Peer-to-peer marketing may be one of the most underutilized strategies for American colleges and universities today.

Several studies show that current students are Gen Z’s most preferred source of information about prospective colleges and universities after school websites. Many students are ready and willing to answer their fellow Gen Z’s questions through peer-to-peer marketing, and the barrier to entry is much lower than you may think.
