BeyondGraduation.com goal is to work with college alumni associations as part of their fundraising efforts.
Beyond Graduation will build a customized online store (eStore) for an alumni association that features affinity merchandise of interest to your alumni. The cost of inventory, logistics, product content, product management, and product development for any of the items we carry for the association is fully burdened by Beyond Graduation. Just as important, the costs associated with marketing efforts to let your alumni know about your customized store that we create for you are also fully burdened by Beyond Graduation.
