  2020 GIRL SCOUTS OF WESTERN OHIO
   FALL RECRUITMENT TOOLKIT
Toolkit Overview
Get everyone excited to discover Girl Scouts! Use one of the graphics below with a
general discover Girl Scouts message in the caption, or call out a specific session in the
description! Either link directly to the Robot Building Party or the Animal Dance Party. Be
sure to direct them to gswo.org to join or renew.

WHERE TO POST:
•   Social Groups: mom boards, school Facebook Groups, neighborhood Facebook groups)
•   Nextdoor.com
•   Libraries
•   Rec centers
•   Doctors’ offices (Pediatricians, Dentists, Counselors, Therapists)
•   Coffee Shops
•   Grocery stores (Kroger, Walmart, Target, Dollar Stores)
•   Faith-Based Organizations (Churches, Synagogues, Mosques)
•   Community bulletins (in-person and online) & event calendars
•   Rotary, Kiwanis and other civic organizations
•   Chambers of Commerce
•   Online school groups, including home school groups

TIPS FOR USING SOCIAL POSTS AND GRAPHICS:
Where should I post a link?
If you are posting on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, include the link at the end of each
caption. We don’t recommend posting about your recruitment events on Instagram, but if
you would like to, include the link in your bio and make sure each caption says “Register at
the link in my bio.” at the end.
What if I don’t know which caption to use?
Any of the captions are good to use, but if you are having a hard time picking one out or
if you’re in a hurry, we went ahead and highlighted a few posts in green so you can get
started! Also any information the CDM should include is highlighted in pink. (Don’t forget
to remove the brackets!)

Toolkit Overview (Continued)
How often should I post?
Post 2-3 times a week on your personal page and 2-3 times over the course of a 2-week
period in a single Facebook Group. We want to avoid spamming!
What time of the day should I post?
Since caregivers and parents are busy, posting first thing in the morning, lunch time, or
after dinner are typically the ideal times. (Also note the times you see your audience
posting the most.)
Where do I put my event information in the post?
You can either request the social media graphic from the Brand Center that allows you
to upload your date and time to the graphic, or you can include that information in the
caption. Do not upload an image of your flyer to social media, because the text will be too
small to read on mobile devices—touch on the main information in the caption, and the
rest they can find on Eventbrite!
