The flimp video email campaign was delivered to the class of 2012 admitted students the day after receiving their online acceptance.
“The timing of the video email campaign was impeccable. For these students, we were able to combine the enthusiasm of being accepted to Davidson with the energy and excitement surrounding the success of our basketball team” according to Dave Mabe, Assistant Dean of Admissions at Davidson. “We never could have done something like this on such short notice without the FLIMP technology and Flimp Media’s supportive and responsive staff.
