Blog, Post, Tweet
If you are on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, your own Blog or any other online message boards or social forums start posting and tweeting. Let your friends, relatives and online communities know what you are doing. And then give them updates! After your initial posts and tweets about your efforts, let them know how your progress is going. Share things like training schedules ("I ran 5 miles today!") or fundraisers you may be holding ("Stop by our garage sale this weekend-proceeds benefit TNT!") or your own personal inspiration moments during the season! -
Voicemail and Email Signature Lines
Leave a creative voicemail message on your phone or add a line in your business (if allowed) and personal email signatures about what you are doing - and be sure to include your fundraising link! "I'm not home because I'm out training for TNT!" or "I can't come to the phone right now. I'm training for the ______ marathon/century/mountain bike/triathlon event and raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. If you haven't made your contribution yet, it's not too late! Leave your name and phone number after the tone and I'll call you back!" or "300 miles of training, 17 gallons of Gatorade, 10 blisters, etc. For what? I'm training for the _______ marathon...etc. If you're interested in making a contribution, email me at..." You get the idea! -
Create An E-mail or Print NewsletterSome ideas to discuss in either newsletter version include: information about your honoree, coach profile, statistics about blood cancers, and information about The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's patient services.
It's never enough to simply send out a letter. Be more creative and provide a personal newsletter updating your friends and family on your training and fundraising progress. Many word processing programs have newsletters templates to get you started. Save money by creating e-mail newsletters. They are a quick and efficient way to communicate your TNT progress. Unlike a print newsletter, an email newsletter will most likely be passed on to others outside of your circle. Make sure to include a link to your personal fundraising page for donations. To avoid being labeled a spammer, avoid sending messages to those you don't know.
