Alumni advocates act on behalf of your institution, where they spread <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weareglacier.org\/higher-education-marketing-blog\/brand-awareness-important-higher-ed-marketing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brand awareness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and help you develop a strong reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introducing alumni ambassadors and advocacy programs can help to increase the amount of content and referrals that alumni share about an organization. The idea is to get your most engaged alumni to act as advocates. This increases your reach, and it allows for more authentic recommendations and content being shared.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most simple form of alumni advocacy would be your alumni sharing your content on social media, or the likes of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Advocay-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Advocay-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Advocay-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Advocay-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Advocay.jpg 1084w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Introduce an Alumni Advocacy Program<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alumni advocacy program can be one of the most effective and useful strategies for alumni marketing. Here are a few important steps to help you get started with alumni advocacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.\u00a0 Determine the Program\u2019s Focus<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to understand which area the alumni advocacy program will be centered around. The program could be open to all university alumni, or it could be aimed at only a single niche alumni area (I.e. new graduates, mature alumni, existing donors, and so on).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By understanding exactly who the alumni advocacy program will be targeting, you\u2019ll be able to create more relevant marketing content to attract, entice and impress them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tree-2987962_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tree-2987962_640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tree-2987962_640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.\u00a0 Determine the Goals of the program\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alumni advocacy is not only about spreading general brand awareness. You could run targeted alumni advocacy campaigns geared towards specific goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you might want to focus the program on fundraising efforts or try to drive up admissions through your alumni network. Having a clear goal to start with will help you develop a more targeted and effective alumni advocacy program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cpntent-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cpntent-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cpntent-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cpntent-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cpntent.jpg 1084w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Create the Right Alumni Advocacy Content<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have identified your audience and your goals, the next step is to formulate valuable content to share with your audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more relevant the content, the greater your alumni engagement will be. The more engaged your alumni are, the more they are likely to refer back to your institution &#8211; and ultimately, the more effective your advocacy program will be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20944038-Converted.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20944038-Converted-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20944038-Converted-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20944038-Converted-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20944038-Converted.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Spread Awareness to Your Alumni<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have the content, so now the next step is to start getting your alumni actively involved. This will involve marketing directly to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your organization can achieve this through traditional marketing channels. Some of the most effective options include email newsletters, social media updates, and any other marketing channels that you already use for alumni engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the right alumni networking platform will enable you to get your alumni actively involved. And you will also be able to target specific areas of your alumni network and increase engagement between your alumni.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An effective platform will allow you to share content, encourage your alumni network to get involved in engaging with this content and send targeted communications to specific alumni.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more consistently you promote your alumni advocacy content, the more effectively you will be able to generate alumni advocacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Employee-Incentive-Programs.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Employee-Incentive-Programs-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Employee-Incentive-Programs-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Employee-Incentive-Programs.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.\u00a0 Increase Engagement With Incentives<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to earn more participation and engagement, consider including strong incentives, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/six-member-benefit-ideas-for-your-network\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">member benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to help your alumni share your content.

This can help you to develop a greater level of alumni advocacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some incentives could include special invitations or tickets to events, branded merchandise, special access to certain content, or anything else that would help you attract the attention of your alumni.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering branded merchandise is a great strategy because it not only adds an incentive but the branded merchandise also acts as a tool for promoting your institution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/social-media-5187243_640-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/social-media-5187243_640-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/social-media-5187243_640-2.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.\u00a0 Build a Strong Alumni Network\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best ways to build an engaged alumni community is to develop a strong network. This will help to create relationships between alumni as well as your institution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve this, you should focus on making networking convenient and accessible. Use an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/aluminate-for-education\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online alumni platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that makes it easy for alumni to connect and communicate with each other. Introduce alumni mentorship programs, host industry-specific alumni networking events, and maintain this engagement year-round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more engaged your alumni are with each other, the greater the levels of alumni advocacy will be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/engagemebnt-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/engagemebnt-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/engagemebnt-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/engagemebnt-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/engagemebnt.jpg 1084w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does Alumni Advocacy Increase Engagement?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alumni advocacy marketing is centered around sending innovative content to your alumni. Executing this effectively will help you generate more engagement and develop stronger advocates for your institution. Here are three of the major reasons why:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Provides Continous Engagement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest goals for institutions reaching out to their alumni is for fundraising purposes. This type of alumni engagement strategy can feel one-sided, which prevents alumni from getting fully engaged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with an ongoing alumni advocacy program, you will be engaging with your alumni year-round. By sharing the type of content that interests them and getting them actively involved in the alumni network, you will be able to generate consistent engagement from your alumni.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7630-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7630-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7630-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7630-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7630.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeps Alumni Informed\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alumni advocacy program should aim to consistently send news and updates to your alumni. Keeping alumni up to date is important for driving consistent and meaningful engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matches the Interests of All Alumni<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alumni advocacy program should be completely flexible to match the interests of different alumni. Instead of running a single advocacy program, your institution can run multiple alumni advocacy programs targeted at different alumni groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using this tailored approach will help you create more targeted content for specific alumni packs. This means they will care more about what you share, which will result in greater levels of engagement. The more flexible you are able to make your alumni engagement efforts, the more rewarding they are likely to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/build-your-community-plate-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/build-your-community-plate-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/build-your-community-plate-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/build-your-community-plate-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.aluminati.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/build-your-community-plate.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The art of alumni advocacy comes down to sharing valuable and innovative content with your alumni. This will encourage participation and engagement, both in referring your institution and creating highly engaged alumni networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A highly engaged alumni network is one of the most valuable assets for any institution. By following the right alumni engagement strategies and using the right alumni engagement platform, you will be able to develop a strong network of alumni advocates.
