Andover, MA – August 23, 2008

Boston-area student marketing company, Effective Student Marketing (ESM), will introduce the Education Alerts student recruitment marketing system, at The California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) 24th Annual Conference, September 10-12, 2008 at the Hilton Los Angeles located in Universal City, CA.

Education Alerts is ESM?s proven, cost-effective marketing communications system developed exclusively for the private, post-secondary career school education sector. Education Alert?s dynamic content engine produces an ongoing, relevant dialogue with prospects to re-engage, excite and motivate them to renew their interest in the school?s program offerings.

?Education Alerts is a way, without being overly intrusive, to interact with students who may not remember us very well, and it gets them back into thinking about our school.? says a California beauty school owner. ?Education Alerts identifies and contacts prospects that previously showed interest and rekindles interest without overextending our marketing department. As a result, we?ve captured a much larger percentage of students who we originally deemed as losses.?

?While most career school owners, presidents and marketing directors understand the value of recycling their inactive student leads, few have the internal resources to mine the ?gold? in their prospect databases,? says ESM?s founder and president, Andy Kelley. ?As the cost to keep the student lead pipeline full with quality student leads continues to increase across all media — broadcast, print and search engine advertising — it?s critical for schools to recycle their inactive student leads. That?s where Education Alerts fits into a school?s lead generation strategy.?
