Ready to shake up your recruitment strategy? Conjure the remarkable “reward" side of the risk/reward ratio by revisiting the
JCamp 180 Enrollment ROI tool, and then allocate some resources to a new target market abroad.
For example, Camp Ramah in the Rockies
began a relationship with the Jewish community of Mexico City in 2013. This relationship is now yielding twenty Jewish-Mexican campers each summer. Even as a one-time new recruitment achievement, that conservatively represents
$140,000 net revenue after
six years (using our ROI tool). Just consider the value on a recurring basis!
And beyond the substantial enrollment and revenue implications, these new campers are a powerful expression of the camp’s mission. They also drove a fascinating new programming direction, which has the potential to increase domestic recruitment and retention as well.
What new market might you tap into in your camp enrollment efforts?
