Toronto, ON -- July 14, 2011 - With over 80 registered users, the second installment of EDge Interactive’s 2011 Webinar Series was a great success. CRi presented their observations and findings on student psychographics and identified 8 distinct segments amongst first-entry undergraduates.
Psychographic segmentation is one way of understanding how students view academic institutions through their lifestyles, motivations, needs, beliefs and attitudes. Through analysis, CRi found that different universities attract very different mixes of students from each segment.
A viable psychographic segmentation system can help educational institutions to move away from relying only on demographic considerations to shape academic programs and delivery, student services and marketing-communications.
Webinar attendees were polled and 70% agree that psychographic segmentation would affect their activities for recruitment and retention. The remaining are undecided on how psychographic segmentation can be used to better respond to student needs and to improve recruitment and retention strategies.
