ROI Analysis
Build a Business Case
Establishing ROI


  If we can work backwards from the
value of a student we can establish the
 value of an Interactive Campus Map.




              *All numbers are created as examples
Let’s Do Some Math
What is the value of a Student?
• Average Years = 3
• Cost Per Year = $20,000
• Average Yearly Discount = $10,000

• Student Value = 3 * ($20,000 - $10,000)
• So a Student is worth
  $30,000!
What is the value of an Applicant?
• Student Value = $30,000
• Conversion Rate in Applicant = 20%

• App Value = $30,000 * .2
• So an Applicant is worth
  $6,000!
Value Of Campus Tour?
What is a Campus Visit Worth?
• Application Value = $6,000
• Conversion Rate of Visits to Applicant = 20%

• Value of Visit = $6,000 * .2
• So Each Student Visit is Worth
  $1,200!
What is a Virtual Tour Visit Worth?
• Visit Value = $1,200
• Conversion of Map to Visit = 5%

• Value of a Map View = $1,200 * .05
• So Each Map View is Worth
  $60!
Do You Think 1,000
People Would View Your
   Map In A Month?
Then Having A Map Is
  Worth $60,000!
    Per Month!
You can now justify
    this project

Let’s take a step back
You can use this same
process to decide the value
 of doing any web project

It can be one of the single most influential things in the decision process for a prospective student. So how much is it worth and how do we get prospective students to want to apply to our school?
