School & Training Marketers Ask Us These Every Week

Real questions from admissions and marketing teams. If yours isn't here, call us at 888-999-3241.

Will a billboard actually help enrollment?

Enrollment decisions happen at home, but awareness decides which schools make the shortlist. A billboard keeps your name in front of parents and prospective students every day, so when they search or visit, you're already familiar.

Can we target the areas we recruit from?

Yes. Give us the ZIP codes of your feeder communities and campus corridors, and we match you with boards on the roads they drive, including direction of travel. Try the ZIP search above.

When should we run enrollment boards?

Most schools time boards to the weeks before application deadlines, open houses and the start of classes. Flights can be as short as 4 days on many digital boards, so you can match your academic calendar.

What should an education billboard say?

Your name, your strongest program or promise, and one action: 'Now Enrolling,' 'Apply Today' or a short web address. Seven words or fewer. Our design team builds it free, or use the mock-up tool above.

We have multiple campuses. Can we advertise each?

Yes. We target by ZIP code around each campus and can build a multi-market plan with one specialist managing every location.

Are there restrictions on advertising for schools?

Some boards have advertising guidelines, and institutions may have their own brand and compliance rules. We review each board's guidelines and manage approvals.
