When you build an app with Guidebook, you can...

Elevate the homecoming experience for alumni and families

Help alumni and guests make the most of their visit. Your app allows them to create personalized schedules and manage all their event details from a single platform.

Keep everyone informed in real time and year-round

Keep alumni engaged and connected to campus. During events like homecoming, push notifications can instantly communicate changes or delays. Throughout the year, notifications can bring alum back to the app for donations, surveys, and more.

Cut costs and boost sustainability

Reduce your alumni event’s carbon footprint and contribute to your university’s sustainability goals like LEED certification.

No need to wait for IT or build from scratch

Build a website, registration, or an event app with an easy drag and drop platform with your chosen features.

Get higher attendance at alumni events

Whether you're celebrating 5, 10 or 30 years, reunions are a powerful time to reconnect alumni with their alma mater. Use the Guidebook platform to promote events, manage registration, and increase attendee engagement with an app - keeping all alum up-to-date on the latest information

Increase donations and raise funds

Connect to your existing fundraising platform and extend your reach via mobile apps. No special programming required.

All features included. No hidden fees.

Reconnect with fellow alumni

Create a space for alums to share content, comment, like, and build community again with the built-in social feed. And the app lets them connect 1:1 through direct messages.

Interactive maps & audio tours

Help everyone find the best parking and navigate campus changes with interactive floor plans and campus maps. Or build audio tours for a personal touch.

Free event management tools

How High Point University Connects Students Across Campus

The High Point University app hosts 5 different guides to bring the campus and community together. Each guide serves a specific event. For example, the Commencement guide shares information for graduates and their guests to ensure a smooth celebration. Following Commencement, recent graduates are encouraged to check out the HPU Alumni guide which connects them with the Office of Alumni Engagement and regional alumni communities so they can stay engaged.

FAQs

Can we really generate revenue by selling ad placements?
Many of our higher ed customers have highly engaged app audiences. This is great for local businesses, the campus bookstore, and other departments to get their message in front of more eyes. Sell options like banner ads, sponsored in-app social feed posts, push notifications, and more. Speak to us today to learn more about what you can sell and how.
What happens if alumni have trouble downloading the app?
Not everyone can download an app, we get it. Those individuals can access your app content through their phone’s browser or desktop computer on Guidebook Web, so everyone can feel connected to the experience.
Do you offer any integrations?
Yes! We know how hectic using multiple event planning tools can be, so we integrated our app Builder with the tools our customers use most. We connect with software like Eventbrite, Marketo, Cvent, and Splash. Plus, our Zapier integration allows connections to 10,000+ systems. Contact us to learn more about how our Open API works: integrations@guidebook.com.
How do alumni download the app for homecoming or year-round communication?
Upon publishing your app, you’ll have a custom landing page to share with your audience - as well as a unique QR code. Our app Builder also gives you tools like email promotion, posters, and social media templates (and more) to make promoting and downloading your event app super simple.
Can I make changes to the campus alumni app after I publish it?
Absolutely. If at any point you need to make a change, just jump right back into our system, make those edits, and hit Publish. Within seconds, your updates will be live. And, if you need to send any last-minute notifications to your users, you can do that straight from your phone or tablet with our Mobile Admin capabilities.
Can anyone share their event experience on social media through the app?
Yes! You can integrate your desired social media platforms right into your app interface. Find out more here.
Can alumni and guests access the app’s content before the event starts, and after it’s over?
Your app content is available as soon as you publish. So, if your app is ready months in advance, alumni and guests can download it as early as you want! You can build interest for your event and encourage app download with your event marketing website. After the event is over, your app content remains live as long as your audience needs.
