I can see it from both sides. In fact, I am testing it right now where my class schedule is not so obvious on my site to see the impact on response. So far, hiding it has decreased responses to my trial program offer. Ryan T,

Thanks for the comment. I can see it from both sides. In fact, I am testing it right now where my class schedule is not so obvious on my site to see the impact on response. So far, hiding it has decreased responses to my trial program offer.

I've had students who have adjust thier schedules to our academy because they understand how much our classes have done for them. If I put up the schedule online, they might have never come through the door. I agree about not putting up your schedule. I wouldn’t want someone to qualify a schedule on their own.

They don't source that data so I'm not sure where they pulled that number from. Your schedule can decrease response but it can also qualify prospects better and increase the quality of people who contact you. If you get 34% increase in people who can't make it to your classes anyway, are those quality prospects you want to spend your time on when you could be focused on more qualified prospects?

Well said. I've been reaping the rewards since 2001 with mine and have never looked back! m.a.l.s, I couldn’t agree more with your statement about good websites don’t cost, they pay. Well said.

Its not alone, its appalling how many MA schools have out-dated and incomplete web sites. I know in many cases it is because they got the site in barter with a student or parent of a student. Most MA schools seem to be about 10 years behind when it comes to fully utilizing the power of the internet to market their business. Good web sites don't cost, they pay! What a great post!
