2016-2017

Develop Program Area Marketing Plan

  • A meeting with the Marketing Graduate Assistant and Team Leader should be scheduled before each semester begins to discuss a Marketing Plan for each Program.

All Promotion Requests should be made through the Campus Recreation Website:

Specific requests for general promotions for each Program should typically be placed 4 weeks in advance. Please Keep in Mind:

  • ​Necessary Time Span for promoting events varies depending on Event Type.
  • We schedule our weekly tasks weeks in advance for completing those made priority through the Request Form.
  • While some requests may not take long to complete, it is difficult to set aside all other obligations to tend to urgent requests made last minute.
  • We will work with you to do what we can to fulfill these requests.
  • Delaying requests only eats away time that could be spent promoting the events.

We will schedule certain days out of the month for Tabling Promotions* on Main Campus and other areas. When Tabling:

  • Our team is promoting Campus Rec entirely, and all Program area events. 
  • To increase efforts by Tabling Promotions, we recommend that each Program Area designate its own staff to promote individual area events via Tabling or Street Teams. 
  • We will provide fliers and posters for these Promo Days in response to the Request Form.
  • For the most efficient communication, please email us a list of scheduled Promo Days in advance.

All emails sent to Marketing should be sent to Paige & Zach, otherwise cc Paige & Zach.

Our Marketing Outlets consist of the following:

  • Fliers for handouts, sent to housing, held at front desk, & upon request
  • Bi-weekly “Toilet Paper” updates
  • Posters for Designated areas and for Promo Days
  • REACHboard (TVs) at Campus Recreation & Student Union
  • Bulletin Boards at Campus Recreation  & Main Campus
  • Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter)*
  • Campus Activities email
