Elementary schools. High schools. Colleges. Graduate programs. Alumni relations.
If you are involved in any way with education, you know that personal attention is highly effective when communicating with students, parents, and alumni. By reaching your audience with personalized text and images in e-mail, print, and URLs, your message is far more powerful than any blanket communications effort. The difference to your school? A much greater ROI on your marketing dollars.

Here are some of the typical questions educators ask about personalized communications:

Q: How is personalized communications being used in education today?
A: Very effectively. For instance, in college recruiting, rather than mailing out stock recruiting brochures, some innovative colleges reach potential students via attention-grabbing personalized postcards and lead them back to a personalized URL. Once applicants select their areas of interest, a PDF of their customized brochure is created right before their eyes, and a top quality print version arrives in the mail days later. Another example is student yearbooks. Some high schools are now offering students the ability to go on-line and select images and text, so they can create an entirely unique yearbook. These are just some of the possibilities, and many more exist from kindergarten all the way to alumni relations.

Q: What are the key benefits to personalized communications campaigns?
A: With personalized communications campaigns, response rates of up to 30% are not unrealistic. Compare this with a typical “good” return of 2% from a static campaign. So for your school or university, that means a higher rate of applications and greater matriculation for your marketing dollars.
