Meetup Messenger: January is the time to grow your Meetup!

January is the time to grow your Meetup!
The Meetup Messenger

Hectic holiday schedules are getting back to normal, so people have more time to do new things. People are making New Year's resolutions and are looking for opportunities to connect with others and improve their lives.

It's a great time of year to ramp up the promotion of your Meetup and find new members. Why not: - Print t-shirts or table tents so that your Meetup is more visible to potential members at your next meeting. - Or, print business cards so that you always have something to give to potential new members.

Our favorite story of Meetup self-promotion is about the Dog Meetup Organizer who handed out Meetup business cards in the dog food aisle at her local grocery store. Brilliant!

Check out your Meetup Shop in the Promote! section for more ideas. For the month of January, get free shipping on all apparel purchased through Zazzle (use coupon code meetupin2008). Also, get 50% off of premium business cards and 20% off of table tents and invitations purchased through VistaPrint. Access these items through your Meetup shop. Tell your members, too!
