Cohousing-L Mailing List: Need Marketing Ideas

[Chris Blaisdell (Chris_Blaisdell]

Hi folks,

We here at Two Echo CoHousing Community in Brunswick, ME are suppose to 
to start our infrastructure by Dec.1.  However we are not getting the members
as 
fast as we need them.  We are hoping for some ideas to help us market 
ourselves. 

We are in a rural area with extensive fields and woods on our land.
We're close to a college town and the interstate.  House prices are in the
middle to upper middle class range.  Also, Brunswick is an area that is
attracting
retired people.

 What we're doing so far is:

   distributing posters and brochures
   put community service announcements in newspapers
   hosted a web page
   getting a booth at a couple local fairs
   investigating realtors as a possibility
   letters to the editor
   attempting to get articles written in local papers
   run ads in the real estate section of newspapers
   holding regular info meetings and site walks

We're looking for further marketing ideas.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated! 

Thank you for your time.
