October meeting in the books!

Thank you to Jackie for hosting us last week!  We really enjoyed hearing Alex Slaughter talk about the admissions process, the evolution of admissions, and the slowing down of the growth as A&M and College Station try to adjust to larger and larger enrollment.
Here is a snapshot of what we learned:
  • Overall there is a 58% acceptance rate.  10% of the overall applicants are from out of state and approximately 6% of those accepted are from out of state.
  • Texas student’s have priority – mandated by Texas Law that no more than 10% of total enrollment can be from out of state.
  • TAMU is still a test optional admission – however most students are still submitting scores and they are high.
  • Extra curricular activities are very important, especially leadership roles in organizations.

Howdy Aggie Moms! GAME ON!

We are so excited to come alongside each of your clubs to help you raise as much money as possible to support your Aggies!

We have included here a collection of email templates as well as social media posts and captions to promote your campaign.

But first and foremost let’s talk about how to get the most out of your fundraiser!

Here is where you can keep up with your progress:

https://www.vacanva.com/aggie-moms-portrait-fundraiser-race-2024

Best Practices For Success:

Please remember that if you do not promote your fundraiser, nobody will know you are running it!

***You are NOT LIMITED to sharing the posts on your official social media. Feel free to share the fundraising assets (graphics and copy) with your members to promote on their personal channels.

***You are NOT LIMITED to selling sessions to your members. You are welcome to sell to friends and family and your community.

***This is the power of MOMS! We have the opportunity to raise tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship dollars so share, share, share!

3 Main Campaign Assets:

Portal Link: https://www.vacanva.com/Denver-aggie-moms-fundraiser-2024

Your portal link is the most important part! This is where you will send your donors to purchase your fundraiser deal.

It is most important that you use your portal link in all of your posts and emails so that your donors will be directed to the purchase!

Email:

The easiest way to use your email graphics is to download each graphic and then go ahead and plug them into the schedule on your email distribution system, (Constant contact, mail chimp, etc. Gmail also has a scheduling feature)

When you design your email, MAKE SURE YOU LINK YOUR PORTAL TO THE GRAPHIC! If you don’t link your graphic to your portal, the buttons will not lead to your portal!

Highlight the graphic and then find the link icon and plug in your portal link. Be sure and send yourself a test version to ensure you have done it correctly.

This way, when your donors open the email and click anywhere on the image, it will direct to your portal!

We have labeled the emails with days in the campaign so that you do not have to decide when to schedule your distribution. We have labeled them with days but you are not stuck to this schedule. It is just a guideline.

Social Media Posts:

We have provided you with social media posts for the entirety of the campaign. There are graphics and a document with caption copy in your folder. Be sure to choose one of each and that your portal link is included in all posts! Any caption can be used with any graphic.

We have labeled them with days but you are not stuck to this schedule. It is just a guideline.

Please share these materials with your members to use as well.
