Education Alerts
Education Alerts is ESM’s online student marketing system for career schools and continuing education unsts of colleges and universities. Education Alerts is a dynamic content engine designed to produce an ongoing dialogue to excite and engage students and prospects. Through a consistent flow of relevant content, Education Alerts helps schools generate new leads, maintain a dialogue with existing prospects and build a strong market presence, ultimately leading to improved enrollment revenue and profitability of student marketing programs.

“We needed a way to reach the students looking for schools electronically. We had experience with other media, but didn’t know where to start with the internet and email. Education Alerts generated targeted ads, produced relevant content, and crafted direct response emails to reach students we previously didn’t know how to contact. We’ve definitely seen an increase in enrollments since we began Education Alerts,” said a California beauty school President.
