Fathom SEO Releases Opt-in Email Marketing Guide for Higher Education
Marketers in education may be missing opportunities to communicate with prospective students through opt-in email marketing. Fathom SEO releases a brand-new guide to avoiding pitfalls and identifying best practices for email marketing programs. Cleveland Dec. 4, 2007 - Many highly successful and well-regarded colleges and universities have embraced opt-in email marketing as a means of communication with prospective students, current students, parents and alumni. The question is: How does a college or university make the most of email marketing? With help from Fathom SEO’s newly released “How to Kickstart Higher Education Marketing with Email,” colleges and universities get an insider’s take on the best steps to create an effective email marketing campaign. The guide and accompanying online video summary may be downloaded at http://www.fathomseo.com/education-email/. “Email marketing can be a powerful tool for increasing qualified inquiries, but it has to be done correctly to protect the reputation of the school or university,” said Joe Soltis, author of the guide and Fathom SEO’s Director of Permission-Based Marketing. “The most important part of building your marketing database is to ask for affirmative consent.” “As the competition increases among colleges and universities, it’s becoming more and more important to showcase the best aspects of attending your school, whether it’s student life, quality of education, a great sports program or a lower admission price,” Soltis said. “Email marketing gives higher education institutions a cost-effective way of targeting prospective students and parents - as well as current students and alumni - with more information about what they’re interested in.” About the Author About Fathom SEO |
