| - | ===== Wireless Toronto 'Marketing' Revamp ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | At the April 2007 volunteer meeting a lot of 'marketing' related points came up, not least stickers. Patrick volunteered to take a look at how Wireless Toronto promotes itself and what we need to improve. Here are some thoughts: | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Goals of Wireless Toronto marketing ==== | ||
| - | There are a couple of likely goals for the promotion of Wireless Toronto: | ||
| - | 1) Get more venues | ||
| - | 2) Get more users | ||
| - | 3) Raise money, through donations of sponsorships | ||
| - | 4) Raise the profile/influence of the group, get known as an important stakeholder in things WiFi in Toronto | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Stickers ==== | ||
| - | We've been talking about stickers forever, as a way of letting people know a venue if a WT hotspot. Progress has been made, but we still don't have stickers for all our venues (or even close). We need them! | ||
| - | * Apr 10: I ordered adhesive vinyl, which I'll use to make stickers on my printer. Hopefully it'll be here by the 16th. [Gabe] | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Other print materials ==== | ||
| - | We have a [[http://wiki.wirelesstoronto.ca/pitch_kit]] in PDF form. A new brochure with map might be in order and/or postcards, to leave at venues and other relevant locations to spread the word. | ||
| - | * Apr 15: Dory just designed a new brochure: {{april07wtbrochure-1.pdf}} Note that it looks funny in Apple Preview; use Adobe Reader. | ||
| - | * Apr 16: Revised brochure: {{april07wtbrochure.pdf}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Website ==== | ||
| - | The site gets plenty of traffic, around 100 visitors per day. The information/design of the site has barely changed since launch in 2005, a revamp is overdue. The blog on the site attracts, but is only updated sporadically. It would be good if we could work out a way to keep the blog fresh, without too much work. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== User emails ==== | ||
| - | To date we've sent out 2 (?) emails to our entire subscriber list. There are plans to send another before the TTG party in May. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Portals ==== | ||
| - | The portal pages are a missed opportunity for a little, lightweight promotion. A bit of a blurb on the how/why of Wireless Toronto and a donation button seems like the way to go. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Donations ==== | ||
| - | We do have a Paypal account set up for donations, but the receipts to date have been pretty minimal. Making the donation option more visible (but not pushy) and telling a story about why people should donate might help. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== T-Shirts and Buttons ==== | ||
| - | We have (I think) a bunch of the [[http://wirelesstoronto.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/buttons_WT.jpg | WT buttons]] left. Plus a few [[http://flickr.com/photos/bamcat/153712463/ | T-shirts]] (6ish). Edward suggested that printing some extra t-shirts for the TTG party could be a good idea. Another thought is that we could use buttons/t-shirts as a fund-raising lever, either through online sale (assuming the profit was high enough to make it worth the hassle) or as an inducement to donate (donate $40 and get a t-shirt, $20 gets a set of buttons). | ||
