2-STEP PRO MARKETING TIP: Nurturing Strategy vs. Join Now

Prospective families may not have any Scouting experience. So, instead of sending them directly to your “Be A Scout” link, use a “nurturing” strategy that will entice and excite families to join your Scout unit by directing them to your social media accounts or website. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Create a Link Tree: If you have a website or public Facebook or Instagram feed, create a FREE Link Tree page that gives folks a multitude of ways to see your scouts in action and connect. Here’s one example: https://linktr.ee/t107pdx Create your FREE Link Tree here.

Don’t have a public social media account?  Here are some tips from the “Simple Social Media” webinar.

Step 2: Use your Link Tree in a QR Code: Next, use this FREE QR code generator that also tracks the number of scans to create a code with your Link Tree.

New! Let the CPC Energize Your Social Media !

Together, we can spread the great word about your unit and Scouting in the CPC! How?  Connect your unit’s Facebook group/page or Instagram feed to us, and we’ll post weekly content your unit’s parents can simply share to their feeds.  (You can still update your feeds too, this will just help keep it fresh!)

How it works:

  1. Watch the video below.
  2. Give the CPC’s Sendible account (our social media management tool) access to the public pages/feeds of your choice via the tool below. (Your Facebook page MUST be “public” for this to work.)
  3. We’ll post fun content to your account weekly to provide increased awareness and activity.
  4. Your unit still posts unit stories, events and activities too!
  5. Your volunteers/parents share posts to their social media feeds.
  6. More people become aware of your Scout unit and how awesome Scouting is in the CPC!

What we’ll Post:

Posts will be about “adventure, grit and growth” but generic to Scouting. The post copy will drive viewers to connect with your unit. For example, we’d use this image with the following copy, driving viewers to connect with you via Direct Message: 

“If we want our children to move mountains, we first have to let them get out of their chairs.”  – Nicolette Sowder. 
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves! DM us if you want to hear more about how we get kids unplugged and outdoors!
