Make it a contest among your board and current members to
sign up one or more new members each meeting.
Offer incentives for this such as a gift card or free admission to
future events that would require payment.
Be sure to make personal attempts to reach past members that have not
joined yet for this year. A phone call
is always a good option or even a hand written letter. Recognizing these members on an individual
level goes a long way for retention.
Offer classroom incentives so the teacher can help you
recruit families, use business cards and have current members pass them out
with their info and the date of the next meeting to make it an invitation to
check out what your unit has to offer.
Keep using social media to promote the events your unit has hosted for
the students along with a Join Now link.
