Personalizing Your Page

_

4 Easy Ways To Make Your Page Stand Out

  1. Add a picture (or multiple) of yourself or something interesting or inspiring. You want to capture everyone’s attention quickly.
  2. Add a personal message in the text area. Explain what Team MR8 is and why you are a part of it. Use fun fonts, bold lettering, emotion and even humor.
  3. Keep your personal message simple but meaningful.
  4. Update your page regularly to give people a reason to come back and to ensure that there is always new content for them to share. Think of this page as a blog you can use to keep your donor base engaged. Let them share in your Marathon adventure!
