Publicity materials

Raising your local group's profile


In order to make the best use of the materials, why not sit down as a group and go through the stages below to make sure you have everything covered.


Preparation
Think carefully about it beforehand – preparation is key.

  • What is it you’re trying to do?
  • Do you have the materials to do it?
  • Which materials are you going to use?
  • Once you’ve ordered them who will they be delivered to?


Plan your communications

  • Who are you trying to reach?
  • What is the one thing you want them to remember? How will you say this in a positive and engaging way?
  • If you want to inspire young mothers around a local solution, what’s the best way to reach them? Put yourself in their shoes.


Writing and production

  • Who in your group is best placed to write the materials? This may be one person or a small team.
  • Do they have access to the web to download any necessary templates?
  • Do they have access to a printer or photocopier?

Distribution tactics

  • How will you get the right message to the right people? Where are they?
  • Does someone in your group have better access to them?
  • Do you have people in the group who can get your materials out there? You may need a small team of people responsible for different tools.


Maintenance

  • How will you monitor when the materials are running low? Why not put a contact sticker on the back of the leafl et dispensers, so that the shop keeper or librarian can get in touch when they need more?
  • Do you need to update your communication? Maybe the campaign has moved on, or if no-one has shown interest, maybe you need to speak to your audience in a different way?
