Dear Councillor,

NEW SLIDE SETS TO DISPLAY AT YOUR MEETINGS

I am sending this email to all ATAA Chapter Councillors and board members, and I hope that you will find it useful in your own official role with the ATAA. (If you are no longer an ATAA Councillor, please send me an email to update my records - simply reply to this email.)
 
At the last board meeting I was nominated as the ATAA director responsible for Marketing and Member Services. You would have seen in our National President's email recently that our year-on-year membership numbers, and hence our financial situation, is in a "downtrend". And so we all need to pitch in and do what we can to rectify this.
 
We already have a wealth of skills and information amongst our members, so In my role I want to help you all to leverage off each other's ideas, tools and successes. So I will be keen to share information with you from time to time throughout the year - perhaps on a monthly basis.

In this email below is some information about the new slide sets that we have available for your chapter use.

If you have something to share, please feel free to write to me.

  

best regards

Marketing news - Now!

FIRSTLY, there are two sets of slides that members have prepared for use in their own chapter each month, and these are shared with you below - please see the details.

 

MORE IDEAS? - The National President's recent email regarding membership numbers and finances drew quite some feedback, and a number of suggestions and ideas. We are slowly working on these. As you could imagine, it can take a while for good ideas to be progressed by volunteers, before the members see the results. To help us move faster, we are always on the lookout for talented people to assist in key roles (eg. the recently new Chapter Marketing Coordinator role). We already have a short list of volunteer names, but feel free to write to me if you have something else you would like to offer.  

ATAA MARKETING materials - the Slides!
 
We have two sets of slides that you can show at your Chapter meetings, and at your local Trading and Investing Expo (Perth, Sydney, Melbourne). The purpose of these slides is to explain to people about the ATAA (and entice them to join), and about technical analysis.
 
You can downlod these slides, and show them using a laptop computer or a media player. You can project these slides using a large LCD computer monitor, or a TV screen, or a data projector.  The slides are set up to cycle in sequence, depending on the display method you choose.

The two slide sets are:
  • The ATAA and Technical Analysis - We can help you!
  • Technical Analysis - What is it?
These slides are available for you to download in three different formats - a set of jpeg files, a PDF file, and a PPS automatic viewing version.
 
It would be great if someone in your Chapter could take on the task of downloading the slides, and displaying them at your Chapter meetings for the benefit of visitors, new members, and of course all the members present. You can download these slides sets from this temporary web page. We have been using these slides at the Melbourne Chapter meetings for a couple of months now, with very positive feedback.
Newspaper articles

Many of our ATAA members will know that for a couple of years now, five of the Melbourne ATAA members have been contributing to articles in the Tuesday edition of The Age Melbourne newspaper. We prepare a price chart, make some notes, and send the material to a journalist who embellishes the material and submits for publication. In 2012, these articles are also published in the Sydney Morning Herald, and on various Fairfax web sites.
 
You can see a summary list of all these articles, details about them, where they are published, and view the articles from a link on this web page:
www.robertbrain.com/ataa/.
 
Feel free to encourage your members and others to watch The Age and SMH paper on a Tuesday, and to look for these articles on line. It will also be beneficial for the ATAA if you could click on the related "Like" and other buttons on the Fairfax web pages. This will help to promote the ATAA in the broader community.
We do hope you find this information and the materials useful.
Please feel free to send feedback and ideas.
More marketing and related information coming in a few weeks time.

Best Regards

Robert B. Brain
