# Achieve 55% Inquiry-to-App Conversion With Video

#### **Case Study**: University of Vermont's Video Recruitment Strategy

The University of Vermont (UVM), like many institutions, knew they needed better content to attract the right students. But full-scale production was too big of a lift for their one-person video team.

Instead, UVM turned to CampusReel to source 65+ “day-in-the-life” videos from students. They turned each piece of content into a lead generation magnet, hitting 55% inquiry-to-application conversion and 30% inquiry-to-campus-visit conversion.

*“CampusReel won over all our other vendor partners for inquiry to app conversion! I loved seeing CampusReel in the top spot.”*   
*- Jay Jacobs, VP for Enrollment Management*

### UVM Case Study

## Authentic Student-Led Video Content

UVM's authentic video recruitment strategy not only helped reach new prospective students, but kept them engaged throughout the entire lifecycle. In the 2021-2022 enrollment cycle, UVM achieved a 15% application-to-deposit conversion from students who engaged with CampusReel videos.

*“Previously, it was hard to create a series of video content quickly and nimbly, especially with only one videographer. CampusReel took the work off our team.”   
- Aimee Frost, Digital Recruitment Specialist*
