SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY

Big idea
Strategy Funnel Fit Yield
Problem solved or question answered How do we do things that are real institutional changes–that aren’t just marketing–to meet our admission goals? How do we keep our funnel large enough to be competitive? How do we maintain quality information about our applicant pool? In an age where we have more applicants we know less about, how do we attract the right kind of student for our institution? With students applying to more schools, how do we guarantee they take a seat at our school? Trends Institutional research Robust analytics for web assessment High school teacher / counselor engagement College fairs Mobile solutions including mobile applications Paid search / SEO Transaction design such as forms Routing design Shared applicant pools Branded sites Branded mobile Social media First year experience Integrated marketing Analytics to help measure who you should be most focused on 1 on 1 attention Personalization Social media Portals
