DORMtours Does It ...So You Don’t Have To!

Did you know it takes 8 times as much to attract a new student to your college as it does to retain a student you’ve already accepted?

We’ve all talked about improving our recruitment funnels and student/parent transition programs.

DORMtours developed around the principal of enhanced “recruitment funnels,” endorsed by NACAC.

We’ve done the work for you; + Researched student & parent

physical and psychological needs + Developed tools to meet those needs +Showcase your college in the best

possible light +Give you easy, continual access to

influence final student decisions. +Built a network of colleges to create

synergy, reduce costs +Coordinate sponsors to facilitate the

program +And we’ll film, process and host your

colleges’ virtual DORMtours AND arrange sponsors for/produce your CD-ROMs!

What Are “Experts” Are Saying?

“I like this. Sweet!” - Shawn, college bound freshman and unsolicited DORMtours customer.

“While traditional means such as scholarships are still an important recruiting tool, we’re finding more and more students make living arrangements part of their criteria when choosing a college.” - W.D. Wassan, Associate Vice President Student Enrollment, University of Texas.

“Ten students more or ten students less can make the difference between a budget working or not working.” – Kathleen Dawley, President Maguire Associates.

“The last group of students I met with made a point of telling me how our dorms looked exactly as they did on the DORMtours CD we sent them. It definitely made them more comfortable which helped them choose our college. It definitely worked!”

Thanks for the DORMtours CD. They were a great addition to our package! Angela Grubert, Admission Director, Clark University
