Enrollment Marketing Summit

Starts:  Mar 3, 2022 09:00 AM (ET)
Ends:  Apr 7, 2022 01:00 PM (ET)


There’s never been a more important time for front line marketers to embrace their roles at schools. But in order for you to distinguish your school from your competitors, you need to clearly demonstrate student learning, engagement, and outcomes. And the best way to accomplish that is by coaching your entire team to become differentiators.

The Enrollment Marketing Summit was designed for just that purpose. You’ll learn first hand from experts in the field how you can enhance enrollment through marketing communications plans that will resonate with your audience.
You’ll learn how you can:
  • Communicate enrollment goals, trends, and challenges to your head, board, school leadership team, and school community
  • Employ techniques to improve your verbal, non-verbal, and written skills
  • Leverage technology tools that will assist in implementing your marketing and communications plans
  • Apply effective strategies to better communicate with families
  • Create procedures to communicate sensitive information with tact while ensuring privacy

Flexible Format with Weekly Access to the Experts

This virtual event will provide participants with easily digestible, on-demand learning opportunities throughout March. The recorded content and resources are there for you when you are available, so there is no need to worry about making your schedule fit.

Experts and practitioners will conduct weekly live forums related to that week's content. They will give you and your colleagues a chance to lean in to what was shared, making each idea work for you. Additional conversations with our subject matter experts will focus on the big picture to help you plan and execute with more significant impact.

As admissions professionals, we know the hustle: give tours, interview students, process paperwork, enroll students, review data. And then do it over and over and over again.

What if your school knew:

  • What prospective families valued most often when selecting a school for their child?
  • What people were really saying about your school: the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly?
  • What factors actually drive your enrollment now and in the future?
  • What your optimal tuition price point should be, relative to your value to your audience?
Market research uncovers exactly what your audiences are thinking about your school. Leveraging data from a well-designed market research study can be a game-changer for a school. Join us to demystify the basics of market research and share how best to use it to inform a more effective marketing strategy.
