4 key communication points…
• Cost & affordability are key concerns you can’t ignore.
• To increase inquiries and campus visits:• Create website content that genuinely addresses fears
people have.• And make sure people can find it.
• To increase applications:• Use inquiry-stage email to introduce “affordability”
content.
• To increase deposits:• Follow-up financial aid awards with personal contact to
review/explain details.
