How to boost the productivity of every college fair

If you or your colleagues ever visit high schools or college fairs to talk with prospective students, here’s a tactic that can maximize your time there.

Inevitably, someone is going to miss the chance to see you in person. Either you’re swamped with salivating fans and don’t have time to field every question, or you’re getting coffee when a devoted student shows up.

If you host a webchat in conjunction with the event, you can catch these eager prospects right when they’re already thinking about your institution. The key is to set up a specific time, and publicize this on your table or booth.

“If you missed talking to Gary, he’ll be answering all your questions via live chat at 7 p.m. this evening. Here’s the URL for the chat room.”

You can easily run the chat from your car or hotel room, making this a low-stress way to boost your efforts. Whether your chat draws a crowd, or allows an intimate one-on-one conversation, everybody wins.
