How You Can Use The Blog to Promote WLCC


This blog is cutting edge. At present, there are less than 100 country clubs in the US that have one.

It is hosted for free, flexible and interactive in ways that can promote the community that have not been used at Wolf Laurel before.

I wrote generally back in May, 2008 about why we think think the bulletin board is a great new tool. Let's turn our attention now to specific and useful things where you, the equity members, can help us improve and grow.

Club Promotion: The Ultra Easy Email Function
Below every article you will see an icon, , yep, that's a small postal envelope. Members may click on that, to open up a page which looks like this.

From there, you can easily email that article to friends or prospective members without having to use an email program or log into your mail account. Just enter the information and click the blue "Send" button and a pretty html email is on its way.  Never been easier.

Widgets
A widget is any kind of device that can be "embedded" into a blog and provides a function, such as WLCC slide shows and Club video to make it come alive, no matter when or where you are.

A Blog when properly used can be a living, breathing "brochure" for prospective members in a way no website or printed material can hope to accomplish.

Calendars, Events, Articles
Calendars and such will appear here, before the US Mail arrives, with membership informed by any number of free subscription methods.

Leaving Comments: A New Voice For Members
Below every article, there is a hyperlink for "comments". Readers may click there and a new, smaller window will open. In that window you can leave suggestions or any other thoughts on club business. This capability is anonymous, and all we ask is that your comments conform to this simple, common sense policy.

In Closing
Hopefully you are as excited as our staff is about this board and its functionality. We have more tools than ever now to be engaged, connected to each other, and to help you, the members, promote the Club.

Thanks,
Blog Editor
