Recruiting new members is a difficult task on all levels - from an International down to the Local level.
The current and the next generation of union construction members that you need live on the internet. Your future members use the internet for pleasure and to search for new careers.
When the United Association Union of Plumbers, Fitters, Welders, and Service Techs decided to increase membership in two geographic areas within their HVAC program, they reached out to LaborTools powered by BMA Media Group to help them create, run and administer a digital recruitment campaign.
Once BMA sat down with UA officials to understand their needs and outcome, our team created the following components:
- Microwebsite, a smaller website that is primarily used as a hub to give information to potential members, while accumulating and storing their basic information for further use
- Styleguide and design for the recruitment campaign
- Website content
- Images/videos
- Online forms that will give potential members a way to be contacted
- Set up keywords that will correlate with what potential members are searching on the internet so the site shows up on Google and other search engines
- Ensure the microwebsite looks good and functions on a mobile device
BMA’s experienced website design team created the microwebsite to work hand-in-hand with a digital advertising campaign, used to drive interaction from a targeted audience to the website.
The digital advertising campaign used a variety of online tools to find applicable candidates when searching the internet or watching Youtube.
We know, this sounds like a lot, but BMA designs websites to take the first steps in this recruitment process by providing automated responses.
The HVAC website and digital advertising campaign were both launched in 2018 and the campaign ran for roughly four months, providing the UA with the names and contact information of individuals whom union organizers could contact and close the deal.
