everything and you know
what converts.”
Anthony Palmieri,
Director of Marketing, Valley College
The Plan: Targeted & Measurable
When Valley College returned as a partner with Enrollment Resources, the first order of business was focus. With their previous marketing company, the school spread their advertising budget across a variety of mediums including things like grocery cart and bus bench ads, which were difficult to track. The school also bought leads from third party lead vendors that often sell a single lead to multiple schools. This strategy left Valley with low quality leads and almost no way to measure the effectiveness of any specific marketing expense.
Enrollment Resources implemented a focused Digital Marketing strategy that included:
-
- Implementation of Enrollment Resources’ best practice website template
- Use of Enrollment Resources’ Lead Funnels powered by proprietary software Virtual Adviser on website and landing pages
- Complete overhaul of PPC campaigns
Valley eliminated ad spend outside of the focused digital marketing strategy proposed by Enrollment Resources.

nightmare. You guys are helping us generate more of our own inquiries that are much
more interested and have a much higher conversion rate. And it’s working.”
