Low Enrollment, Staff Shortages,
Failed Tax Initiatives?

The Target River team is consistently thorough, creative, and responsive to our needs. They designed our campaign to tell the unique stories of our schools and it's helping our community to see them in a new light. We are seeing the results through increased contacts and interest. Target River is a great partner for us!

We entered into an agreement with Target River to help us develop strategic marketing to help in our recruitment campaign. Our goal was to fill in difficult vacancies throughout Queen Creek Unified School District. Thanks to their amazing work, we have reduced our vacancies by 50% across all district areas, particularly in the transportation department. We are very close to hitting our target range of 35 additional hires and staff members. This is all thanks to Target River’s high-quality consulting services. Not only are they responsive to our requests, but they are also collaborative in our decision-making and support our overall goals. If we have any questions, they answer them promptly and propose solutions and other options to roadblocks or delays based on the data we’ve reviewed. They have been punctual in their timeline and produce any requested modifications in a timely matter. As our ads go live, Target River keeps us updated on progress and responds promptly to additional consultations to review our performance. They have worked wonderfully within our budget and offered many options at reasonable rates, whether for additional action items or collaborative ideas. Overall, we highly recommend Target River’s services to anyone seeking them.

I cannot say enough about the positive character of Brian Epperson. I first became acquainted with Brian through his professional service and it quickly became apparent that he and his associates operate out of kindness and care rather than profits and personal gain. Brian demonstrated sincere concern for our community. He applied himself to understanding who we are, identifying our needs and helped us realize how to leverage our abilities and resources to realize our potential. All of Brian’s associates exhibit the same sincere care for our most important stakeholders, our students, personified by Brian and his leadership.

I am pleased to share my sincere appreciation to Target River for their exceptional support during our recent enrollment campaign. As the Superintendent of Los Alamitos Unified School District, fostering a thriving and vibrant student community is paramount, and Target River played a pivotal role in achieving this goal. Collaborating to address an anticipated enrollment decline, Target River executed a comprehensive marketing strategy through social media, radio, TV, and direct mailing. Despite projecting a loss of nearly 150 students, we experienced a marginal decrease of fewer than five students from the previous year. This success underscores Target River’s strategic approach and innovative solutions. I wholeheartedly recommend Target River as a dedicated, results-driven marketing partner that positively impacted our school district’s vitality.

Our partnership with Target River resulted in a TK/Kindergarten enrollment campaign that reached a broad yet focused audience who were most likely to respond to our district’s unique offerings. The process was easy and the outcome positive, with increased interest in both our early education programs and our district overall. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Target River!
