Enrollment Growth Strategy

Are your enrollments growing as anticipated and among the right kinds of students? If not, we can isolate the specific reasons why. Are you targeting the right students in the right way? Is there something about your product that needs to change? Is your marketing not optimized? Does your approach to lead nurturing need to change? Do you have the right product portfolio?

Our Deliverable

Eduvantis produces a detailed, data-based, prioritized roadmap for what needs to be done at your institution to improve enrollment performance in any or all of your programs.

Our Unique Value

We have proven methodologies, proprietary data sets, benchmarks, and deep industry expertise, developed based on extensive work with schools around the world. This allows us to provide the depth and clarity of information needed to make decisions confidently and support effective case-making to leadership, staff, and faculty.

New Program Opportunity Assessment

Most schools seek new revenue streams as their standard programs mature. However, launching new programs in today’s hyper-competitive environment—without knowing the true size of your available market, what it will take to win market share (with your particular brand), and the marketing costs needed to do so—is a formula for disappointment and wasted resources.

Our Deliverable

Eduvantis produces a data-driven evaluation of the opportunity that may (or may not) be available to you, providing specific clarity for all stakeholders (faculty, administration, marketing, and admissions) regarding what will be required for success.

Our Unique Value

We bring an informed outside perspective to the decision-making around launching a program, knowing exactly which market indicators to study and what they mean to help calibrate expectations and drive strategy to maximize programmatic and portfolio success.

Market Research

Put simply, if you are not monitoring and measuring ever-changing consumer preferences, brand perceptions, and stakeholder experiences, your competitive advantage will decline. Without this information, on what do you base decisions and assessments of quality?

Our Deliverable

Through our proprietary national and regional benchmarks, coupled with effective, efficient online data gathering techniques, Eduvantis produces detailed-yet-accessible actionable reports on how you specifically are faring on a spectrum of critical dimensions of competition relative to your competitors.

Our Unique Value

Eduvantis is continuously surveying management education markets over time. Based on the size and depth of our sample sizes, we can mine unique value from this market intelligence, benchmark your school against competitors, and against yourself from prior years.

Annual Marketing Strategy & Planning

Optimizing your precious marketing dollars through a well-formulated and high-performing marketing program is now a mandate. That requires systematic market understanding, application of benchmarks, mining of campaign performance data—from lead generation through the funnel journey—an attribution framework, the right use of technology, market research and other inputs that many schools simply don’t use or have available when planning for each recruitment cycle.

Our Deliverable

Eduvantis serves as your “school expert” partner, collaborating with your team through a process of data gathering and analysis, measurement of prior performance and conclusion-drawing about sources of improvement, determination of strategy based on market data and best practices, consideration of your particular competitive environment, and other factors. The outcome is a clear, data-based marketing system and approach in which you can have confidence.

Our Unique Value

No firm has done more sophisticated marketing planning for schools than Eduvantis and no firm has more data regarding prospect preferences across product categories, digital search trends and preferences, benchmarks, and what is effective in the school space. This simply leads to the development of more successful and measurable marketing programs among the institutions we are honored to serve.

Paid Digital Marketing Strategy & Execution

We all know the statistics: 90 percent of students begin their search for a school program online. For many, nearly the entire selection process is now conducted online. This means that, if your paid digital strategy and execution (PPC and social) isn’t at its best, you are significantly disadvantaged. Eduvantis has done a deep dive on school digital marketing, becoming the best in class provider.

Our Deliverable

We provide a detailed, data-based review of your paid digital marketing performance against our proprietary benchmarks established through working with a large number of  schools. On this foundation, we provide a detailed digital strategy for the online marketing of your programs. We then serve as your day-to-day digital agency, implementing the strategy and making necessary adjustments, based on your continuously measured performance.

Our Unique Value

With Eduvantis, you will have confidence that your paid digital marketing efforts are utilizing the most successful strategies and tactics to drive qualified leads to your school’s programs. We do more digital marketing for schools than any other agency and know every nuance and detail of how the market works across all school product categories. We also bring the deep knowledge derived from being the top school enrollment growth consulting firm to our digital marketing, a double benefit.
