Take CollegeWeekLive.com, for example. It may be one of those college sites that generally promotes undergraduate colleges, but it can certainly work for us as a first-profession college. Plus, not only are we getting the attention of our traditional prospective students, we can also spark interest in those students who are health-minded and hadn't even considered chiropractic as one of their options. Yet. By just "being out there" we are connecting with people. We telling them about chiropractic and what Palmer is all about. How cool is that?
I tell you what, CollegeWeekLive.com really knows what they're doing. By hosting virtual college fairs, they can attract tons of students who want to learn about a number of colleges without the hassle of travel or crowds. I remember going to a college fair back in my day and not being able to talk to a rep because some of the booths were so crowded. At the time I thought that if they don't have the time to speak to me one-on-one now, what's it going to be like on the actual campus? Will I just be a number? I don't know about you, but when I'm making life decisions, I want to be able to focus and to have the focus of the person I need to talk to.
At the virtual college fair today (I went in myself because I just HAD to check it out), I watched videos, clicked in to chat with reps, found out more info, "sat in" on a presentation, and basically did everything I would have done at a live fair. Wicked cool!
So what are you waiting for? If it's still March 26 when you're reading this (and it's before 10 p.m. EDT), go check it out!
