Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Need Marketing Ideas

[Cbwhy (Cbwhy]

Chris_Blaisdell asks about marketing idea  to get members faster. It sounds
like you are doing all of the steps which need to be done. For Synergy our
greatest marketing tools so far have been newspaper articles and follow up.
Often we have people interested but not this week. What we've done is retain
more hanger oners on our mail list because as they come to potluck after
potluck they begin to let their defenses down, enjoy our company, and
reconsider living in the community.
We also hold seminars (slide show, info, Q & A's) at a public library which
becomes a safe (pressure free ) environment for people to learn about it.
 Along with our seminar schedule we target special groups to introduce the
idea.
Good Luck
