29. © 2013 SMPTE Email DO share your list of non-members with the home office DO use your Section email alias with a clear indication of who the sender is and provide a way for recipients to unsubscribe to comply with CAN SPAM act (We can provide the language and links!) DON’T send from your E-mail client by cc’ing your list, for privacy sake

30. © 2013 SMPTE Email When it comes to copy, less is more We have found that (unfortunately) people skim, rather than read The more you include, the more likely the message will get lost Proofreading is a good practice Let your message sit for a day and then go back and read it aloud. Send it to someone else to review – Roberta and Aimée are happy to assist here

31. © 2013 SMPTE Website Most of the same holds true for your Section Website as with email copy Less is more Proofreading is a good practice Update with fresh content frequently Use standard fonts and keep it clean Drupal 7 Coming Soon!

32. © 2013 SMPTE Social Media Social media channels are great tools to connect. It is important to remember that we don’t own our social media. We do own our website and member list. The point is to engage with social media that inspires attendance and membership recruitment.
