With a growing number of options for continued education, eLearning marketers must create intentional campaigns throughout the lifecycle to drive student enrollment, engagement, and continued education.
From accelerating course discovery to driving class completion and encouraging enrollment in additional courses and programs, eLearning marketers must think about how to build momentum throughout the learning lifecycle.
To start driving acquisition and retention for your eLearning platform, create smart omnichannel campaigns that keep students engaged throughout their online learning journey.
Here are five essential omnichannel campaigns for eLearning platforms:
Trigger an automated, multi-touch welcome series that feels like a school orientation, including easy step-by-step guides and resources.
To encourage course completion and improve the student experience, identify important milestones (such as due dates) and create campaigns around them.
Encourage continued learning by recommending the next best course based on that individual student’s learning goals and progression.
Create a triggered campaign series that reminds students of the value of your courses and encourages them to re-enroll or finish where they left off.
Create an automated course abandoned browse campaign by highlighting courses that were previously browsed as well as similar courses that may be a better fit.
