🎓 Higher Education

Here's How it Works

• Import contacts: Set up your contact lists, whether it’s students, event registrants, alumni/donors, or staff/faculty. You can convert your existing lists to connect and engage with your biggest fans.
• Capture new signups: Use a Rally QR code, our handy shortcode (24365), or one of our pre-built web forms to grow your list from your other marketing efforts (for example, email, social media, or mailers).
• Narrow your focus: Use tags to segment your list and reach the exact audience you want. You can also use Rally Insights to zero in on demographics. 
• Write your message: You can create your own message or pick from one of our 125+ pre-written templates. You can engage supporters, raise money, and connect in a crisis. Boost engagement by using images or video.
• Send: Send your text. It’s that easy.
• Reply: Make it personal by engaging with responses. Our sentiment analysis helps you spot urgent replies that require a response.

For Example

Here’s how Rally can help your institution:

• Reach new students: Today’s students are on their phones and that’s where you should reach them. Use our shortcode with a keyword to quickly connect and engage.
• Campus-wide alerts: Use text alerts to let your campus know about emergencies, weather closures, construction, and more. 
• Event engagement: Send reminders, parking instructions, last-minute updates, and more for your next event.
• Alumni donations: Build connections with alumni and strengthen that endowment with simple text-to-donate options. 

Do More

• Voice: How about a famous alumni inviting prospective students to your next recruiting event? Use ringless voicemail to send a recorded audio message just like a text.
• Momentum: Supercharge your next fundraiser by showing progress toward a goal with the fundraising thermometer.
• Strategy: More than just texting, we can help you develop a mobile marketing strategy to reach people where they’re at—on their devices.
