THE MOBILE ADMISSIONS SEARCH SOLUTION
With over 60 million iPhones and iPod Touches sold, and over 3 billion apps downloaded, Pocket Campus is a powerfully-simple way to bring your message to millions of mobile device users. Schools can now be at the forefront of a growing movement. Pocket Campus harnesses the power and connectivity of today’s smartphones with a revolutionary new student search application.
A NEW TOOL IN THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS TOOLBOX
Pocket Campus is on the leading edge of an important emerging communications medium that students are already using. With Pocket Campus, schools can drastically increase their reach to national and international audiences. Pocket Campus is inexpensive compared to traditional direct mail search programs. Best of all, there are no distribution costs. Pocket Campus works alongside existing Web sites, direct mail, and other traditional communications initiatives, giving schools broad reach with an opportunity to tell their story with words, pictures and sounds.
POCKET CAMPUS FEATURES AND OPTIONS
Pocket Campus gives prospective students deep insight into a school’s offerings, in a fun, easy-to-use package. With a modular design – and available custom development – we can develop each app to meet the specific needs of the individual school and target audience.
