The regional map is a great appeal for someone who stumbles upon MOArthritis.org. Theyâll be able to click on their region and get to the correct RAC page. That will give them the local contact information they need. If youâre not doing so already, I would encourage you to promote this map. The home page is also a good source of general information. There are lots of links to resources for individuals dealing with various health conditions. So promoting this main page in addition to your RAC page is a good idea as well.
Make sure your web page is on all print materials like newsletters, flyers, ads, and stationary. You might be surprised how often people look on these things to find contact information.Provide your link to other area agencies â just send an email or make a call to let them know it exists and that they can use it as a resource. Ask other agencies that youâve linked to if they would link to you. They may not even know youâve linked to them and will be happy to reciprocate. Email all of your contacts with a link to your page and suggest they bookmark it. Itâs really easy to assume people youâre in contact with on a regular basis know about the site, but that may not be the case. Install a signature in your emails that contains your web page URL after your name. Itâs an easy way to continuously get the information out there. You wonât have to keep typing it in.
Obviously the internet is a booming business. Just about everyone uses it to look up information they want to know. And that includes health information. 1 in 5 people use the web to make health decisions2 in 5 people use Facebook to find general health informationSo youâre going to have more people stumbling upon MO Arthritis . Org, why not go ahead and promote it as your primary tool for recruiting leaders and class participants?
