We are very excited to announce two new Studyabroad.com Services. The first is Studyabroad.com Express, an innovative, time-sensitive tool for reaching potential study abroad students. The other new service is English.Studyabroad.com, a front end to our ESL listings which provides potential English students with a shortcut to the information they are looking for.
Studyabroad.com Express allows advertisers to reach prospective students on their own time frame. They can use this service to announce programs, deadlines, and scholarships, or to pro-actively reach out to the market.
Studyabroad.com Express is an 'opt-in' email announcement list for students. Students who visit the Studyabroad.com website are invited to sign up. The initial distribution will reach about 3,000 subscribers. Students have been signing up at a rate of approximately 50 per day.
Each week the first item on Express will be the 'Feature of the Week.' This premium position will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis each week.
The list will be distributed each Monday afternoon. The deadline for advertising is noon eastern time every Monday. Pricing starts at $20 per issue. Full details are available at http://www.studyabroad.com/express/adinfo.html or by phoning Mark Landon at 610-364-0400.
English.Studyabroad.com is now online and receiving traffic. It is designed to attract the attention of prospective ESL students world-wide. English.Studyabroad.com is being marketed as its own unique site, and utilizes many of the same online promotional techniques which have made Studyabroad.com a leading resource.
This new site shares the ESL program directories with the Studyabroad.com Language section. In effect, the new English.Studyabroad.com Home Page is a shortcut to the ESL listing pages, cutting out several layers of menus and making it easier for prospective students to find what they are looking for. Prospective students can now find ESL program listings by entering http://english.studyabroad.com, or by going to http://www.studyabroad.com and clicking through to the Language Programs section. This means that listings in this section can now have twice the impact.
If you run an ESL program, we encourage you verify that we have your program listed and that the listing contains accurate information. You can check out your listings by visiting http://www.studyabroad.com/update/
The pricing for links from our directory to your website starts at just US$225 per year. We are also offering an introductory package for new ESL program advertisers which includes a link (standard listing) and a mini-banner (hot button) at a discount rate of US$350/year. This is a savings of $150. Master Sponsor positions, which provide for a link on the English.Studyabroad.com home page are also available and cost US$3500 per year. Please write to mlandon@studyabroad.com for more information.
We encourage study abroad advisors and program sponsors to visit the discussion boards to answer student inquiries and offer expert advice.
You can access the boards by choosing 'Study Abroad Forum' from the Studyabroad.com Home Page.
We will be happy to provide bags for your upcoming study abroad fair or other event. Contact Lori Faunce (lori@studyabroad.com) to place your order.
We will be moving about 4 miles away from our current office to a new facility in the University Technology Park. Our new offices will be in a recently constructed building which will house only technology related businesses. The office building is a joint project of Widener University, the University City Science Center and the Crozer Keystone Health System. This new space will put us just off of Interstate 95, 7 miles south of the Philadelphia International Airport.
