This page or section appears to be out of date or otherwise inaccurate.
Please edit as seems necessary, removing the {{cleanup}} tag when you are through.
This is a draft of a new or in-progress document, and is likely to have a few people specifically working on it. You may wish to check in on the discussion page to see what the purpose of the document is and who's working on it; then feel free to
give this article love and attention if have extra of those things.
How should Free Geek grow its PR efforts in the next 3 years?
Some goals:
- Do more outreach to corporations
- This includes acquiring a vehicle
- More outreach to media outlets and sources of volunteers
- We'd be using a spiffy printed and online media kit for this.
- The media kit would need to be maintained, too.
- Dedicate staff time to create regular press releases
- Create more regular email (and possibly printed!) newsletters
- Re-do brochure
- Bigger, groovier-looking, more eye-catching
- Possibly create 2 or 3 new brochures targeted at volunteers, donors, ewaste education, etc.
- Gather, take, work with a volunteer to take, and/or pay someone to take a nice set of file photos for outreach materials
- Create a website that's easier to maintain and contains more information
- Pursue info on ewaste legislation and how it would affect us from DEQ
- Integrate new procedures and stats caused by ewaste legislation into outreach materials
- Get better stats and testimonials from people we benefit for outreach/grantwriting/fundraising materials
- Work with the bookkeeping department to create a good system for acquiring annual report data
- Potentially, continue to work with state legislature to market our model to state government as a way to save money and deal with the problem of ewaste
- Along the way, involve volunteers as much as possible in every facet. They'll be usable in an ongoing way in maintaining the website and writing press releases.
While good outreach materials and a good plan to get the word out will help Free Geek saturate more of the public with our meme and help us get ahead after the ewaste legislation goes into effect, we still want to maintain our hip, laid-back, no-nonsense style. We don't want to media slickster yes men running any sort of show here, kids. Word.
