Week 18: Tip of the Week

# 18: Did you know that having a web presence increases your club’s public image?

Since we are in the Web 2.0 (highly interactive) technology era, when most people are conducting research and looking for information about a particular area the world wide web is the first place they go. With that in mind, it’s important that your club has a website that will have key information to engage a visitor and entice them to want to know more about your club and possibly want to get involved. It’s easy to have web presence with ClubRunner, as you don’t require any technical expertise to maintain and update the site quickly and easily. Tip: Get several members involved in updating your website to keep it fresh more frequently with less effort. Visit our official website for more information.
