US Fall recruitment tracking well
A combined ENZ and industry effort in the US during the Fall recruitment season (September – November) has led to a spike in US visitors on the Study in New Zealand (SiNZ) website.
ENZ and representatives of New Zealand education providers spent the season interacting with students, parents and education professionals across the US at various recruitment fairs and study abroad fairs.
They also attended industry conferences, such as the NAFSA Regional Conferences which provided great opportunities to network with their US counterparts, reconnect with current partners and find new partners.
Lewis Gibson, ENZ Field Director, North America, said these events, against the backdrop of ENZ’s Future Proof 2.0 campaign, led to a spike in US visits to the Study Abroad page of the SiNZ website and sign ups to MyStudyNZ.
“This highlights the importance of combining digital efforts with in-market visits to the US, where personal relationships are important in ensuring the success of partnerships and the flow of students,” said Lewis.
States where New Zealand representatives were active directly corelate to increases in page views (see table below).
For example, SiNZ saw 9,234 and 7,359 unique visitors from California and Michigan respectively during 2018, out of a total of 71,549 US visitors.
