It has long been a fact that word of mouth advertising is the best kind of promotion a product or company can receive. People tend to take the word of a friend when it comes to recommending movies, food, restaurants, etc. Makes sense doesn’t it? Well, now with the new media and social networking on the internet it is easier than ever to connect our relationships with the great and powerful work we are doing to save lives. For this reason I’ve asked all the Dept. Directors at the Mission to begin to sign-up and play with FACEBOOK. While I know it’s scary and hard for some of us to try new technology, this will be easy and fun. It’s important for many reasons that we don’t stay complacent in how we communicate (This may be the only way to talk with your grandkids), but when you consider how many of your friends don’t know all the great stuff you’re doing at the Mission it becomes imperitive. So, here is what I’m asking: Step 1, sign up for Facebook. Step 2: play around a little bit with it at work. See if there are people from your church, high school, hometown, etc. on Facebook. Step 3, invite me to be your friend on Facebook. Step 4: Invite your friends to be my friend on Facebook. Step 5, Invite your friends to be adopt Tacoma Rescue Mission as a “Cause”. This just means they’re “with us”. Here is a page that has a How to Video regarding all kinds of Facebook stuff. You have to sign-in, it’s free, but if you need the videos to get started this is for you. DC
