  7. A Framework for Successful Advocacy Events & Promotion • Strategize – Do your research, define your audience, set objectives. • Localize – Demonstrate how the issue is connected to this community. • Personalize – Appeal to emotions, tell stories, show the faces. • Surprise – Reach people in unexpected ways. • Mobilize – Collaborate, partner, engage and spur action. • Publicize – Promote and document before and during, and reinforce/“sell back” AFTER. #NAEH13 @LisaGustaveson @chinrichsen_su FB: Community Shelter Board

  8. My event principle: I’d rather do a great event for 100 people than a terrible event for 500 people. Small and successful = greater impact Success is what people remember. #NAEH13 @LisaGustaveson @chinrichsen_su FB: Community Shelter Board

  9. Element 1. Strategize • Do Your Research • Define Your Audience • Set Your Objectives – behavioral, measurable • Cultivate Your Relationships Research + relationships = comp appearance by $50,000 speaker #NAEH13 @LisaGustaveson @chinrichsen_su FB: Community Shelter Board

  14. Element 6. Publicize • Promote and document before/during/AFTER. • Become your own news service, and be sure to take lots of photos. • Social media is great, and cheap, but remember your traditional media strategy. • Use publicity to reinforce/sell back later. • See previous five elements. #NAEH13 @LisaGustaveson @chinrichsen_su FB: Community Shelter Board

  15. Low-Cost Tips • Recognize anniversaries “backwards” • Do your documenting the day after the event • Collaborate and ask partners to help you promote • Visuals, visuals, visuals! Even from smartphone • Use social media, and learn from people who use it well, like @hardlynormal and @davidwseattle • Recruit volunteers who can create content (like videos) • Expand into your personal network, not just work • Find a way to involve kids in your event • Movies like “Motel Kids,” “The Line,” “Kicking It,, “American Winter” are great ways to stimulate discussion; most available on DVD #NAEH13 @LisaGustaveson @chinrichsen_su FB: Community Shelter Board
