Crafting Success with Location Strategy
When it comes to alumni engagement, understanding the geographical dispersion of
alumni can play a pivotal role. Wartburg College, spearheaded by Ellen Engh, the
Director of Alumni & Parent Engagement, recognized this and leveraged strategic location planning to fine-tune their alumni events, providing a more targeted and personal approach.
Knights Connect: A Real-Life Success
This approach was brilliantly showcased in the "Knights Connect Networking Event"
held this past summer in Cedar Valley. Wartburg regularly hosts events like these in
different cities as a way for their alumni to network within a specific geographic area.
On this occasion, by utilizing LiveAlumni’s detailed location data, Wartburg College
managed to identify and engage with alumni in the vicinity, setting the stage for a
well-attended and impactful event. This event in Cedar Valley became a beacon of
how effective location-centric planning can be.
The Power of Precision and Strategic Location Planning
Integration of location data in event planning enables Wartburg College to craft
events that resonate deeply with their alumni. It's about fostering meaningful
connections based on shared experiences and geographical relevance.
The efforts led by Ellen Engh illustrate a model strategy where tradition meets
innovation, blending tried-and-true alumni engagement tactics with contemporary
data strategies. Their location-focused approach stands as a blueprint for other
institutions aiming to enhance their relationship with alumni through impactful and
personalized events.
By using the LiveAlumni data to identify the top geographic locations of your alumni and
then taking the extra step to build out lists to identify the alumni within each of those
top locations, we can ensure that we have an accurate representation of our
geographic distribution of alumni to target for events.
