Higher Education Marketers, are your recruitment strategies enticing students to add your school to the short list, identify their interest and take the next step to visit or apply?

71% want specific program, major, and admissions details

55% seek job placement data upon program completion

42% value campus tour invitations (virtual or in-person)
