GoAbroad.com began in 1997 when a group of international educators recognized a lack of available resources for the dissemination of information to students, job seekers, and volunteers interested in an international experience. Market research was conducted and a site was developed based on the results of that research. We at GoAbroad.com spend much of our time in the field visiting study abroad offices, attending student travel fairs, setting up tables in student unions and speaking directly with students, travelers and educators. The advertising space on GoAbroad.com is offered at substantially lower rates than other similar sites. We are able to offer lower ad rates because we utilize an automated database system which requires very little labor for maintenance and data entry, additionally our operating costs are off-set by retail space.

Brand recognition
Brand recognition is often the ignored reward of internet advertising. Recently, GoAbroad.com visited with a group of overseas study abroad participants. When asked how they had selected their study abroad program, the students overwhelmingly answered that they had discussed the program with their study abroad advisor, faculty, friend, or a representative of the organization and were sold. Further questioning revealed that nearly all of the students had visited at least one study abroad search directory on-line, several had visited several sites multiple times. It takes several encounters for consumers to retain a brand. International education and student travel may never be a choice that can be made with an on-line shopping cart, however the internet may well be the point at which consumers discover their options and comparative shop.

Credibility - Students are often cynical consumers. If they visit their favorite or respected source of information and cannot find your program they may not believe that you have a legitimate operation. Advertising builds credibility.
