Design, Timeline and Distribution

Study Design

Each Alumni Attitude Study© is custom tailored.  The Study provides strategic insights on your alumni’s preferences.  This includes their thoughts on communications, programming and other institutional advancement efforts.
Your study findings will focus on the factors most influencing:
  • Institutional loyalty.
  • Affinity and engagement.
  • Alumni communication (both messaging and channels).
  • Alumni programming.
  • Giving.
  • Institutional branding.

Project Timeline

You can schedule your Alumni Attitude Study© at your convenience. We blend our Study timelines with your unique communications and development calendars.
 
We’ve done studies in as little as 1 month, but most studies take about 3 months to complete.
 
We maintain an comprehensive library of survey questions. This allows you to customize the Study to address your institution’s unique needs.
 
Alumni Attitude Study© professionals have extensive administration and project management experience. They have the know-how to deliver the right survey elements, with the right methods at the right time. They also know how to engage the most alumni both during and after your Study. Their experience and know-how maximizes the Study’s benefits to your institution.
