Trusted by admissions teams nationwide

From small liberal arts colleges to major state universities, Guidebook powers open house event planning for institutions that take yield seriously.

Stop losing prospective students to a generic experience

Most universities give every student the same printed program at prospective student events. Programs that often end up in the trash, leaving you no way to keep students engaged once they leave campus. Indiana Tech was stuck at 40% yield until they fixed this with the college open house app. Then they hit 82%.

One thing that has really helped is it has required two offices that work with our incoming students the most to be on the same track. So I onboarded Guidebook for orientation and then we immediately said we're going to use this for our admissions event.

Brittany Jackson

“With Guidebook, we use an audio tour guide to help prospective students navigate campus, learn more about university offerings, and feel part of the campus community - even if they’re unable to visit in person.”

Steven Kelly

University of Calgary

“It allows us to meet them where they are - digitally. We can engage with them on mobile devices while walking on campus. We want high engagement.”

Taylor Shelberg

CBU (California Baptist University)

“Our yield grew tremendously once we began using Guidebook.”

Andrea Crilly

Indiana Tech

“With schedules frequently changing, we needed a flexible solution to accommodate updates in real time. The team would print 40,000 programs to hand out at the events, which were costly, bad for the environment, and once printed, couldn’t be updated with constant changes.”

University of Manchester

“With Guidebook, administrators are able to create the app themselves without any IT support and non-technical content creators can easily upload and publish content.”

Meredith Aden

University of Memphis

Guidebook was a great solution because it helped students customize their own schedule, get connected to other offices on campus, and connect to each other. Right away it felt like the right fit.

I feel like Guidebook understands what we’re trying to accomplish. I’ve never had a request unanswered practically the same day in almost every case. They’re very responsive and they care a lot about making sure that we get what we need.

Leslie Dare

NC State University

I have found that the management of Guidebook for our campus doesn’t really require a lot of technical skill, it just requires some good organization skills and the ability to partner with other people on campus.

There were a number of departments coming along saying, ‘We want to build an app,’ but we don’t have the resources to build apps. The more we talked about it, the more we realized that everything we needed to do could be found in Guidebook. And, not only that, we wouldn’t have to do any development.

Leslie Dare

NC State University

“It was an absolute 10. Students were incredibly engaged in the guide and made communication with them so easy. Thank you for meeting with me prior to the event to go over the attendance manager role, everything went smoothly.”
