Goals and Challenges: Stork’s Nest was advertising through traditional methods of Yellow Pages, radio and local newspaper ads. Their original website was 100% Flash and not recognized by the search engines. Due to the downturn in the market, enrollments were dipping. They needed a measurable way to attract new visitors to the school for enrollment. The Solution: WSI’s solution for The Stork’s Nest Child Academy was to build a new website using the WSI eFusion platform. WSI also optimized the website for local place search in the spring of 2009. Afterwards, WSI initiated a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign using the callto-action of “free initial registration worth $75”. For existing families, they were able to access easily downloadable calendars. The Results: WSI’s solution for Stork’s Nest provided the day care with a steady stream of leads coming from the website with workflows and requests for tours sent to specified locations. They immediately experienced a dramatic increase in leads and new enrollments to the school. WSI also used email marketing to follow up with prospective families that did not enroll but showed interest. This way, those leads were not forgotten but were nurtured for potential future enrollments. Rhode Island”, “Daycare East Greenwich, Daycare Warwick”, “Daycare Smithfield”.
