Recruit New Members with your Newsletter

The widest possible circulation you
can afford will give your club the most
publicity. Your club doesn’t need to
pay for distribution of your newsletter
into the community and around your
area. It never hurts to ask...persevere!
That “No” may be a “Yes!” Turn it
around, and create a positive impact!
1. Use your newsletter as a recruiting tool.
Have your members’ research who votes in the Republican Primary in their neighborhoods. Then put those
women voters on the mailing list for at least two issues. See if there is a neighbor that someone in your club
knows, then call them with a personal invitation. Use this list as an invitation list to a membership function.
Send at least two subsequent issues to guests who attend your meetings.

2. Send your newsletter to your elected officials and county party.
Don’t forget to include elected officials staff! They are the boots
on the ground. Your state representative, state senator, and Send Us Your Photos!

the President’s Newsletter.
3. Send your newsletter to the presidents of nearby TFRW clubs,
AND ask them to send you their newsletters.
Exchanging ideas is always good. They might be having a program

4. Place your newsletter in community places such as the public
library and Chamber of Commerce.
What about City Hall, your local Economic Development office? Visit
local coffee shops, bakeries, grocery stores, corner convenience stores,
and restaurants. Ask if they would mind if you left a few newsletters or
club brochures at their business.
5. Make sure you send copies of your newsletter to your Deputy
President and District Director as well as the TFRW President
([email protected]) and Public Relations Chairman ([email protected]).
