A Rotary club should occasionally revisit the 4 Ps of marketing -- Product, Price, Place and Promotion -- to keep on track. What is the Rotary club's experience of achieving service above self in fellowship and friendship offered? | What is the objective price of running the club, but, for a prospective member, what is the perceived price? What is the quality of meeting Place and is Rotary seen wherever it operates in service to the community? |

Marketing is not promotion. Promotion is one part of marketing. Please don't use the old Rotary wherever the new one can be used. Consistent, accurate use of the Rotary brand is important to build an attractive, professional appearance. | Member communications monthly through e-news, and monthly Bulletin which can be shared with "friends" of the club, prospective members, and others outside the club. Website, Facebook and Twitter, plus media relations and advertising are various ways |

Storytelling gets the Rotary message out by focusing on the benefit or outcome of our service above self then Rotary's role in that outcome with many images to describe what is achieved and how through Rotary. The Rotary District 5040 website is a valuable resource in Rotary.
