DMS Success Story:

Utilizing Automated Email Campaigns to Reignite Prospect Interest 

The Challenge: Re-Engage Prospective Students To Drive New Enrollments

A well-known education brand with multiple campuses wanted to increase their enrollment volume and conversion yield by re-engaging old prospects. The higher education institution had a database with stale inquiries from people who had requested information within the past two years, but then never became students. Digital Media Solutions (DMS) was challenged with re-engaging these unconverted prospective students to drive new enrollments while keeping the cost per enrollment (CPE) below target.
