So you have your playgroup set up. You've got a date, time, place. You've got moms and kids coming. You probably already have the mother's name, and phone number (If you don't; it might come in handy.....just FYI).
But do you need more information?
Perhaps. Your style of group, and what it does determines what information you need from your members. Sometimes if you don't have that information, you can mess up; big time. Here's some information you may want to consider collecting:
- Mother's Full Name
- Mother's Birthday
- Children's Names and birthdays
- Home/Cell Phone
- Address
- How they heard about the group (helps you find what to invest your promoting in)
- Husband's name and contact
- What they are most interested in (helps you determine what to put on your calendar)
- Children's allergies
Until recently, I have never considered need the address of our members, but I recently found myself wishing I had that information to mail out actual birthday cards. I thought it would have been an nice touch for our outreach program. It may seem a bit of stretch collecting husband's information, but I came very close to needing it once. (My member was in a car accident, her and the child was safe, but she was very dazed and confused when it happened. We called her husband to let him know).
Do you have any other infomation you collect from your members? What do you use it for?
