CHICAGO (News release) -- R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, a leading global provider of marketing and business communications services, announced the launch of an omnichannel offering designed to meet the education industry's need for elevated communications agility that maximizes the value of each step in the student journey.
The education industry is going through significant change due to COVID-19 and must evaluate how they acquire and engage students and seek business and operational efficiencies. As enrollment challenges persist, the pressure is on educational institutions to drive brand awareness, cultivate a sense of community, and maintain student safety. RRD has mobilized to offer a specialized set of solutions for pre-K through 12 instructional publishers, self-funded private schools, and higher education institutions. Designed to perform as an extension of marketing and business support teams, standout elements include:
*Personalized, education-specific programs that support recruitment strategies, instructional content, interactive online experiences, and printed curriculum for students and teachers
*Fundraising campaigns that build endowment sustainability, alumni engagement, and donor support -- with quantifiable ROI
*Touchless communications via NFC and/or QRC technologies to accommodate demand for contactless interactions
*Signage and wayfinding for all campus facilities and spaces, with the option of white-glove installation
*Customized support to help fill gaps in specific communications programs -- from integrated campaigns to multichannel billing and payment systems
"Ramping up and maintaining the student experience -- whether on campus, at home, or after graduation -- is more critical than ever," said John Pecaric, President of RRD Marketing Solutions and Business Services. "RRD's scaling power, paired with our collective ability to think beyond isolated aspects of media development, production, and delivery, has made it possible for us to help schools maximize how they recruit, retain, and re-engage."
