Bob Oxman & Bill Hurlburt to Speak at UCDA Design Conference 2012
October 13-16 at the Hilton Montreal Bonaventure in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Glenside, PA – April 18, 2012

Contrary to media reports that the viewbook is dead, new research from Paskill Stapleton & Lord proves otherwise.

The fact is that viewbooks are still being used at the majority of colleges and universities, and for good reason – students and their parents enjoy receiving them. Furthermore, there is a direct and beneficial connection between print and online marketing.

If anything, electronic communications has resurrected the lasting value of the viewbook as an emotive recruiting tool – one that creates an opening for conversation and establishes a lasting first impression.

In this session Bob will cover:

  • How and why colleges and universities currently use their viewbooks
  • How to successfully integrate viewbooks and other print collateral with your online marketing
  • How to incorporate the four key attributes of a well-designed and targeted viewbook to maximize impact

Bill will be piggybacking on Bob’s session and share insights into creative development and media tactics and what’s down the road for the burgeoning mobile marketplace; as well as provide tips for how higher education can stay ahead of the curve.

Does traditional thinking about marketing apply when it comes to mobile marketing strategy?

Bill will share his expertise from the research and strategy component of our mobile marketing team and share findings on:

  • How your audiences use their smart phones to access mobile sites
  • How the variety of your audiences each use them differently
  • Mobile users’ responsiveness to mobile advertising
  • Tracking and measuring mobile advertising
