Academic ERP Admissions/Recruiting/CRM
Today's college recruiting practices are characterized by highly sophisticated, data-driven marketing strategies. By segmenting markets, recruiters can gain keen insights into how students make college choices, thus targeting prospects most likely to select their institutions.
At the same time, students have become equally selective and demanding consumers who filter their direct mail, e-mail and banner ads while exploring websites and visiting colleges.
Analytical techniques and market research tools allow institutions to target effectively direct mail, off-campus visits or receptions, telemarketing and financial aid awards.
Technology adds new dimensions to recruitment practices used in marketing your institution and counseling students. Today, students routinely apply on online as the Internet plays an ever-increasing role in recruiting students while reducing costs for institutions.
