Carpe Diem: Creating Commencement Hype

It’s that time of year again; time to celebrate Graduation and recognize your students for everything they have achieved.

If you’re a readMedia client and you haven’t sent out your first badge, now it the time! All readMedia clients have the ability to publish and email a personalized achievement for every Graduation candidate. Each student’s tailored achievement comes with a super cool badge that they can easily share on Facebook, Twitter, or any social media network. These achievements and badges can be created, emailed, and posted online with very little effort.

Our Best Practices post gives you tips, benefits, and useful how-to guides for:

  • Adding distinctions or “Honors” to your Commencement template
  • Dressing up your Commencement story
  • Preparing back-to-back Achievements
  • Including Mom and Dad

Additionally, we encourage any client looking for a basic overview on how to send an Achievement to register for our 30 minute “readMedia Refresher.”  The webinar will cover:

  • importing a spreadsheet,
  • composing a template,
  • sending your Achievement (to every student, parent, and hometown newspaper), and
  • viewing your Report, Web Statistics, and tracking traffic and social media shares.
