Why a club might use this

The public can verify Rotary's local relevance and act through a usable digital journey without manipulative targeting or unnecessary data collection.

Use it when

  • Local people whose discovery journey is primarily online, including mobile users and people not reached through existing member networks. Use when a priority online audience and its genuine information need are clearly defined.

Before the club starts

  • A channel and audience plan with budget limits, exclusions, frequency controls and accountable administrators.
  • Accessible landing pages, secure forms, privacy notice, consent choices and tested analytics configuration.
  • Approved content, rights, brand assets and an escalation plan for harmful comments or account compromise.

Controls and safeguards

  • Assess whether paid or organic content is electoral matter and apply platform, authorisation and disclosure requirements across every format and reuse.
  • Do not upload contact lists, create sensitive audience segments or enable unnecessary tracking without a documented lawful basis and approval.
  • HIGH - regulated content, targeting, analytics, account security and inaccessible journeys can expose both the public and the club.

What to measure

  • Qualified reach within the intended audience

Follow-up: Respond to qualified digital actions within two business days, suppress people who did not choose continuing contact and archive a final audience, spend, consent and security record.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
