The small group round tables decided MCRGO should engage in increased marketing
to build brand awareness, tell MCRGO's story, further increase membership, and promote
firearms education. The marketing should specifically target women, millennials,
racial minorities, Realtors, churches, youth shooting sports, and home school parents.
"Every Person" is suggested as the marketing message. Social media should be the
dominant form of marketing.
