🎃🍬 A little creativity can go a long way in bringing neighbors together!
Wilder Neighborhood Association found a fun way to turn Halloween trick-or-treating into an opportunity to introduce families to their neighborhood association.
With families already going door to door, Wilder invited them to participate in a contest—and the response was exciting! They collected 30 entries with email addresses, including a dozen families who hadn't heard of the neighborhood association before. Many said they planned to follow Wilder on Facebook!
They're already planning for next year, with QR code flyers linking to their page and email address to share along with the candy. Now, the contest photos are posted for an online vote!
🍬 The lesson? Meet neighbors where they are! Look for everyday opportunities to get their attention, introduce your neighborhood association, and invite them to connect.
👏 Way to go, Wilder Neighborhood, for thinking outside the box and turning a Halloween tradition into a neighborhood-building opportunity!
