Sparkroom Success Story:

Setting Up for Rapid Admissions Growth with Implementation of Technology for Lead Management, Marketing Automation and Campaign Analysis

Background

Faced with rapid growth in their inquiry volume and mounting pressure to improve efficiency and optimize their marketing spend, a large higher education institution with multiple campuses realized they needed to find a new technology solution.

Challenge

The higher education institution operated in a competitive market in which inquiry response time was critical. After experiencing costly system outages from their former lead management system (LMS), the decision was made to look for an inquiry management platform that could offer more robust and reliable performance plus real-time data insights and improved analysis.
