Now, there’s a better way to engage prospective students and their parents.
Mongoose helps your institution increase application conversion and enrollment yield by using the cell phones, iPhones and smart phones that Millennials carry with them everyday.
With mobile recruitment – or m-Recruitment, for short – you can send text messages to their cell phones, give them an iPhone app with full audio and video, or build a Facebook application that lets them connect with other students. (Yes, really.)
m-Recruitment is:
Helpful – text prospective students about local events, remind parents about financial aid deadlines, and more
Simple – send a message to a specific group of students in less than 60 seconds
Cost-effective – mobile is far less expensive than direct mail and more immediate than e-mail
Awesome – seriously, you have to see how it works

Mongoose's m-Recruitment platform was developed by David Marshall, winner of numerous Admissions Marketing Awards, noted author of multiple articles for higher education publications, and co-founder of the company that pioneered e-recruiting.
"Mobile Updates" are recommended to prospective students and parents who are interested in St. Mary's. The targeted text messages allow prospective students and their families to receive important updates about admission deadlines and events directly to their mobile phones!
Facebook vs. Myspace - My perception before this study was that myspace trends younger, with an emphasis on music and musicians of all ages. Facebook trends older (even for high school years) and tends to be a better platform to communicate with prospective students for many reasons.
