These should be passed out during all events and retrieved... Golden ticket information should be placed on a spreadsheet to be downloaded to constant contact (EMAIL) or text messages on Eztext can be sent out...... We have a corporate constant contact account. When you are ready we will send it to you or you may use your own. 

SOCIAL MEDIA 

Social Media - Each state director needs to create a D1 Nation (State) page and invite members of your state to join the group. This is where you will communicate locally and nationally. We will all cross market each others events and participate with teams where feasible. Instagram and Twitter are great tools as well.
