What We Teach Our Wheaton College Students
Inbound marke0ng is drama0cally more effec0ve than tradi0onal promo0on
Prospects will seek you out if you provide something they value when they are in the market
Nurturing leads requires authen0city, relevance, respect and 0me
Marke0ng automa0on has exploded marke0ng capabili0es and effec0veness
You can now measure the ROI of many marke0ng ac0vi0es

Best Practices Move from “Guessing Better”…
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
Guessing Better…
Fair: Direct Mail and Email Blasts
Good: Social Monitoring
BeAer: Predic0ve Modeling
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
…To “Responding Better”
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
From “Dead End Marketing”…
“We’ll target them eight 0mes. If they don’t respond by then, we move on…”
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
“Dead End” Problems
The Money Runs Out
The List Gets Bloated
Diminishing Returns on Frequency
Millennial Immunity to Adver0sing
The “Spooky” Problem with Retarge0ng
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
To “Perpetual Marketing”
“We’ll be there whenever they take an ac0on that signals interest: One week, one month, one year, three years from now….”
(and it doesn’t cost more)
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
What If…
…you could reach prospec0ve students other schools haven’t priori0zed (specialized, younger, etc)?
…you could automate contacts in high schoolers’ junior and senior years un0l they contact admissions?
…you could understand “ghost” applicants—those who called and applied but didn’t fill out forms?
…you could use data to determine popularity of majors or programs within specific student segments?
ConfidentialC. Grant & Company
What If……you could use behavioral targe0ng (e.g. ac0ons versus “opens”) for remarke0ng?
…you could give points of entry to your school apart from only admissions office contacts?
…you could create truly individualized, one-‐to-‐one marke0ng programs based on prospect interests and behaviors?
…your could integrate all school content—blogs, social, email, and premium content—into the same plaEorm with a common dashboard and metrics?

Schools relies on low-‐credibility content sources to make their case online
Regent and Liberty adver0se aggressively and appear in some organic search results; an inconsistent mix of schools appear
