tips to launch and grow your pta community successfully

TIP: Launch PTAsocial enthusiastically

Even if you are trialing -

you’ll only get a genuine response

if you launch with oomph!

Wishy-washy launch =

wishy-washy response!

Launching & Growing PTAsocial

TIP: Explain why to join

Let parents know it’s how

they’ll hear from the PTA

from now on. Volunteering is

welcome but optional.


TIP: Use PTAsocial as your main PTA comms tool

People resist change, so if you

continue to offer other methods,

you’ll get a slower take-up.

Give headline news elsewhere but

have people come to PTAsocial

for the full details.


TIP: Get your core team on-side!

Explain to your committee

that PTAsocial is easier for the

majority of parents, so leads

to more volunteers, less

paperwork and a cohesive,

vibrant community.


TIP: Get your core team on board!

Make sure your committee

sign up and check out PTAsocial

for themselves. Remind any

stragglers to get with

the programme!


TIP: Put a PTAsocial button on your website

This will make sure PTAsocial

^hãZVhnãidãÁcYãWnãVaaãeVgZcih!ãto either register or log in.


TIP: Send out a school-wide

launch announcement

Include the registration link

and also tell people to invite

their school friends.


TIP: Share the register link on social media

Post the registration link

regularly on your social media

channels, especially when

announcing an event. Also include

it in the About / Bio information

for easy access.


TIP: Take the opportunity and time

to collect emails

If somebody volunteers in person,

make sure you get their details

and add them to PTAsocial.


TIP: Volunteer through PTAsocial exclusively

Don’t be tempted to have

people email you if they can help -

you’ll end up being a bottleneck!

Just ask them to “Click, pick & tick!”

It’s dead easy, so don’t give

them excuses not to.


TIP: Mention PTAsocial in every

volunteering communication

Always direct them back to

volunteer directly on PTAsocial

and give them the link - it grows

really fast that way.


TIP: Invite everyone

Invite all the PTA regulars

you have email addresses for,

and ask them to invite

others they know.


TIP: Got a big list of emails to add?

Email the PTAsocial support team,

and we can upload emails

in bulk in CSV format.


TIP: Sign people up with PTAsocial stalls

Having PTAsocial stalls at events

will help your volunteer list grow.

All you need is names and addresses

either on a paper sheet or invite

them there and then!
