Higher Ed Challenges

Due to an unprecedented 2.6 million decline in total students over the last decade, colleges and universities are investing more in advertising, marketing, and promotion. This marketing and advertising boom by colleges and universities is in response to the enrollment cliff and the increasing public skepticism towards the need to attend college.

A SimpsonScarborough survey found that colleges and universities spend between $429 and $623 on marketing per year per enrolled student.

66.6% of surveyed colleges
issue printed viewbooks.

Print is an essential communication tool for colleges and universities because it can increase student engagement. With printed pieces that resonate with prospective students, they love to share them on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat feeds.

“In my time working with them, The Standard Group has made for an exemplary partner. Their craftsmanship and acumen have enabled us to produce high-quality print designs on a consistent basis. That, and their exceptional client service, is why we regularly entrust them with some of our most visible pieces.”

– John Lepak,
Design Director, The New School
