Community Engagement
Weekly Volunteer Engagement Email
Proposal: Bike Saviours will grant Bob Bushman access to the volunteers email list, which he will use for a once-weekly email on volunteer engagement.
This email will include topics like:
- Recognition of the positive work our volunteers do for the cycling community.
- Upcoming projects or events we would like help with.
- Upcoming shop schedule time that is understaffed.
- Call to action for volunteer engagement outside the shop (social media, group rides, community outreach, etc).
Bob B will develop a template and provide a preview email to Bike Saviours leadership two days before each send.
Bike Saviours Subreddit
Proposal: Bike Saviours will recognize https://old.reddit.com/r/BikeSaviours as an official social media outlet for Bike Saviours.
Bob Bushman is the current administrator and moderator, and will pass the baton or add others according Bike Saviours leadership's requests.
Administrator and moderator rules and practices are and will be at the discretion of Bike Saviours leadership.
Monthly Bike Fair
Proposal: Bike Saviours will put on a monthly bike fair, on a Sunday, starting in early to mid October.
Bob Bushman will spearhead the effort, as outlined here: Bike_Fair
The approach will be iterative, with the first version in October being a [Minimum Viable Product].
Bob B will coordinate the development of the event scope in tandem with the development of volunteer commitment, to keep the scale of the event aligned with the number of on-site personnel.
Advanced Volunteers
Proposal: Bike Saviours will develop the notion of "Advanced Volunteers": Volunteers who are sufficiently committed and reliable that they can provide the necessary support for Shamus or Nicole that they don't both have to be there during every open hour.
Saturday Sales Day
Proposal: Contingent on the success of the Advanced Volunteers proposal, Bike Saviours will explore the possibility of having a Saturday sales day.
This depends heavily on whether either Nicole or Shamus are available on Saturday and whether the Advanced Volunteers proposal develops sufficient volunteer support to ensure Bike Saviours can consistently be open on Saturday.
Developing customer trust strongly suggests having a fairly regular schedule of hours, even while Bike Saviours is by-appointment. As such, we should make sure that we have a solid slate of Advanced Volunteers and enthusiastic buy-in from Nicole or Shamus before attempting Saturday Sales Day.
