You Can Help Soaring Grow!
Try these three easy ways to turn people on to soaring:
Welcome Gliderport Visitors
- When visitors arrive, thank them for coming.
- Answer visitors' questions courteously.
- Give each visitor your soaring operation's Business Card.
- Invite visitors to sign their name and address in your Gliderport Guest Register book.
Invite Them To Join The SSA
- Tell each visitor about the SSA and SOARING magazine. (Nothing sells people on soaring like SOARING!)
- Give each visitor an SSA Membership Application mailer and invite them to join the SSA.
Invite Them Back
After the visit, use the Guest Register Book and mail each visitor a thank-you postcard ("Thanks for visiting - return soon!"). Then, follow up from time to time with postcard invitations to:
- Revisit the gliderport
- Attend local soaring banquets, picnics, and bargecues.
- Attend gliderport workday events.
- Attend crosscountry or racing events.
- Attend Club meetings.
These simple suggestions assure that each visitor will receive a Warm Welcome.
You can make the difference!
