Leveraging your lists to expand student reach through digital campaigns
Digital marketing is a perfect Student Search complement because there are so many great list-based strategies to incorporate—and with Slate, your list cultivation and conversion tracking have never been easier. Here are a handful of ways you can leverage your lists in a digital Student Search.
Leverage your lists and expand your reach beyond the mailbox and inbox by using digital tactics like:
All of these lists can be pulled from your Slate instance.
Use lists of locations to generate new student lists
With Mobile Footprints, you can target buildings and locations to grab the attention of residents or frequent visitors while they’re in that location and on their mobile device. This mobile technology extends your reach from the mobile phone to all devices at home. Have a priority school list? Use these strategies to get your Search campaign in front of your most desired students and their parents too!
Use your best lists to find similar audiences
With look-alike modeling, you can use your most proven lists (think enrollment lists, best applicant lists, and most qualified inquiries) to build a new audience that looks similar to the demographics and characteristics of your best lists. Find those look-alike prospects across social media, Display advertising, RLSA, and more! These highly desirable lists are just a few clicks away via Slate queries.
Retargeting is a list too
While it may not fit into the traditional sense of a list of identified names, Retargeting is a list of people who have a high level of interest and intent. While you may not know exactly what their name is, you do know they’re interested based on the fact that they’ve been to key pages of your site, making them just as valuable (or arguably more valuable) than some traditional lists. Use Retargeting to ensure your students take the next step in their enrollment journey.
