Promotion

Here we have a whole bunch of pages that might help you with promoting your group. Good luck! And remember, we would love to hear about what you have got up to, so please share. Other groups would love to hear about your stories and successes, so please post messages yourself on the Central Groups to spread the news.

OED definition: 'Promotion - Activity that supports or encourages a cause, venture, or aim'

Local Promotion Volunteers

Having a member of your group volunteer team 'doing' promotional stuff - online, contacting people, events - is a good idea. Have a look at Group Promotion Volunteers for an outline of the type of work that can be done, and Recruiting, Training and Retaining for ideas of how to find someone to do it!
