It's been a quiet month


Now that John is back from France, a number of renewals are being actioned.

6.2

Marketing

A discussion about trying to recruit through the Cadet organizations produced the revelation that their relative youth (13-18), with a likely lower disposable income would probably stop most of them from joining IPMS Canada.  We therefore decided to find a more productive use of our marketing budget, and maybe try reaching the Cadet organizations through less-expensive means.

Robin will be approaching hobby shops to see if we can do a quid quo pro deal where they carry our marketing material and we'll list them as IPMS Canada supporters on the website.
