Partner Testimonials I have a long and steady relationship with StudyPlaces. The lead quality is great and so is the customer service… Mr. Suneet, Director – Fateh Education StudyPlaces has delivered what it promised. The concept was new but it is here to stay. Target Consultancy We are very happy with studyplaces.com leads quality. In fact last year we got 12 students from study places leads and we have already converted two students from this year leads. We used to invest lot of money in newspaper advertisement but we never got such a good response. Studyplaces.com is a very cost effective medium. We are getting students in such a low cost in comparison of other media. Best thing about studyplaces.com is that we are paying for per response only as other media never take guarantee of response. Studies in Russia We have been using services offered by StudyPlaces for last 6 months. The branding and quality of leads provided by StudyPlaces remain unparalleled. All the best, StudyPlaces.

    Partner Testimonials I havea long and steady relationship with StudyPlaces. The lead quality is great and so is the customer service… Mr. Suneet, Director – Fateh Education StudyPlaces has delivered what it promised. The concept was new but it is here to stay. Target Consultancy We are very happy with studyplaces.com leads quality. In fact last year we got 12 students from study places leads and we have already converted two students from this year leads. We used to invest lot of money in newspaper advertisement but we never got such a good response. Studyplaces.com is a very cost effective medium. We are getting students in such a low cost in comparison of other media. Best thing about studyplaces.com is that we are paying for per response only as other media never take guarantee of response. Studies in Russia We have been using services offered by StudyPlaces for last 6 months. The branding and quality of leads provided by StudyPlaces remain unparalleled. All the best, StudyPlaces.
