Buzz is the next best thing to being on campus: it’s a community-based platform that helps incoming students get excited about their new life by connecting with other offer-holders and current students during the application journey. This makes them more likely to pick your institution as their first choice.
With Buzz, you can create communities of handpicked future students (particularly offer holders) organised around interests, backgrounds and study subjects by inviting them to join via an email link. Once they accept the invite, these prospective students will be able to take part in conversations, connect with current students and each other one on one, and access media created by peers.
As an admin, you’ll be able to oversee all conversations while having the option to step in when needed. You can keep track of invite acceptance and engagement rates all from your admin dashboard.
How is Buzz different from the Group Chats feature?
Group Chats are a solution better positioned to support early stages conversions, particularly at application stage. While the ability to chat in groups is one feature of Buzz, it offers much more:
- Buzz is invite-only exclusively for whitelisted students
- Buzz lets prospective students connect with each other and then start 121 chats with fellow whitelisted applicants (not just with ambassadors)
- Buzz is much more than just chatting: it gives members access to tailored media and (if you're using our Streams feature) online events
Buzz sounds great! How do I get started?
If you don't currently have access to this feature and would like to learn more about it, please reach out to your Dedicated Customer Success Manager or email support@theambassadorplatform.com for more information.
We have also created a short guide on how to create and manage your Buzz space. We look forward to seeing your digital community come to life very soon!
