PR Tips 2021 - Where Leaders Are Made

Public Relations Tips
	Tip of the Month: October 2021 Meetup Guide District 57 has joined forces with Meetup to make this process easy for everyone. Take advantage of Meetup to communicate with your club members, attract guests, and grow your membership. Sign up as a new user at meetup.com. This is your individual account that you customize with your name, picture, and interests. Ready to create events for your club? Nominate a primary and secondary representative from each club to take a leadership role with the official District 57 groups on meetup. Let the district know who these representatives are, and we will elevate their role to create events. Some tips to make your events successful. Your event title should include your club’s name and an introduction to your event topic. Include a photo on your event page to give members a better feel for your meetup. The description should have the location and a basic agenda of your event. Give your attendees an idea of what they can expect during the event and what they need to know before they arrive. Allow members to bring guests. Set an open and close date and time for members to RSVP. Publish your event so that it is visible to all members in your group. Share your events on social media and email your event to people that are not in the group so that they can join. Follow up with your guest after the meetup event. Have fun, build relationship, and watch your membership grow. Let us know at News@D57tm.org if this is helpful, and if you would like other tools to help you succeed in your Public Relations efforts.
