How healthy is your school’s enrollment?

Start

Effective school marketing starts with belief—and refusing to settle for the status quo.

If you believe your school has a meaningful mission, produces outstanding results, and prepares students for a life of service and success, then you won’t settle for being your community’s best-kept secret. You’ll feel compelled to share your story.

But good intentions, word-of-mouth, and random acts of marketing won’t produce sustainable results. You need a cohesive, proactive strategy to attract and retain right-fit families™ — and the expertise to make it happen.

Whether your school is operating from a position of strength or teetering on the tipping point, Tassel can help. Our proven process will challenge your thinking, clarify the win, and position your school to connect with right-fit families. And we’ll start by focusing on a simple but critical question: “What does your school need from marketing in this season?”

How we think.

It’s easy to confuse activity with accomplishment. Tassel’s Healthy Enrollment™ Model helps school leaders develop a prioritized plan for effective recruitment and retention.

Who is your school for? It’s a fundamental question many schools assume they’ve answered. But assumptions can be costly. Getting clear on your definition of a right-fit family™ is like the ounce of prevention that saves a pound of cure.
