Internet and other publicity
To get the word out about the medical transcription school, the website is mainly used. We also rely on word-of-mouth (which I consider the best advertisement) and informational sessions every 3 months.
Having a column on the right for current happenings is a fresh idea to incorporate.
Taking credit cards in the past was so expensive that I went to strictly to checks and money orders for payment. It has definitely hurt enrollment. Recently the credit card companies have sent out promotional material to take their credit cards online. This is worth the time to investigate.
Have any of you found reliable, honest companies to take credit cards for your school?
Hi Janet
Many schools are discovering that the best students come from word of mouth and their own websites. YOu hold information sessions every 3 months. What about once each month on the same day of the month - like the first Wednesday? Get your community aware that it's a monthly event. Not sure what you mean by taking credit cards on line. Can you provide more info? Many schools use credit cards as a method for tuition payments. They automatically deduct the fees from students each month. So it seems that eliminating credit cards will certainly continue to be a hardship on the school and students.
Best wishes, Susan
