Cohousing-L Mailing List: Web Site for Marketing

[Mac Thomson (ganesh]

I completely agree with Liz Stevenson about the importance of a good web
site and email contact.  Along with a tenacious follow-up strategy, that
was probably our most important marketing tool.  That, of course,
assumes wonderful people and a wonderful site, which IMHO we had.  Oh,
and probably a dose of good luck.

Good luck with your recruitment efforts.

designed a home yet and where we had budgeted $65K for recruitment and
ended up spending $6K instead.
