SMS FOR ENROLLMENT AND RESULTS
In college admissions, SMS texting is a must. According to research, today’s students prefer text messaging and rarely respond to traditional phone or email marketing. While enrollment and retention rates are important indicators, higher education texting has many other advantages.
The modern communication landscape is dominated by text messaging. And no place is this more apparent than on college campuses. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that things are different. But you might be surprised at how far it’s gone.
According to recent studies, 95% of 18-24-year-olds own cell phones and 97% of them use text messaging frequently. This demographic sends an estimate of 110 texts per day, or over 3,000 text messages each month.
These figures are nearly double for those aged 25 to 34 and triple for those aged 65 and up. SMS text messaging has grown exponentially and is now a pivotal part of higher education marketing, according to concrete indications.
One of the most frequent criticisms among university administrators is that they are unable to communicate with their students. They often don’t return phone calls or emails. Many students prefer to communicate solely through texting.
According to estimates, 97 percent of text messages are read in three minutes or less.
IMPROVEMENT OF COLLEGE ADMISSIONS AND RETENTION
Admissions is a complicated process that necessitates collaboration between several departments, including admissions, registration, and financial aid. Regrettably, issues arise when one hand does not understand what the other is doing.
Records are misplaced, deadlines are missed, and students and their families suffer as a result.
SMS texting is a strong solution because of this. Advanced options are available on operational platforms, allowing for efficient communication between all parties. Universities can be up and running the same day by utilizing a cloud-based messaging platform, which requires no technology investments or development.
ADMISSIONS AND ENROLLMENT MADE EASY!
Admissions and enrollment staff can seamlessly switch from large scale notifications to one-on-one personalized texting conversations with students across various departments.
To address problems faster and create a completely smooth integration, university staff can all chime into the same texting thread with the student. Students, on the other hand, only need to make one application to to get all of the assistance they require.
SMS MESSAGING BENEFITS IN HIGHER INSTITUTIONS
The advantages of incorporating SMS text messaging are unquestionable, both for students and for the college or university. Students receive the help they need in near real-time communication, as well as timely reminders concerning upcoming events, deadlines, and submission criteria.
SMS messaging can also be used to schedule interviews with staff members and to quickly organize scheduled events. This helps eliminate the back-and-forth that typical phone calls and emails entail.
REAL-TIME RESULTS NOTIFICATIONS
SMS messaging can also help higher institutions notify students of their results. Because each student has an admission number, they can easily receive results notifications in the privacy of their phones.
TEXTING HAS A MUCH HIGHER RESPONSE RATE THAN CALLING OR SENDING AN EMAIL
Students can get quick and easy answers to their questions by using their preferred mobile device. It is also easy to keep the discussion going and build rapport because students are completely familiar with texting.
Support staff can take advantage of such opportunities to inform parents and students about academic scholarships, as well as providing guidance and mentoring services. They can also urge students and parents to partake in networking events.
In university and college admissions, SMS texting is a huge advertising channel with a high return on investment. Universities that use this technology indicate higher levels of engagement, enrollment yield, retention rates, and service quality. Not to mention significant time savings and better job performance.
Higher education texting, on the other hand, must be done correctly in order to make it work.
