How to Strengthen Enrollment with Stronger Messaging

with Jennie Winton

If you know what makes your school special, but struggle to describe it in a succinct way, this presentation is for you. Learn how to use the Minute Message Model to powerfully convey your school’s value to prospective families. You’ll get more clarity on where to take your school’s communications, and learn how to create a draft “elevator pitch” to support enrollment management. This presentation is appropriate for heads, enrollment management and admission professionals, and anyone with a communications role at your school. Find out how to create new messages that everyone at your school can use to help you attract new families and steward the loyalty of those already in your community.
