Key Learnings
• Be responsive!• Target audience + message for best results – but not too targeted.• Geo-targeting works! • Cost per impression ads: Google outperformed all other channels. • Cost per click ads: Run of network ads worked well but really need to pay
attention to list of websites for placement. • Mobile interactions increased with every phase, from 4% to just over 21%
traffic. • E-blasts netted the lowest rate of return. • After the landing page and Future Students home page, pageview counts
were highest for program and admission requirements pages. • LinkedIn requires very specific messaging. Impressions and clickthroughs
spiked with key phrases.

InternationalCase Study

Where in the world do we start?
• Social networks have no obstructions and are focused on specific groups (rather than physical events)… leads to 61% lower cost per student lead (Darrup-Boychuck, 2009)
• The approximate cost of recruiting one in-state student is $200, one out-of-state student is $500 and one international student is $1,000, without including staff salaries. Meanwhile, the cost of online promoting, using “pay-per-click” or mobile marketing, is $119.50 per any enrolled students regardless of the students’ countries of origin. (Baxton and Foley Study, 2009)
