Commitment Predictor
COMMITMENT PREDICTOR
A data driven solution
Our Commitment Predictor platform collects valuable data from each student. Use this data to follow up with committed students regarding what comes next or with students who have yet to commit and learn why. You will have the benefit of knowing who is committed to your school come next semester.
HOW IT WORKS
How our Commitment Predictor program works—it's easy as 1, 2, 3
Our Commitment Predictor program leverages an Omnichannel Marketing approach that ensures your acceptance message is received and that you are getting quality commitment and respondent reports so that you can better serve your accepted students and keep them moving forward with their next steps with your school.
Step 1:
You Are Accepted. Yay!
Each of your accepted students will receive a Gift Certificate in their Acceptance Packages allowing them to redeem a commitment gift from your branded Commitment Predictor website. Don’t want to deal with the logistics of a separate gift certificate? No problem! We can incorporate it into any piece of collateral for shipping efficiency
Step 2:
Select, Submit, Ship
Students love to be brand advocates for the school they worked so hard to get in. They will access your Commitment Predictor website and be given free merch for committing. Gain insight through questions in the redemption process like how their enrollment experience was, what they are still in need of, or what their biggest worries are for the next chapter of their lives.
Step 3:
Reporting and Follow Up
You will receive automated reports on every accepted student, whether they redeemed their commitment merch or not, and what their responses are to your questions. Follow up with students who completed to keep them moving forward with their next steps, or reach out to students who haven’t responded to see why and help them to keep moving forward with your school.
And what’s best of all?
We do everything for you!
From the programming of your Commitment Predictor website, to the design and fulfillment of your Acceptance Packages, and even the follow up communications, we can help you with everything!
