want to sincerely thank you for your confidence and support.\u00a0 We&#8217;d like to take a few minutes of your time and remind you of the various features of Abroad101, and hope that as the semester ends you will find ways to use it in your work in advancing study abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Abroad101 is all about reviews and ratings, so we thought we&#8217;d put you to the test.\u00a0 Please rate yourself

and case studies in presentations at Academic Conferences and include Abroad101 in those sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The above exercise was designed to show you that Abroad101 is more than just a pretty website, it is a platform to capture and share the study abroad experience.\u00a0 It takes a concept as simple as a review, and turns it into something very powerful by taking advantage of a standard set of questions, a sophisticated publishing system and a set of tools built specifically for advisors.\u00a0 You will get a lot from Abroad101 if you invest some time and effort into harnessing its great potential.\u00a0 The system is designed to be Fast \u2013 Free \u2013 Easy.\u00a0 The rest is up to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s1\">Now is the time to Send Review Invites<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nAs students from the fall semester return home, now is the perfect time to send the invitation to submit reviews.\u00a0 It is our experience that students will submit reviews when invited, but rarely on their own.\u00a0 Over 70% of all reviews on Abroad101 come from the invitation of advisors, so please login to your account, use the Invite Tool and get those reviews flowing.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, it&#8217;s never too late to draw a review so if you&#8217;ve not sent an invitation in a while, or you tried other means than the Abroad101 Invite Tool, please come back and use the Invite Tool for summer and even spring of 2014 participants.\u00a0 The Invite Tool is smart enough not to send invites to student who have already been invited and won&#8217;t send a reminder to those who have already completed a review.<\/p>\n<p>Also note that reviews collected in 2014 or the result of an invitation issued from Abroad101 in 2014 will be considered for our annual rankings.\u00a0 Send your invitations by December 31 and those reviews will automatically be entered into the rankings process.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s1\">Improving Review Participation<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nA few key words will impact participation.\u00a0 Request\/Require is the big one, indicating that you require reviews will likely drive more students to submit reviews.\u00a0 To help improve the quality of those reviews, your message might also include the idea that submitting a review is good for the student.\u00a0 Feel free to use or paraphrase this text:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><i>Your review will be published on the Abroad101 website and will become its own webpage.\u00a0\u00a0This creates a great place to showcase your experience and use it to open doors to your career.\u00a0\u00a0Employers are looking for people with an international background and your review on Abroad101 is a perfect place to jump-start your career.\u00a0\u00a0We suggest you view the review as a writing sample and a chance to show the real you.\u00a0\u00a0Show future employers and recruiters that you can be constructive in your criticism, take responsibility for your outcomes, be reflective and be forward thinking.\u00a0\u00a0State your new worldview and use the review as your place to shine.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our experience shows that invites issued directly through our tool have a higher yield rate, perhaps it is the reminders or perhaps it is the link specifically to the submit review form (as opposed to finding the program, then clicking the &#8220;review&#8221; icon). \u00a0When invitations go out from our system, they average 15% completion rates when the request reviews button is selected, much higher if the &#8220;require reviews&#8221; button is selected.<\/p>\n<p>If using your own means to draw reviews has response rates that are much lower, perhaps you might consider running one set of names through our system and another set through your direct list and do analysis on their conversions; A\/B Testing as we like to call this process.\u00a0 It may also help conversions if, in your external message, you provide a link directly to the page to start submitting a review:<br \/>\n<span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/www.studyabroad101.com\/reviews\/new<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s1\">Reviews Are Social Media:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nLike other forms of Social Media, Abroad101 is designed for sharing.\u00a0 Reviews on Abroad101 are given a unique and permanent web address, provide comment sections and are distributed through a number of outlets.\u00a0 On Abroad101, reviews are summarized by program, by provider, by home institution and by host institution (if applicable), each with their own fixed web page address.\u00a0 Reviews are streamed to third parties through electronic feeds, software widgets and our associated community pages on Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>As you manage your own marketing and promotion efforts on campus, we hope you will utilize the Abroad101 content as much as possible.\u00a0 As our &#8220;What Kind of Abroad101 Advisor Are You Quiz&#8221; highlights, there are ample ways to take data from Abroad101 and filter it to your student audience (web links to your university portal on Abroad101, web links to specific program pages, widgets, RSS feeds and APIs.)\u00a0 Turning these into Social Media posts of your own is one way to utilize Abroad101 as Social Media content for your office; featuring programs and reviews are others.<\/p>\n<p>Each day Abroad101 pushes several programs and up to half a dozen reviews into our Social Media networks.\u00a0 The Cool Program of the Week and Student of the Week are two popular items to share with your social media followers.\u00a0 We also put programs from our advertisers out as Social Media content, we hope that you will share some of these as well.\u00a0 Reviews with their catchy titles and photos can themselves be fantastic content for your Social Media.\u00a0 If you aren&#8217;t following us, please do.\u00a0 Then when good material comes across your account, please like it, share it and use it to keep your followers engaged.\u00a0 Reviews are Social Media and are most beneficial when shared.<\/p>\n<p><a
