Paskill and Three Rivers College to Discuss Enrollment for Community Colleges at National Conference
Three Rivers College President to present with Paskill President on marketing two-year colleges at the NCMPR conference in Denver.
Three Rivers College
The economic downturn has been tougher on some. Higher learning can improve outcomes.
Three Rivers College is ready to transform lives in Southeast Missouri. Paskill is driving recruitment by marketing how paths to degrees are possible and positive.
Connecting Students with Content Quicker
Because the site’s footprint has been reduced by nearly 65%, prospective students can find what they need faster. And a program finder encourages future and current students to see seamlessly what careers, classes, faculty, and locations align to earning their degree or certificate. The site is also infused with copy that syncs with prospective student search trends, as SEO research has informed content strategy and will bolster search engine results.
Ready for Life Way After Launch
Three Rivers College will benefit from a very fast-performing website (quick page load) which helps with SEO and mobile performance (on lower bandwidth data networks). But life after launch was equally important to the project. The Three Rivers team was coached on what makes a page effective, including readability concerns and user experience recommendations. A module-based style guide allows Three Rivers to maintain existing pages or create new pages with structured content consistently and efficiently.
Lead Gen Tactics on the Move
An integrated digital campaign has erupted from the chutes targeting local and regional prospects to the impressive and affordable two-year institution. The strategy is delivering targeted, persistent brand messaging and calls-to-action to prospective students and their parents. Creative speaks to the distinct culture of the campus, like a rodeo team that reigns supreme.
Putting Affordability into Action
A commitment to the quality of life in Southeast Missouri means Three Rivers is making sure the costs of college are not only affordable but understood. For instance, the College has simplified its bills for students and families so there’s no question what fee is going where while also of course providing the best quality education possible.
Updating our old website was Herculean. It took forever to make the simplest change, and it took a fairly high degree of technical skill. With the rollout of the new website, the backend functionality is very simple. It also gives us the ability because there is not a high-tech requirement to make those changes to allow many more people to update their own section.
