  • Leverage and Showcase YOUR role as local/regional synagogue leader;
  • Increase awareness of YOUR brands, clergy and programs;
  • Capture greater “member share” with enhanced image, effective marketing/promotion;
  • Improve community engagement with improved visibility/brand recognition;
  • Further distinguish YOU from your “competitors”;
  • Garner greater membership retention and improve their engagement;
  • Enhance referral of YOU through social media networks and increase likelihood of engaging parent/lay-leader “ambassadors” in a more meaningful way; and,
  • Set the stage for YOUR’s 5774/5775 marketing plan and website Phase II with an improved brand.
