How Can Direct Response Marketing Deliver Education Leads & Increase Applications and Enrollments?
Innovation Ads was originally formed as an education lead generation agency to service academic institutions. As time went by, colleges and universities began demanding applications and enrollments rather than leads. We saw that most academic institutions needed help with the lead follow up process-so we built and refined a set of solutions that address not only lead generation, but lead conversion as well. The Enrollment Solutions Platform, or "ESP", is a unique platform that combines executive analysis and evaluation, with a dynamic lead generation and lead conversion system. The first step in initiating a campaign that generates more applications and enrollments is a thorough analysis of the existing enrollment process.
Analysis and Evaluation
Analysis is the firm bedrock beneath a successful enrollment marketing campaign . In order to establish a comprehensive foundation, our senior staff members work closely with you, in order to: define your current goals and market share; identify the most effective means for attracting and retaining new students; and help determine the appropriate budget for the projected enrollment goals.
Another pivotal piece of our analytic process is "Mystery Shopping"-a term that refers to an anonymous evaluation of the existing enrollment process. Members of our enrollment specialist team walk through your enrollment "funnel" from start to finish, in order determining where improvements can be made. Once analysis is complete, we begin to initiate contact with prospective students.
Initiate Student Contact through Lead Generation
We generate student interest by marketing across multiple channels. The direct response nature of our marketing process allows us to reach vast numbers of potential students, in a meticulous manner. Our large economies of scale in both the online and direct TV channels-combined with the direct response marketing and our tracking technologies-ensure that we're generating more highly qualified leads, for less money. Our direct response strategies include:
- Online Media Planning
- Online Media Buying
- Direct Response Television
- Creative Development
- Micro-Site Development
- Lead Remarketing
- Search Engine Optimization
- Trade Name Management
- Virtual Tours
Lead Conversion: Increase Student Enrollment with Our Prospective Student Conversion System (PSyC)
In addition to our lead generation capacities, we've created a unique lead conversion solution-the Prospective Student Conversion System (PSYC)-guarantees that your enrollment funnel is working as efficiently as possible. PSyC marries our lead generation capacities to our unique follow up marketing process.
Once we've initiated marketing campaigns, and begun to generate student interest, our enrollment specialists that work in The Academic Advising Center (TAAC) initiate outbound phone calls to interested students, and field the inbound phone calls that marketing campaigns generate. The Enrollment Specialists help the prospective student to apply.
In helping students to apply, our Enrollment Specialists gather important marketing information. They enter this critical feedback into our technological platform-Multi-channel Interactive marketing Database, or MIND-, which organizes and tracks the response that each marketing campaign generates. Once the information is in our system, our technology optimizes your campaign according to the response that each piece of marketing material generates.
Our technology informs our Client Services Team which channels and campaigns are generating interested students, and which are not. Our client services team reacts to the success/failure of each phone call by boosting media allocation to successful campaigns/channels, and decreasing allocation to the channels that are not successful.
The must exciting feature of PSYC is the Real Time Optimization that takes place. We're able to reduce marketing costs because we immediately know which advertising campaigns work, and which don't: we're able to cut campaigns that don't work, and boost campaigns that do work, in a real time manner. This removes a large portion of the "x-factor" from marketing to prospective students.
