Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: What is your Marketing Budget

(continued)

btw  - We have a marketing budget of $200 (which has been rolling over  

and there's more than that now) and we have $250 for Coho/US.  

(separate).

We have an ongoing budget of about $300 a year.  We spend $200 of  

that for our community fees to the National Cohousing Association.   

We believe that Coho/US is serving our community most by keeping  

cohousing in the public eye and maintaining a website and directory  

where people can learn about it and find our community if they are  

looking in our area.  Having a public presence also confers  

legitimacy with appraisers, another important resale issue right now.

We have also used money from our marketing line item for small legal  

items that have come up during resale.  We haven't needed money for  

"advertising" since our initial sales, but it's surprising what  

other items come up during the couple of resales we have had.

We would like to know what cohousing communities Marketing (aka

Outreach/Membership) Annual Budgets are.  This would include  

anything that

supports marketing and selling homes and/or attracting new  

members.   Is the

budget supplemented by individuals paying and if so how much?

I am happy to keep your responses anonymous and confidential and  

collate

them for others later.

Here at Nubanusit, marketing has been carried primarily by individual
owners.
