With so many factors impacting the profitability and sustainability of higher education facilities, maintaining your school’s market share has become increasingly difficult as students turn more and more to non-degreed career options, alternative online training resources, or fail to complete their degree.
In the past several years, not only has there been a decline in the perception of value in higher education among the digital Gen Z and millennial generations, but federal funding has also decreased for research and other educational programs. Proposed changes in taxation threaten to diminish funding even further. Additionally, the rising cost of education turns many students away in fear that they will not be able to meet the long-term obligations that come with a high student loan debt.
AND … whereas philanthropic donations to higher education increased in 2017, there is a continual need to engage both alumni and non-alumni donors to keep the wellspring flowing!
1) Grabbing the attention of your target market, a student population that has grown up entirely in the age of technology with a history of instant gratification and constant demands for their focus.
2) Creating a desire for what you offer while bypassing their fears, justifying the cost of your program (in a sea of competition), and leading them to take action.
3) Driving your brand by appealing to the psychology of this academic generation while still engaging a more experienced professional population of return-to-school and advanced-degree students.
4) Generating continual funding by understanding the key motivators of alumni and corporate donors that drive contributions to your organization—and leveraging those motivators through systematic and strategic communications to build and maintain long-term profitable relationships.
