Step 1: Audit and Assess
![Page 32: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Audit and Assess• Gather every email, letter and
brochure sent to prospective and current students:– Organize and categorize every
piece– Compare it to your brand
guidelines and message– Determine if you are leading
students on a path to enrollment
– Identify how (and if) if you are using data to target messages
• It’s not a turf battle … it’s coordination!
![Page 33: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Step 2: Review software capabilities versus how you are using it.
![Page 34: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Checklist Can you create dynamic student segments? Do you FTP data from your SIS routinely? Do you have communication workflow capabilities? Are the functions and capabilities intuitive? Can you launch communication workflows based upon a
range of triggering events? Does your message editor enable responsive design? Are your web forms directly linked to your platform?
![Page 35: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Step 3: Build the case.
![Page 36: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
An Inconvenient Truth
![Page 37: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Using data, how to you find your audiences?• Interested in enrolling in Fall 2017 into a X major.• Viewed a webform but did not complete it?• Clicked a link to apply but didn’t convert?• Who haven’t completed their application? FAFSA?
Confirmed their enrollment? Registered for orientation? Logged into your learning management portal?
![Page 38: Enrollment Communication through Marketing Automation - CALEM 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9abd01a28abae5a8b4611/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Define the content• Prospective student
– Majors and careers– Admission– Affordability (costs)– Financial aid– Academic advising– Campus life– Student services– Transactional matters
• Current student– Course selection– Registration– Paying the bill– Key transactional
deadlines– Process explanation– Counseling– Academic support– Child care

But content is not enough … it must be linked to your brand.

Here’s what happens when you constantly import lists …1) Messages are typically ad-
hoc.2) You lose the ability to
dynamically change the conversation.
3) You risk errors by manually matching data fields.
