Other Services

Since 2014, Tudor Collegiate Strategies has been leading admissions training workshops and creating personalized, engaging undergraduate enrollment communication plans for colleges and universities.

Over the years we’ve added other custom, project-based services. Some of these fulfill short-term needs, but all of them provide lasting value. We’re happy to talk about combining multiple services or combining a service with one of our popular training workshops at a cost savings to you.

If you don’t see a service listed below that you’re looking for help with, let’s talk, because customization is at the core of everything we do.

Each service that we offer will help your college or university be more relational and less transactional.

ENROLLMENT COMMUNICATIONS AUDIT

Review your undergraduate recruiting communications plan as a whole, by class, or as a select number of pieces. We would offer a detailed report with feedback and recommendations on the language, tone, and content currently used in various emails, letters, postcards, event messages, and other print pieces. We would also provide insights and recommendations around specific best practices – namely who those messages should come from, when and how often they should be sent, as well as effective email subject lines and calls to action. Our main goal would be to help you personalize and differentiate your communications, as well as increase engagement levels between prospective students/parents and your admissions staff.

EDITING EXISTING ENROLLMENT COMMUNICATIONS

Review and provide edits for a select number of enrollment communications – namely emails, letters, postcards, and event messages. Our focus will be on the language, tone, content, and delivery of these messages. Each will receive a single edit, and this does not include email template creation, graphic design, or other design work. We would however offer feedback and recommendations on those things. Our main goal would be to help you personalize and differentiate your communications, as well as increase engagement levels between prospective students/parents and your admissions staff.

“Having seen the added value of bringing TCS to Baldwin Wallace for an on-site admission counselor training session, BW subsequently partnered with them to also assist with efforts to write and edit recruitment materials. Over the course of a year, TCS produced or updated roughly 85 emails and print items. Many of the TCS edits and rewrites brought a counselor voice into the communication items, helping to spur engagement with prospective students. I found the partnership to be incredibly valuable, providing short-term lift as well as enhancing BW’s long-term capacity to improve our external messaging.”

YIELD SPECIFIC COMMUNICATIONS

Create various ad hoc messages as well as personalized, engaging monthly email communications that will highlight some of your institution’s strongest value points. These communications will also strengthen relationships between admitted students and your admissions staff, and differentiate your institution from your competitors at a crucial time. We will conduct survey research to help us craft messages that are true to your institutional identity.

PARENT COMMUNICATIONS

Create a stream of personalized, engaging monthly communications that will highlight some of your institution’s strongest value points, as well as strengthen relationships between your admissions staff and parents – the number one influencer during a student’s college search process. These messages are typically spread out to cover an entire year, and we will conduct survey research to help us craft messages that are true to your institutional identity.

MELT PREVENTION COMMUNICATIONS

Create a stream of personalized, engaging monthly email communications for deposited/committed students, as well as their parents. Our main goal is to remind both groups why they made such a great decision by reiterating some of your institution’s strongest value points, as well as opening the door for engagement between those students/parents and your admissions staff. We will conduct survey research to help us craft messages that are true to your institutional identity.

JUNIOR OR SOPHOMORE SPECIFIC COMMUNICATIONS

Create a stream of personalized, engaging monthly communications that will introduce high school juniors or sophomores to your institution and some of your strongest value points, as well as the college search process. Our main goals would be to help you increase campus visits from this group, and create engagement opportunities between these students and your admissions staff. These messages are typically spread out to cover an entire year, and we will conduct survey research to help us craft messages that are true to your institutional identity.

TRANSFER STUDENT COMMUNICATIONS

Create various personalized and engaging communications for prospective transfer students. These messages will highlight some of your institution’s strongest value points for transfers, as well as strengthen relationships between these students and your admissions staff. We will conduct survey research to help us craft messages that are true to your institutional identity.

TOUR GUIDE/STUDENT AMBASSADOR TRAINING

This half-day training for your tour guides/student ambassadors will help them deliver better customer service, and will teach them how to connect and engage effectively with prospective students and families during campus tours. Training topics will include interpersonal skills, storytelling, personalization, understanding what kinds of questions and topics will generate engagement, how to handle common objections, and what this generation of students is looking for in a college (and how they’re making their decisions). As an added bonus, we will also review and provide insights and recommendations around your existing pre and post-visit communications.
