6.2 Ignore promotion at your own peril!

The goal of promoting your reunion is to attract the maximum number of potential members to the event. To achieve success, you will want to start early and be consistently persistent at clever reminders to build excitement and anticipation!

Social media can make your promotion efforts easier and attract younger members who are the future of your reunion. Save the cost of postage: use email and Facebook for invitations and updates as well as reminders. Include images and videos of group history and past reunions, and, of course, add to them after the reunion as well. Save the Date cards, emails, invitations, newsletters,

website, Facebook posts and letters by snail mail … these are all ways to promote your reunion. There are also, of course, phone calls, which can be happily effective because these days they’re often a pleasant surprise. So if your reunion has members who love to talk on the phone, assigning them the personal contact responsibility is guaranteed to increase attendance.

You’ll find ideas for many ways to communicate with your reunion members on our website and Pinterest boards. Examples of invitations and newsletters on our website and a Save the Date board on Pinterest, are full of inspiration.
