Education Marketers Use Lead Quality Scoring to Boost
Enrollment and Retention Rates and Reduce Student
Loan Defaults
eBureau Scores 30 Million Education Leads Since 2008
Las Vegas, NV — June 9, 2010 — The higher education industry continues to grow at a rapid pace
as the state of the economy prompts those with undergraduate degrees or limited education to expand
their career skills and possibilities by enrolling in online universities and career colleges. eBureau, a
leader in predictive analytics for interactive marketers, has worked with over 40 leading educational
institutions and their advertising agencies to maximize new student enrollment and retention rates
through proven lead quality scoring solutions that identify which online leads are most likely to ap-
ply, enroll and stay enrolled. By focusing cost-per-lead online advertising and recruitment efforts on
prospects most likely to stay enrolled and persist through graduation, marketers can address an im-
portant concern among schools today - managing student loan default rates.
Enrollment in online education schools is expected to grow about 18 percent in 2010, according to
Gerry DiGiusto, an analyst with higher education research firm Eduventures (Reuters 2009). To help
education marketers maximize this growth, eBureau has developed custom scores that measure the
quality of each student lead. To date, eBureau has scored more than 30 million leads for the higher
education industry in real-time to help its clients develop cost-effective strategies that maximize their
investments in online advertising, including cost-per-lead and display advertising.
“Real-time lead quality scoring has proven itself as a valuable tool for education marketers to boost
enrollment and retention rates,” said Jeff Liebl, executive vice president, sales and marketing, eBu-
reau. “Additionally, by focusing marketing recruitment efforts on those prospects most likely to en-
roll and persist through graduation, schools can accomplish another important goal: managing stu-
dent loan default rates.”
Recently, eBureau announced a new lead quality management solution that schools of all sizes can
