Marketing

Some advertising ideas:

• Postings through the local community center

• Church bulletin boards

• Pay kids to spread flyers across the land

• Get stickers and hand them out like candy (needs new logo)

• Go to hackery-events, pass around brochures. (brochure in member files)

• The Hippo and Broadcaster would probably be glad to do a story on us. Telegraph was huge success.

Things to do right away:

• • Create a one page 8x11 that can be posted anywhere members see fit.

  • Contact public access and ask about advertising time.

Ideas about relationships to start forming with local community organizations and local outlets:

• • Technical High Schools

  • Homeschooling

    • Merrimack Valley Homeschooling Association

  • http://www.mhla.org/support/masupportgroups.htm

  • http://www.nhhomeschooling.org/

  • Councils

  • Mass Technology Leadership Council

  • New Hampshire High Technology Council

  • Local post-seconday

  • Rivier College

  • Daniel Webster College

    • Nashua Community College

  • Incubators:

  • http://www.abihub.org/contact/

  • Look for members in meetup.com groups + create meetup.com group

  • Robotech

  • 2600 group meetups

We need to discuss how we can involve children and students in activities at MakeIt. My first instinct is through classes but maybe a child/supervisor membership level or events just for families.

Todo note: Need to make accounts on vimeo and eventbrite. Board needs access to twitter and youtube accounts.
