Our Marketing Strategy:

• Use Social Media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Blogs, etc. as Free marketing avenues to get the word out through print and pictures.
• Create a YouTube Channel featuring videos of the Veteran Green Teams completing projects at local nonprofits and schools. Include interviews with the Veterans as well as the recipients of the new green projects.
• Invite Celebrities with large Social Media Followers to visit the Green Job project sites and ask celebrities to tweet to their followers or post Instagram pictures on their pages.
• Enlist the Help of local experts active on Twitter and other Social Media to assist us in crafting a social media strategy since helping Veterans is a worthy cause. Also ask their help to do push marketing to their followers about the various projects being done by Veteran Green Teams to help nonprofits and schools. Request donations to support the various Crowdfunding Campaigns.
• Utilize CommunityCause.org community volunteers who are helping in the Social Media Lovers for a Cause Helping Veterans project to help get the word out. For information on the project in general http://communitycause.org/help/social-media-lovers-for-a-cause/ or the Social Media Lovers Helping Veterans http://communitycause.org/new-project-pending-18/ Teens helping http://communitycause.org/ce-youth-helping-veterans-using-social-media-skills/
• Create Yard Signs for the project work sites that have our logo and a QRL Marketing code that links to website information, videos, and the Veteran Green Team E-Magazine
• Public Speaking Engagements both our own as nonprofits and business owners and as a partner with various nonprofits that serve Veterans and the Environment. They are already out in the community giving speeches on these topics and may be willing to offer the Veteran Green Team project as one possible solution that is worth promoting, especially since they get a referral bonus!
• Veteran Green Team E-Magazine focusing on the green jobs, especially the projects completed for schools and nonprofit organizations, and how the projects are helping the recipients. Another focus of this E-Magazine will be on the stories of the individual Veterans and their personal experiences while being part of the Veteran Green Teams.
• Promotional Cards with QRL code links to website & videos left around town to generate curiosity.
• Crowdfunding Campaigns on popular websites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, etc. bring new eyes and possibly new customers to a project or a cause. We plan to utilize them as a launch pad in addition to the Crowdfunding function on the CommunityCause.org website.
• Radio Programs—our mentor has a radio show for Veterans. The local NPR station will run stories.
• Traditional Print & Television Media local news and morning shows are always desperate for special interest stories to fill time and space. Press releases and interviews help spread the word.
• Website Links & Newsletters supportive Nonprofits & Companies connect us with new customers.
