A+ Test Prep and Tutoring, a well-established educational institution located in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, has been serving students and families for nearly three decades. Committed to helping students succeed academically and in life, A+ Tutoring faced the challenge of managing their growing customer base efficiently. In this case study, we explore how EngageBay, an all-in-one marketing, sales, and customer support solution, helped A+ Tutoring replace six standalone tools while reducing their monthly costs by a staggering 8X.
EngageBay offered more than we expected, which was obviously good news for us. We cut down multiple tools and saved hundreds of dollars every month. But what amazed us the most was that moving to EngageBay helped us reach out better and improve brand awareness.
Synopsis: About A+ Test Prep and Tutoring
A+ Test Prep and Tutoring has been a trusted name in the field of college admissions guidance and academic tutoring for almost 30 years. Founded on strong values, they assist students in building the skills necessary for success in both their academic and personal lives. Over time, their reputation grew, resulting in a significant increase in customers and demands for their services.
The Challenge: Multiple Standalone Tools
A decade ago, A+ Tutoring used spreadsheets to manage their customer and lead data due to their smaller customer base. As their clientele expanded, they needed more sophisticated tools to keep pace with the growing demand. Prior to adopting EngageBay, A+ Tutoring employed the following standalone tools:
Clickfunnels – For lead capture and generation.
Unbounce – To design landing pages and gather visitor insights.
Calendly – To streamline appointment scheduling and tracking.
Mailchimp – For launching marketing campaigns and newsletters.
HubSpot Free CRM – For contact management and segmentation.
Freshsales – To manage their sales pipeline.
While these tools initially served their purpose, they led to several challenges, including high onboarding costs, multiple subscription fees, and fragmented customer data.
EngageBay offered more than we expected, which was obviously good news for us. We cut down multiple tools and saved hundreds of dollars every month. But what amazed us the most was that moving to EngageBay helped us reach out better and improve brand awareness.
