Rebooting a Local Group
Case Study (on-going) on how to reboot a 'sleeping' group with an email list.
XR Rugby current situation
Contact email > Unresponsive.
Action Network > Email list of 83. Last email sent Dec 2020. No response yet from emailing the three admins - so reverted them to 'organisers'.
Plan so far
Create a form to advertise a 'reboot' meeting. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/xr-rugby-meeting-options Used a bright graphic, a page wrapper and a custom question. (Contact data team reception for help on this.
Created a ladder triggered by people subscribing to the list with two options
- For anyone subscribing to the email list via this form above (e.g. if the form advertised on social media) then nothing extra happens.
- If people join the list via the map they get an email which says welcome to XR Rugby and directs them to filling in the form.
Created an Email
Dear Rugby Rebels, Some new local rebels are keen to get XR Rugby up and running again and would love the support of all of you to get the ball rolling! If you're interested in joining us for a meeting, please respond to this one question poll...
We hope to relaunch very soon, so if you're an existing rebel and we haven't managed to locate you yet, please do reply to this email so we can get to know you.

Adding extra subscribers from UK list Anyone with access to the email list at UK level can do a search for any subscribers with postcodes close to Rugby - decided this would be...... and using regular expression to search for these.
Target a report using postcodes CV21,CV22
And Exclude any already subscribed to XR Rugby
Then also did
From this report result of 37 activists added a tag Sub_UKlist_to_Rugby and subscribed them to XR Rugby
Repeated with CV23 postcode and excluded any already joined to XR Rugby or XR Coventry. Ditto with tag and subscribe. Gained another 17.
