How it works - choose premium or standard slots

Our listicle emails feature one premium slot and up to four standard slots. Discounts available for multiple bookings.

Our email templates have been tested and optimised to maximise response rates. Your listing will feature an image, text copy and a call-to-action button linking students directly to your preferred URL (tech specs here).

We recommend the premium slot for the greatest impact. Why not book a series of premium or standard slots to build brand awareness and reinforce your message?

Audience - targeting the right students for you

Each email is sent to at least 120,000 students. Rich first-party data allows us to identify and target your ideal prospects.

We build your audience by choosing the students who are most likely to respond to your message. Listicle emails are sent to users who have already engaged with strongly related threads or forums, or who match other key criteria such as study level, interests or location. In some cases, your audience will include an "opt in" list  -  students who have actively chosen to receive updates from our clients relating to a specific topics (e.g. Clearing).

Who we've worked with - client success stories

University example
A Midlands based university booked a standard slot in an open days listicle. They received 294 URL clicks (34% of total clicks). The other slots were also successful with 856 unique clicks overall. 

Accommodation provider
An accommodation listicle had an open rate of 70% and the total number of opens exceeded the total number of recipients. This shows the high level of engagement ad whose who did open, often opened it more than once. 

University example
A university promoted their open day in the premium slot. The listicle got 527 unique clicks total, but 381 of those unique URL clicks belonged to that university.
