Using brochures and flyers you can tell the story of CEF and foundations, or promote that your applications are open or your latest event.

National office have artwork on hand or we can work with you to create personalised artwork to be printed through your suppliers.

Advertising

Advertising can be in your local paper, community paper, school newsletters or local business newsletters. Typically mainstream advertising can be expensive and in the current landscape has diminishing returns.

If you choose to use this option be sure to have one clear message and call to action.

Direct Mail

Direct mail is using a a mass form of communication delivered, as the name suggests, direct to prospects home or business. This can be generic but is more effective if personalised.

Direct mail can be hardcopy in the way of a letter or brochure or electronically via an email, much like the Midweek Muster.

Merchandise

Using promotional products is an opportunity to extend the interaction with the brand when the item is retained and used. The selection criteria of the product should include how it reflects the brand and who is the target audience.

We have CEF tea towels currently available for you to sell to raise funds or to give as gifts for donors or at events.

Events

Events can be used to raise funds, celebrate students, thank donors or increase your local profile. You will find extensive tips for hosting a successful event for your foundation on the events page of this resource.

As with all of these options, keep in mind who your market is and what it is you want them to do or think about CEF.
