105% Student Yield Increase

When Indiana Tech replaced printed materials with a Guidebook app, the results were immediate and impossible to ignore:

- 105% increase in student yield from Admitted Students Day attendees (from 40% to 82%).
- A process that once took 5 team members 400+ hours was drastically reduced to just 2 people and less than 25 hours.

Fewer hours? Check.
Less paper? Definitely.
More students saying yes? Absolutely.

Now that’s a faster process, a smoother experience, and a major upgrade for everyone involved.

"While we loved the beauty of printed programs, the cost, design hours, and environmental impact were wearing on us. Guidebook provided us with an application that could be edited with room changes in real-time, branded to our Association’s new brand and color stands, and available to all attendees in advance of actually arriving at the CIVSA Annual Conference."
