Build stronger relationships with your alumni community
Reconnect alumni with the moments and memories that matter. SocialArchive brings your shared history to life through immersive, interactive content like photos, videos, virtual tours, and stories they can comment on, tag friends in and revisit again and again. It’s emotional, engaging and built to bring people back.
-
Personalise the alumni experience
SocialArchive uses smart segmentation, facial recognition and advanced filters, to deliver tailored content that aligns with each alumnus’s unique interests and experiences. From class groups to club involvement, you have precise control over what’s shown to whom, helping every alumnus feel recognised, valued and more connected to your community.
-
Inspire support with campaigns that connect
Your archive is your greatest fundraising asset. Use it to demonstrate impact, reinforce values and build emotional momentum behind campaigns. Deliver personalised campaigns at scale, and connect fundraising efforts to the moments and memories that matter most.
-
Manage your alumni community, your way
Bring your alumni data, content and communication tools, together in one central platform. SocialArchive gives you a built-in alumni database or integrates with systems like Raiser’s Edge, so you can streamline engagement, track relationships and give alumni a central hub they’ll actually want to visit.
-
Capture authentic alumni stories
Gather alumni reflections, career journeys or milestone memories, using built-in tools for video, audio and written contributions. Prompt with pre-set questions or let them share freely. Every submission is transcribed, categorised and ready to share or archive, building a library of voices for years to come.
-
Learn what’s working, shape what’s next
With built-in analytics and engagement insights, you’ll know which content resonates, which campaigns perform and what inspires real action. Use data to refine your strategy, grow support and demonstrate the impact of your work.
Already have an alumni platform? No problem.
Whether you’re using InTouch, Graduway, Potentiality or another CRM product, SocialArchive is designed to work alongside your current setup. We have a single sign-on capability for most of the leading products so there is seamless integration such that you can use just the SocialArchive features that you need, like facial recognition and alumni story capture, to significantly enhance what you already have.
But if you are not using the CRM product much and feel that it’s costing more than it’s delivering, maybe it is time for a change?
