  4. E-Cards? Really? • E-Cards are “Web 0.5” – a basic tool • Might seem “kitschy” or “been done”…… but it really is the thought that counts. • Attention to quality and detail can promote your brand and elevate your E-cards from “quaint” to “cool.”

  8. Promote! • Make sure people know they’re available by stealing some space on your landing pages every now and then.

  10. Admissions E-Cards

  11. Feedback • E-mail notification list the sender’s address in the “from” field, so students reply directly to the counselor. • Student replies: • “Aww thank you! I am very excited about starting in the fall! I can't wait!” • “Ms. Hahn, Thank you for the card. It was so cute!” • “Hi Alisa! Are you the admissions counselor taking over for Mandi? Thanks for the card! Can't wait to meet you when I come down in less than a month! So excited!” • “Thanks a lot for the birthday card. I really appreciate it!”
