Strategy Meeting
Refresh Detroit had a planning meeting today. We discussed strategies for getting the word out about our organization, how to improve our website, and incentives/plans for members of the organization.
We discussed:
- Submitting the site to web developer directories
- Press Releases
- Promotion in Yahoo! Groups
- Discussion on the Web Axe (podcast and blog on web accessibility)
- Local Chambers of Commerce
The benefits of being with Refresh Detroit:
- Free meetings to discuss and learn about Web Standards, Accessibility, and Usability
- Referral and networking service (if a member gets a lead but is too busy to follow, he refers the lead to another member)
- Link on the web site, and a Badge (which will be created) to showcase your care and participation in Refresh Detroit.
Stay tuned for more information and meetings. If you would like to be a part of Refresh Detroit, please leave us a comment and we will contact you shortly. We soon will have a contact form for those wishing to join our organization.
