MAXIMIZING ADVANCEMENT & DEVELOPMENT

Did you know that donors and financial supporters will increase their commitment to your school if your Advancement processes are at the same level of sophistication that the other causes they give to are at? If you currently do not have a structured Advancement function at your school, ISPG can create and implement one that will significantly increase your fundraising and donation revenues. If you have an existing Advancement function, we can upgrade your systems to cultivate more and larger major gifts and a much more successful Annual Appeal.

INTRODUCTORY CONSULTATION

ISPG offers a no obligation introductory consultation via telephone or email so that you can gain more information around how to address the opportunities and challenges that present to your school, its students, families, faculty, administration and Board.

THE NUMBER ONE CHALLENGE FOR SCHOOLS

The number one issue facing private, independent schools this re-registration season is the recruitment of students. Ask us how many new students your school would need to recover 100% of the cost of your school having ISPG's proprietary marketing and admissions systems. You will be surprised by how quickly your school can become equipped with highly effective marketing and admissions departments that recruit and register significantly more new students.

Over the last three years our strategies and best practice methodologies have produced these results for private schools:

  • 35 new students since June 2012 for an all-boys 6th - 12th grade college preparatory school bringing with it over $300,000 in additional revenue for the school in this fiscal year.
  • 24 new students for a K-8th grade university prep school bringing over $430,000 in additional revenue with no marginal cost. Targeted marketing for girls resulted in 14 new girls in specific grades to balance out gender representation.
  • 25 new pre-k and K students in a New York City preschool resulting in over $600,000 in increased annual revenues. Waiting lists in all programs.
  • 38 new students for a New York City Pre – 8th grade school. Increased annual revenues of $500,000. Attrition reduction from over 31% to less than 5% in the same year.
  • 33 new students recruited midyear from October through February  for an all-girl day and boarding pre-12th grade university preparatory school. Increased annual revenues of $825,000. Attrition reduction from 38% to less than 12% in the same year.
  • 97% full Pre-8th grade school in a region where enrollments are down and schools are closing.
  • 90% full pre-6th grade school in a region where the direct competitor’s enrollment was down 68%.

The Recruitment Challenge

We understand how difficult it is to recruit new students. We have seen on too many occassions how a decline in enrollment can financially disadvantage a school. We know how quickly that a school needs to address a loss of students and the impact it can have upon school morale and culture if enrollment is declining.

The marketing of private schools is distinct from any other service or product in that it has such an enormous emotional component attached to the decision makers. Through our understanding of this complex circumstance we have developed strategies and practices that at their base, fits with both a parent's and student's need to understand how they will be supported and educated while in your care. Whether your school’s fee structure is low, medium or at the upper end, or your school is located in a small or large market area, our proprietary marketing strategy provides a distinct competitive advantage to those schools who implement them. Delivering both immediate results and long-term results, your new marketing plan will attract more families to your school and cause your competitor schools to wonder why they are not experiencing these same kinds of successes:

  • Greater Volume and Frequency of Inquiries
  • Higher Quality of Inquiry 
  • Full Enrollment 
  • Waiting Lists 

We stand 100% behind our work with our QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM. Ask us about it!
