3 Reasons Your Region Should Have a Newsletter!

How many times in a season do you get the same question from dozens of parents? How about the early-morning phone calls about whether the game is still on? Here are three big reasons why your Region should have a newsletter. 

1. Communication: Having a newsletter allows you to keep communication open with parents and volunteers. It helps you answer questions before they are even asked! Whether your Region is big or small, having a newsletter will help you stay connected and keep everyone in-the-know. 
2. Sell Ad Space: When you have a strong newsletter going out consistently to an engaged audience, you can sell ad space to local businesses or show love to your current sponsors. 
3. A Place for Content: Your newsletter is a place to publicize early-bird pricing, registration dates, meeting info, volunteer openings, upcoming tournaments, the list goes on! Have a good time using your creative juices, but remember that the most successful newsletters are the clean and consistent ones.

3 Must-Haves for Every Region Website

Region websites are an invaluable tool for communicating with your community, parents and volunteers. It's likely the information hub for your Region - so it's important to include all the important information you want your members and families to know.

Here are three things that should be on every Region website:

1. Contact Information
This information should be included prominently on your Region's homepage. Whether it's a contact form,  email address or a phone number, make sure it's posted somewhere that visitors can easily spot. Questions arise regularly, and if they are not answered on the website, the parents will want someone to contact. Parents can get frustrated if this information is not readily available on the website.
