    Notes on slide 1

    What do we want our website to do? What is it’s major purpose? Most of the time the #1 goal is going to be recruit students and everything else falls a distant second so keep that audience in mind. Build for your main audience, but don’t forget your other audiences. You will find that you can do this while still staying relevant to everyone.

    Same can be said for a website. You can have the greatest website in the world, but if nobody is visiting it is it making a difference? Of course you have to get people to visit, but knowing what they do when they visit is equally important.

    So what is important to me? What should I be tracking?Admission SpecificApply to CollegeSchedule a Campus VisitRequest InfoDownload the ViewbookTake a Virtual TourGeneral GoalsSign up for eConnect updatesWatch VideosSubscribe to RSSBecome Facebook Fan, Member of a GroupJoin Linked InRead Blogs

    Besides tracking just your website there is still a whole lot that happens with your school online that isn’t specificially on your website. Now that we have a host of tools and segmented data let’s take a look at some of these other options.

    21. How Much Do I Spend On Leads?
      Without the concept of a Lead you aren’t able to consistently measure ROI
    22. What Is The Value?
      What is the value of a student?
      Value = avg years * (cost – avg discount)
      So what is an applicant worth?
      App = Value * Conversion rate from applicant to enroll
    23. Let’s Do Some Math
      Average Years = 3
      Cost Per Year = $20,000
      Average Discount = $10,000
      Student Value = 3 * ($20,000 - $10,000)
      So a Student is worth$30,000!
    24. Let’s Do Some Math
      Student Value = $30,000
      Conversion Rate in Applicant = 20%
      App Value = $30,000 * .2
      So an Applicant is worth$6,000!
    25. A Lead Is Worth$6,000!
