Your Higher Education Marketing Link of the Week… Davidson College: 20 Student Videos for Enrollment Conversion… 23 April 2021

20 Video Series: Davidson students speak to potential future students

Davidson CollegeOne important element in persuading potential students to make a decision to attend your college or university is to let them listen to students already enrolled. Davidson College does that in a series of 20 short videos (one is 3.5 minutes, most are 2 to 3 minutes, several even shorter) that cover a great variety of topics.

Visitors to the page don’t just watch the videos at the top. You’ll see the most “love this” symbols for video #19… “Did Steph Curry go to Davidson?” The “love this” count is of course useful marketing information… the most popular topics can be built into a communication plan for other parts of the recruitment cycle.

Here’s the full topic list in scanning order:
