Marketing resources to promote your sessions

Check out the Marketing resources we have available to help you promote your Digital Sisters sessions. We have a guide with tips, texts and helpful information to promote your events. We also have downloadable resources, posters and social media images to use, and a participation certificate to print and give to your attendees.

    Check out the guide to promote your sessions and learn all the tips and tricks to let everyone know that you are participating in Digital Sisters and to invite women in your community to go to your events. We have wording available for you to use and tips to make the most of your social platforms.

    We have two posters for you to download and print. In one of them, you can add your organisation logo. These posters can be really helpful in getting the word out to your community, especially those that are not yet online or have limited digital skills. Make sure these materials include your organisation name, phone number and information about your digital skills sessions. Be strategic with where you distribute these materials. Displaying these in your centre is great, but you will reach more people if you display these across your entire community.

    Using social media to spread the word about your participation in Digital Sisters is effective and relatively easy. You have to use the platforms you have available, create attractive messages and use some of the images we have available for you. Let everyone know you have sessions and events available for women in your community, and invite them to participate. Add always your event information, date, address and what they can expect. Download the mockups we have for you, use them as they are or add your logo and more details.

    Download and print the participation certificate and give it to the attendees of your sessions, this is a great reward and motivation. Add their names and the signature of the digital mentor. You can do it manually after printing it or editing it on the computer and adding their details.
