  • Use the funds for marketing services that will result in reaching and training potential club members.
  • Be open to modern marketing methods, including, where appropriate, changing theme colors, logo, marketing strategy, participating in social media, or starting to use social media.
  • Appoint someone as your main contact who is easy to work with and responsive to our inquiries.

Rhythm & Roots also provides marketing and creative work billed at our direct costs (no overhead charges).
