University Alumni

We work with alumni departments of a number of universities across the UK.  They use our services to increase fundraising and alumni engagement by communicating with more alumni members than ever before. 

By improving the accuracy of your alumni database and tracing lapsed alumni you too can increase your membership in the UK and internationally.  

Our solutions for university alumni include;

Improve the quality of your alumni database

Many university alumni send an annual or bi-annual magazine which is expensive to produce and post but an important part of alumni engagement and communication.  Increase readership of your magazine by ensuring it reaches the intended recipient, returns are minimal and that you have traced lapsed alumni to their new address.

Upload your alumni database to our secure online database cleansing software View.  You don't need to be a data expert to use View and its competitively priced so you upload your whole database. 

View will; 

• Correct spelling & typographic errors
• Confirm each address is valid and includes a postcode
• Check the person lives at the address and if not provide a new address where possible

Reunite with lapsed alumni in UK & Internationally

A recent survey conducted by Royal Mail identified that under 35's have already lived in 5 homes on average - one more than their parents in their lifetime.  This makes keeping in touch with alumni even more difficult than before. 

Using our online database cleansing software View you can trace alumni using National Change of Address File from Royal Mail and our expert tracing algorithms using radius searching, date's of births and co-habitees.

In 2009/10 international students accounted for 15% of the student population which was an increase from the previous year.   As the international student population grows so too does the international alumni population.  In conjunction with our data partners we can trace alumni in over 240 countries internationally. 

Our data management software can recognise an UK address and suppress it from the process so you are not charged twice.  The non-UK data can then be sent to our data partner for tracing using their international alumni tracing services.
