◆ Brick represents a lifelong commit

Target Market

SLU
● Who was your target market?
○ First time around we targeted all alumni, parents, and athletic donors
● How much did you price a brick?
○ Started $500 and went as high as $25,000. Recently lowered the cost
to $200
● When did you start the campaign?
○ 06 or 07’ - 2008, but recently revived the program in Feb 2015
● Is it more younger or older alumni?
○ First time around was a mix of people, but the cost of the brick drove
people away so then the majority went to season ticket holders,
parents, and staff.

● How do you ask for donations (social media, mail, web page, etc)?
○ Mail, email and student call center to market to parents
● How many bricks did you sell within the first year?
○ Couldn’t recall info, but haven’t sold more than 1,500 to date. Did not
market the program, but occasionally received requests
● Did you have any setbacks?
○ “The biggest difficulty the last time around was that a decent number
of the pledges were not fulfilled, but the bricks were order and placed
in the ground. There was also not a schedule for ordering bricks which
sounds like it may have caused some chaos.”

● How did you overcome the setbacks?
○ This time we will not order the bricks till the pledge is completely
fulfilled. We lowered the price point which will make it easier for the
donor to fill the pledge too. We also implemented order due dates, one
for the spring so bricks can be placed prior to commencement, and
one in the fall (due date to be determined, but installations in Sept. just
in time for Homecoming.”
● How many years do you typically place the brick in the ground?
○ We still receive orders every year since spots are still open to be filled.
In about a year we will stop the program since the plaza is almost all
filled up.
