Use data to predict and improve conversion rates

To attract more applicants, institutions must understand how students move through their enrollment funnel. If your college or university isn’t addressing leaks in the funnel, you may be missing out on applicants or wasting precious marketing dollars on students who aren’t likely to enroll. Maximize your institution’s growth potential by optimizing performance across each stage of the funnel.

Hanover’s expert research teams help colleges and universities evaluate the health of their enrollment funnel and identify ways to increase conversion rates. Harnessing the power of predictive modeling, Hanover can identify the student variables associated with a higher likelihood of matriculating — so you can tighten your recruitment and enrollment efforts to increase results.

Why Phoenix College is Partnering with Hanover Research

“Our goals include creating an enrollment management plan and an academic master plan that align with the future of the workforce and the potential student population in our community. In addition, we hope to identify how to put our resources to best use to support our students, our institution, and our community. Needing additional research capacity to help us craft our enrollment management and academic master plans, we looked to Hanover to provide the extra support we need.
