SDS Mercury
The past is the key to effective and sustained fundraising. SDS Mercury is a new approach to alumni engagement that really works!
Interact with Archives from Your School’s History
SDS Mercury is an online resource to capture and provide a unique digital heritage experience from the alumni time at school. Record posts, blogs, video, audio, social media feeds, historic archives etc – a live system which evolves with each and every post or upload...
SDS Mercury is used by School Development and Marketing Departments in schools in a variety of ways:
- Fundraising and Bursaries
- Celebration of the Archive and school heritage
- Alumni relations – including the opportunities for targeted appeals
- The School History
- Teaching Resources
- Student participation such as the DofE
- Activities, arts, drama, performances etc – positive messages for current and future parents
- School Marketing (obtaining new sources of finance as well as new Students)
- Research and inclusion for the local community, social history and ancestry purposes
