Bring Your Mascot to Life: A Fresh Way to Boost Alumni Engagement
At Progress Printing Plus, we know alumni publications do more than share updates; they connect generations of graduates back to their alma mater. But with busy lives and crowded inboxes, engaging alumni in a meaningful way takes creativity. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new mascot perf-out mailer, a fun, interactive insert that’s perfect for pairing with your alumni magazine or newsletter.
Why a Mascot Perf-out?
School mascots are powerful symbols. They spark pride, nostalgia, and a sense of belonging. By including a perf-out version of your mascot inside your publication, you give alumni something they can:
Display proudly on desks, refrigerators, or dorm walls.
Share with kids or family, passing along school spirit.
Bring along to events, creating a visible show of pride in the stands.
It’s not just a keepsake; it’s a conversation starter.
Turning Pride into Participation
Alumni love to feel connected, but one of the biggest challenges schools face is turning that connection into action, like attending events or reunions. A mascot perf-out makes your publication more memorable and increases the likelihood that alumni will engage with your content. Imagine a perf-out paired with an event promotion:
A “See You at Homecoming” headline with the mascot in hand.
A reunion invitation featuring a mascot perf-out they can bring to the photo booth.
A calendar of events alongside the perf-out, keeping school spirit top of mind all year.
When readers interact with their publication in a tangible way, they’re more likely to take the next step, showing up, sharing, and celebrating.
A Fresh Approach to Alumni Communications
Adding a perf-out is a small touch with a big impact. It blends the strengths of print… tactile, lasting, personal… with an element of fun and nostalgia. For schools looking to stand out in their alumni engagement efforts, this innovative idea can help:
Increase event attendance by keeping your mascot in sight and top-of-mind.
Boost readership with a publication that feels more interactive.
Strengthen alumni pride with a keepsake that carries emotional value.
Let’s Brainstorm Together
At Progress Printing Plus, we’re passionate about helping schools and organizations bring their messages to life in creative, effective ways. If you’re ready to try something new with your alumni magazine or newsletter, our team would love to show you how a mascot perf-out mailer can work for your next issue.
After all, alumni publications are more than just updates. They’re invitations to stay connected. And what better way to say “see you soon” than with a mascot that shows up in the mailbox before it shows up on the field?
