Come and learn how to get your rural home or a agribusiness connected.

Hosting ASK in your client association can be as simple as requesting Scout or ASK giveaway items for an upcoming event that the community has already planned, where children will be present. Below are also some additional ideas for community events that you can encourage your client board members to host throughout the year that will engage residents and generate interest in the ASK program. 🏡 National Night Out: National Night Out (NNO) is an annual community-building event that enhances the connection between neighborhoods, residents, and law enforcement. NNO is held on the first Tuesday in August and the first Tuesday in October in Texas. 📚 Read Across America event: Invite Scout to come to a storytelling hour and promote reading and youth literacy. ⛱️ Pool Party: Child safety in and around community pools is critically important. At your next community pool party, invite Scout to come share safety tips and giveaway items. 🏈 Superbowl, March Madness, or other sports watch party: At your community’s next sports watch party, hand out information about the ASK sponsorship program for local sports teams. 🍁 Fall and Spring festivals: Set up an ASK table and hand out giveaway items and ASK brochures. ☀️ Summertime BBQs, 4th of July parties, etc.: Summer is the perfect time to host community events geared toward children. 🎃 Trunk-or-Treat: Have the association create an ASK-themed trunk and request to have Scout hand out candy and other ASK giveaway items.

At U Fit Studio, we’ve experienced steady growth in our membership over the past few years, and I’d like to share some of our key figures and strategies in the hope of fostering a wider discussion on best practices in membership growth:   2021: We welcomed 62 new members in just three quarters. 2022: We saw an increase of 82 members. 2023: Our community grew by 72 members.   This growth stems not only from our efforts but significantly from member referrals, which highlights the importance of trust and satisfaction in our services. It underscores how focusing on quality service can directly impact membership numbers and retention rates.   We’ve learned that maintaining high standards and actively engaging with our community leads to a natural increase in referrals and long-term loyalty. These efforts have allowed us to not just grow but also to enhance the value we offer to each member – our challenge now is to continue to grow that value as memberships increase, a good challenge to have, for sure!   I’m eager to learn from others in this space as well.   What strategies have you found effective for increasing membership and enhancing community engagement?   Are there particular challenges you’ve faced in ensuring quality as your numbers grow?
