Project Stories

Marketing, University of Dayton

For the spring 2019 edition of its magazine, the University Advancement team at the University of Dayton wanted to do something extra with its publication that goes to 74,000 alumni and donors. Looking for a memorable, long-lasting keepsake that would excite its wide-ranging audience without adding much cost to the already-planned mailing, the team turned to Magellan Promotions.

The Magellan team partnered with the University Dayton to deliver the perfect solution—a full page sticker sheet bound directly into the university’s alumni magazine. The solution had all the right elements. It was low cost, did not add significant weight, and proved extremely popular with a broad range of audiences. The fully-branded piece combined messaging with UD logos, iconic places, phrases, and fun stickers on a single sheet, giving alumni and donors plenty of ways to stick and share the Dayton brand just about anywhere.

The advancement team was pleased at how we were able to enhance the magazine in a way that met their goal of providing a tangible product for alumni to show off their Flyer pride!

Nonprofit Marketing With Stickers

Do stickers work for non-profit? You bet they do. I kept seeing it everywhere. It seemed like every other car proudly displayed this blue square sticker with a thick yellow equal sign on it. My interest piqued, I searched the web to find what this ubiquitous window sticker was, quickly discovering the Equality sticker from the Human Rights Campaign. Immediately, the cause resonated, so I became an official supporter, just like that. All from a sticker on a stranger’s car window.  That’s the kind of impact stickers can have. A simple sticker on a car window, laptop, water bottle, guitar

Keep getting Captcha failing? These are reasons why...

We know it’s very annoying when you can’t place your order because the Captcha verification keeps failing. Unfortunately we must use it to stop fake orders and spam bots from ruining the site. However, some innocent people get caught in the crosshairs, and it sounds like that may have happened to you.

The most common reason reCAPTCHA doesn’t work is that Google finds your IP address suspicious. Why? We don’t know, but Google does. However, there are other causes that you can control, including outdated web browsers, faulty browser extensions, banned VPN servers, and more. Check out the list:

  • Your browser version is outdated.
  • Your computer is infected with malware.
  • The browser profile is corrupted.
  • Your IP address was banned because of detected suspicious activity.
  • Your VPN or proxy service is interrupting the reCAPTCHA process.

And these are just to name a few. And while we would like to be able to fix this problem from our end, we can’t… these are related to your computer and your IP address.

The best way to start is to update your browser, and disable any extensions you may have installed. Or, try a different browser.

If you are working from a corporate network, chances are you are behind a VPN or proxy server, and Google will deem this suspicious, because spammers work behind VPNs and proxy servers. The best thing in this case that you can try is to connect to a network outside your workplace and place your order then. 

If all else fails, please feel free to call in your order at 414-831-0184. Our hours for taking orders are 8AM-4:30PM CST. We are here to help!
