I see that there are still no registrations for the presentation on 16 April, so I wanted to check in to ask for some reassurance that you are using all possible options to create some vibe wherever possible.
I’m also taking the liberty to offer some suggestions based on past experiences:
The newsletter usually brings in up to 5 registrations every time we send one out. As I was in a productive mood, I have also created a draft that is ready to go out. It is saved in the newsletters folder and you are free to do with as you see fit.
Email campaign: once the newsletter is out, you could ask all Reeflings to forward it to three friends with a request to forward it. Main message: there are now smaller and cheaper units available, so if you know of people who used to be interested, this may be their chance.
Social media: when I was still on Facebook, I used to receive requests (here on ER) to put something on my timeline. Are we still doing this?
Samenhuizen & H&P: given that this is our main source of registrations, and given that these website have regular visitors who have seen our ads in the past, I worry that we are missing out on those people if we don’t make use of the title of the ad to say something like “Redesign of the plans: new and smaller units are available!”.
Filling up the room in Miro matters, because we also know that people find us through word-of-mouth: even if eventually the people in the room turn out to be not interested, they tend to walk out with a sort of “honeymoon” feeling, which makes them talk about our project at work and to their friends. This is what we are after!
Filling up that room is a lot of work though, and it works best when the entire group is mobilised. The window to complete the group before we get the permit is getting smaller and smaller, so I think it would help if you could convey the importance of this campaign to the entire group. Just my two cents though, doer decides of course.
As you might have read somewhere else on ER, R&O has cancelled the presentations of coming Sunday as it were mainly subscriptions for a 1 bedroom and we prefer them to come to one of the presentations in Miro (Brutopia).
And what would be great is if we could be as many reeflings as possible at these presentations in Miro.
Offering the possible new members the opportunity to have a chat with some of the current members, or exchange with some of the exploring or associate members, is always a big plus.
As we probably won’t have too many subscriptions, it would be nice to show up in large numbers in order to fill up the room and create a nice atmosphere
It’s in fact a nice social event in itself.
It’s also an opportunity to see Brutopia from the outside (the cohousing where our architects live)
And… these might be the last presentations ever at Brutopia, so you don’t want to miss them !
Could you indicate via this poll whether you could make it?
I can make it for the presenatation of the 12th of May
I can make it for the presenation of the 9th of June
