The key to successfully turning prospects into students or donors is not only reaching the target audience at the right time, but also via the right media.
RR Donnelley helps Colleges & Universities reach new prospective students, alumni and donors with timely mail campaigns. We create feature-rich, attention-getting, personalized printed materials that win at the mailbox. Our formats coupled with your strong offers get the message delivered, interact with the recipient, and provide multimedia response capture and measurement.
Your special event invitations and response cards are proven to be more effective when recipients can respond in multiple ways. By adding an electronic call-to-action web portal media response to traditional 1-800 call numbers and Business Reply Mail, we see overall response lift and better customer conversion rates. Electronic media data capture, such as personalized URL (PURLs) programs, and QR Codes reach target candidates in a truly personal manner and provide a quicker campaign success measurement.
