PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As mobile device use among high school seniors continues to dominate college search trends, the TargetX CRM helps institutions connect their comprehensive suite of CRM tools to better engaging students.
A 2014 E-expectations report from Noel Levitz found that “nine out of ten seniors and eight out of ten parents have access to a mobile device.” Additionally, “71 percent of seniors and 45 percent of parents” look to their phones to find out more about colleges from institutional websites. Educause highlighted the need for user support in higher ed’s “new normal” environments, including mobile screens, as one of the top ten IT issues of the year.
“We find that half of our traffic for forms come through a mobile phone so we needed to make sure that we had mobile accessible forms,” says Jeff Shpunt, Director of Web Services at Western Connecticut State University. “With TargetX, all of our website forms are mobile-ready. And everything is responsive.”
Whether they are looking to communicate with a college through inquiry forms (and colleges want to follow up with relevant communications), apply to college online or register for an event, TargetX products all focus on providing students with a great experience on a small screen, like a cell phone.
“Mobile-ready forms are just one small example of these powerful solutions that help campuses reimagine the student experience across the lifecycle,” says Sasha Peterson, CEO of TargetX. “But forms are just the beginning. Our CRM offers the most complete set of solutions from fully integrated communications tools with automated workflows to the best application review tool and the most advanced social yield tool on the market.”
A leading CRM company, TargetX provides a campus-wide solution to help colleges build relationships and advance lifelong communications with their most important constituencies, including prospective students, current students, alumni and potential donors. The company’s Campuswide CRM is built on the powerful development platform of Salesforce.com — the worldwide leader in customer relationship management and a pioneer in cloud computing.
