The what's what...

One of the biggest challenges for higher ed marketers is to personalize their communications at scale. No, not just use <First Name> or <Program of Interest> personalization tokens, but actually communicate to prospects where, when, and how they wish to be engaged. On this episode of Chat’s What (S)he Said, Zach and Nicole break down several frameworks for communications segmentation and discuss when and where to use email, texting, chatbots, and video SMS within your overarching comm flow. As always, you can expect decent storytelling, good insight, great ideas, and a heck of a lot of fun from this conversation between two of your favorite enrollment marketing nerds.
