HOW IT WORKS

Start by laying out all the milestones, events, and important dates on your stewardship calendar. This could include alumni anniversaries, graduation ceremonies, or even national holidays. By mapping out these dates, you’ll be well-prepared to craft meaningful messages ahead of time.

Example: Outline key university events, alumni birthdays, and significant holidays to ensure you’re always ready to connect in a timely manner.

Utilize our diverse library of media templates, tailored to various events and occasions. Customize them further to resonate with your audience while retaining the university’s unique voice and branding. This ensures consistency while leaving room for personal touches.

Example: Design a festive media template for the holiday season, ensuring it aligns with the university’s branding and messaging tone.

With Stakd, bulk personalization is a breeze. Input your list and watch as each piece of media is uniquely tailored to its recipient, ensuring every donor feels individually acknowledged and valued.

Example: From your list of 500 alumni, create 500 unique holiday greetings, each addressing the alumnus by name and referencing their graduation year.

Never miss an opportunity to connect. With Stakd’s scheduling feature, queue up your personalized messages to be sent out at optimal times, ensuring they reach your audience exactly when you want them to.

Example: Prepare for Alumni Day by scheduling personalized media messages to be sent out two weeks in advance, reminding alumni of the upcoming event.

Sit back and watch as Stakd works its magic. With personalization at scale, your donors receive messages that feel hand-crafted just for them, driving engagement and fostering lasting relationships—all on autopilot.

Example: As Alumni Day approaches, Stakd automatically sends out your messages, each tailored to the recipient, fostering a deeper connection without any manual intervention.
