DESCRIPTION
Last month, Redbird Communication's president Carol Vincent gave a marketing workshop to community rec centre managers on Vancouver Island, at the 2012 Recreation Facility Forum in Duncan BC. This presentation covers ways to raise awareness -- e.g., promoting events or programs with print, broadcast, or outdoor media; and ways to change behavior -- e.g., using pledges, prompts, norms, competition, incentives, feedback, and fun to get couch potatoes off the sofa and into the gym. The workshop also provided tips on how to sell facility publications and spaces for third-party advertising, and how to market the facility itself, using owned media, earned media, bought media, and social media. Redbird Communications is a specialist marketing communications agency in Victoria BC that focuses on health and sustainability marketing.
