Vinod, working closely with Bharat Lukka (GHU Director/Governor for Marketing Digital Media & Events ), came up with a simple formula to enable this to happen. The 13 pages of the calendar would each be sponsored to cover the costs. It would contain pictures from our ornate building and temple, it would be impactful and beautiful, and issued free of charge to everyone. GHU worked on the project for three months. The result was amazing. We achieved all the original objectives and produced 2,000 copies of a calendar. It was distributed to the members last year at our Diwali function (October 2017). Members came in droves to collect their copies and complimented highly on the achievements. Some feedback we received is below : • • • • •
Spectacular quality and shows vibrancy of colour Information contained in the calendar is very helpful The calendar is beautiful, wonderful and so very creative - we loved it! It is not only beautiful but large high quality pictures means I am able to hang it proudly in my lounge Great product for 50th anniversary celebrations of GHU. Well thought through, high impact campaign, great personalisation with impressive pictures of deities and temple
Ashwin Soni
Former Technical Manager at Kimberly-Clark Corporation GHU - Governor and volunteer
Vinod has been instrumental in supporting with the delivery of the GHU magazine and calendar. With meticulous attention to detail and planning, he delivers content that meets the needs of the audience and also works hard to ensure strong positive feedback from the outset.
Vinod Nalawade has worked with me at the Gurjar Hindu Union from March, 2005.
People from the community have congratulated the organization for driving new content which looks great and is printed on high- end paper.
He also worked with social media, setting up and monitoring our accounts with Twitter, Facebook, and various other social media sites. In this capacity, Vinod is our social media presence online.
His efforts lead to strong requests for more content like the calendar in future years. Thank you, Vinod!
Bhavin Vaid
Head of Corporate Communications - Ferring Pharmaceuticals GHU - charity member and volunteer
After years of service with the organisation, Vinod came up with the idea of producing a calendar to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Gurjar Hindu Union. He also devised a plan where this calendar would be self-funded. The calendar is used as a tool to enhance the marketing efforts of the organisation and supports the promotion of education, culture and integration within the community. This is a fantastic, innovative idea and has been very well received by both the committee and the wider community.
Jagdish Shanker
Forex Consultant - moneycorp GHU - Ex President and volunteer
He is a marketing specialist who worked in most areas of Gurjar Hindu Union marketing’s department.
He responded to customer needs and built an ongoing conversation with members and potential customers. He coordinated with other GHU committee to meet customer needs. He is eager to learn new areas of marketing and did an excellent job expanding our marketing efforts to social media and published a brilliant calendar to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Our Facebook reach increased by thousands after he started our account. Vinod was also an excellent writer with a creative approach to developing our marketing materials. A team player, Vinod worked well with his colleagues in marketing. As a specialist with his time divided across many responsibilities, he balanced competing needs with humor and professionalism. I commend Vinod for all his help at GHU and hUS proven record of contribution to marketing. He is a remarkable colleague and contributor. Thank you Vinod
