Digital Marketing Plan - TORC
The Triangle
Off-Road Cyclists (TORC) is a volunteer organization dedicated to ensuring the
future of mountain biking in the Triangle area of North Carolina through the
promotion of responsible riding, establishment and maintenance of mountain
biking trails, and preservation of North Carolina's natural resources. The TORC does a very good job of prompting
mountain biking to triangle residents by sponsoring local rides and events
through its website. The principle
challenges for the organization are to build its membership base and ensure
continued funding. The primary focus to
fulfill this objective will be to build its membership via various online
social media outlets. Since many of
these sites are free, the limited budget will not have to be spent on
advertising resources. Since promotion
of the sport of mountain biking is paramount to the organization partnerships
will also be required in order to fulfill the missions. If the organization can continue to align
itself with other organizations that promote a healthy lifestyle and mountain
biking they can overcome these challenges.

Do they currently advertise in local bike shops or places like the YMCA where large groups of people are looking for healty and fun alternatives to tv and video games. I wonder if just advertising at places like that would at least bring more exposure and a possible increase in membership.
