SUCCESS REQUIRES AN INFORMED AND ENGAGED COMMUNITY

Community marketing is present in all stages of a well planned PulsePoint deployment. Effective outreach starts at launch – but sustained marketing is essential for community adoption. Getting people in your community interested in CPR training, AEDs and PulsePoint takes a concerted effort across multiple platforms.

The focus of your marketing campaign will depend on where you can most efficiently reach your residents and visitors. Below you will find a variety of approaches used by other PulsePoint agencies that will hopefully inspire you to find the right approach for your community.

Our marketing team is always available to brainstorm ideas and assist your staff with execution. We also offer marketing grants for unique ideas that can lay the groundwork for other agencies.
