Some 32 percent, or one-third, of lifelong learning programs, report they are under pressure to eliminate the print brochure, a disastrous move that cuts your registrations and income by half or more.
If your program is under pressure to reduce or eliminate your print brochure, email [email protected] and ask for our exclusive research report on the effects of eliminating the print brochure.
Some 47 percent of the 576 programs responding said they are Not under pressure to eliminate the print brochure, and the rest – 21 percent – said they are “Not Currently” under pressure. The margin of error is only plus or minus 5 percent on the results, so they are about as accurate as any survey results can be.
Results Vary By Constituency
By far the institutional setting most likely to be under pressure to eliminate the print brochure is continuing education units in Universities, where 47 percent said they are under pressure.
The least affected institutional setting is community education in Public Schools, where 18 percent said they are under pressure.
Recreation departments reported 26 percent under pressure; and continuing education units in Community Colleges reported 37 percent under pressure.
Elimination of your print brochure is a serious and needless threat to your program. Contact LERN for assistance in convincing your administration not to make this disastrous decision.
