Driving Targeted Lead Generation for CSCT Campus
At Avantous, our expertise in growth marketing helped us craft an effective lead generation campaign for the Colombo School of Construction Technology (CSCT). The goal was to increase student enrollment by identifying and engaging a high-potential market segment through data-driven research, awareness-building efforts, and optimized lead generation techniques.
We began with a thorough market research analysis to identify the most promising audience segments for CSCT's programs. This involved demographic and psychographic profiling, where we used insights from existing student data, industry reports, and educational trends to build detailed profiles of potential students. We focused on factors like age, educational background, career aspirations, and geographic location. Additionally, we conducted competitor analysis to understand how other educational institutions targeted their audiences, which helped us identify market gaps and opportunities for CSCT. By leveraging online tools and social media insights, we tracked behaviors and interests, enabling us to pinpoint a core market segment of young professionals and school leavers interested in construction and built environment fields.
With a clear understanding of the target audience, we launched a multi-channel awareness campaign. This included social media marketing, where we created targeted ads on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. By leveraging interest-based targeting and lookalike audiences, we increased visibility among individuals likely to pursue construction-related careers.
After building awareness, our next focus was converting interested users into leads. We created dedicated landing pages tailored to each audience segment, designed with clear, compelling messaging that showcased program benefits and student success stories. We introduced lead magnets such as downloadable brochures and career guides related to construction technology, providing immediate value to potential students while capturing their contact information. Once leads were captured, we set up automated email sequences to nurture them, offering personalized program recommendations, success stories, and reminders about application deadlines to maintain engagement and encourage enrollment.
Throughout the campaign, we closely monitored performance using data analytics and key performance indicators (KPIs). We tracked metrics such as conversion rates from landing page visitors to inquiries, cost per lead (CPL) to ensure the campaign's cost-effectiveness, and engagement rates on social media and email to assess content effectiveness. By employing A/B testing for ad creatives, landing page designs, and email messaging, we continually refined our approach, improving conversion rates over time.
The campaign delivered exceptional results, attracting a substantial number of high-quality leads from the identified market segment, many of whom showed strong intent to enroll in CSCT’s programs. Our targeted content and ad strategy led to increased engagement across all channels, driving higher traffic to CSCT’s website and optimizing conversion rates, ultimately turning interested prospects into qualified leads.
In conclusion, this lead generation campaign for CSCT demonstrated the importance of a data-driven, segmented marketing approach in reaching and converting the right audience. By combining market research, targeted awareness efforts, and optimized lead generation techniques, Avantous successfully positioned CSCT to capture high-potential students and improve enrollment outcomes.
