“This was the first time I have done this but this was an awesome idea very beneficial for applicants who have to work and can not visit the campus right now!!! Great job!!!”

“This was the most economical, high impact event we have ever participated in. I talked with my director about possibly doing fairs like this on a quarterly basis.”

“Extremely efficient; much positive faculty feedback; cost-effective.”

“We’ve been very successful with the fairs in the past so I’m looking forward to another set of productive fairs!”

“Feedback was almost immediate and helpful. It gave our school very valuable information for recruitment. The data package is great.”

“I was able to talk with many more students than I might otherwise. It saved us money, and most importantly, I was able to provide them with information they needed right away (by linking to our website).”

“We have tried something similar before; however, we had much better results from CareerEco’s fair. The students were well prepared and this event generated much interest in our programs. We felt the communication sent to all participants helped make this event very successful and we will definitely be participating in future events.”

“The Virtual Fair is a cost-effective means of reaching several hundred students. We really valued the visibility and diversity of students we could reach worldwide.”

“This was our first time attending a virtual fair and the experience was great. We were able to talk with multiple students with interest in our programs. Now we can add these students to our prospective student list and hope to turn their interest into application and matriculation. Nowhere else could we have communicated with the variety of students we had in our chat rooms.

“This was a great opportunity to connect with prospective applicants who live in areas we are not able to travel to.”

“Virtual Fairs not only connect in an additional way with our own students, we also have the opportunity to strengthen the diversity of the pool to which we are exposed, and from which we’ll accept students.”

“The ease with which this fair and school pages, etc. was set up in comparison to others I’ve done was wonderful! It was much easier, and honestly, a lot more interactive. Support staff (they helped so much!!!!) Great communications. Thank you, CareerEco for helping me improve enrollment at my school!”

“It was a wonderful experience chatting with students and having the capability to do it from my own work desk.”

“This is an excellent way to have contact with students that we normally would not. It also was a wonderful opportunity to speak directly with them and answer all of their questions.”

“These fairs are able to provide information in a quick format for students looking to clarify or ask simple questions. Being able to have prefabbed answers stored to answer the most frequently asked questions was a very dynamic feature that I did use often.”

“It was a great way to reach students.”

“The Virtual Fair was an excellent way to reach a number of students in a short amount of time. I thought two days and the open hours were exactly enough time.”

“I would be delighted to participate in any future Virtual Fair events.

“The Virtual Fair allowed me to increase production at and away from desk. As one of the go-to persons for Admissions and Advising, I was able to academically advise several applicants while at the same time, perform various administrative tasks.”

“Organized, helpful, and we were able to make connections.”

“There were many students who had questions that were easily answered to their specifications in a much shorter timeframe than email or phone conversations of the same.”

“I thought we had a good number of participants and the fair was very easy to use.”

“loved to have prefabbed answers already loaded up and to simply click on and send to either an individual student, or the whole chat room. Was very nice!”

“I was happy with the interaction. I like the option of being able to chat privately with them or just with the group.”

“We do believe our goals were achieved … significant amount of ‘traffic’ with lots of good questions and follow-up communication.”

“Surprisingly, I only had one student who requested a video chat with me. It was very successful and I was able to provide him with a lot of information and the feature worked seemlessly!

Testimonials from Participating Students

“It was very beneficial and I believe that it will be helpful during the application process.”

“The Virtual Fair was such a great way for prospective students to learn more about schools that interest them. The representatives from the schools were very eager to answer my questions and I was very well informed by the schools I chatted with.”

“School reps were very willing to talk and listen in this nonformal setting. This information could be very helpful during the application process!”

“I found it very helpful to chat with schools that I would not be able to visit, due to time and costs of travel.”

“I received a lot of information from the fair. I am grateful for this opportunity provided by you guys!”

“I really, really appreciated being able to speak with those who take part in the decision making for the schools. They gave good insight. I also learned from other participants as they asked questions.”

“This fair is incredibly informative, I wish I heard of this fair last year to help me when choosing my schools.”

“It was very helpful to be able to ask questions to many different schools and receive quick responses. Also, I could observe others’ questions that I had not thought to ask.
It is a really innovative way of getting to know how all this “applying to universities” is, and you can get all your questions answered, helping you have a better idea of where you want to go study.”

“Participation is very cheap, no travel expenses and access to information is even quicker.”

“The Virtual Fair was extremely convenient and useful. I was able to communicate with multiple schools of my interest and ask questions. This Virtual Fair also saved me time and travelings fees if I were to visit the schools’ campuses instead.”

“Awesome information.”

“I thought the fair was a great opportunity to be exposed to schools that I had never even thought of. It was a great experience and helped answer a lot of questions. It was nice to have the instant one-on-one interaction.”

“It wildly exceeded my expectations.”

“This was a great idea. The whole system was very user friendly.”

“I feel that this was great concept for seeing so many colleges and universities in different areas, and learning about more about them. It gave me an opportunity to ask questions that may not have been answered on their website and to see other potential students’ questions that I may not have thought to ask.”

“Make sure to keep this Virtual Fair. Re-do it again sometime soon.”
