Jumping into the world of "AI"
#MD27C2LionsServe
Visible Marketing refers to marketing strategies and activities that are designed to make an organization's work more observable, recognizable, and engaging to the public. For Lions Clubs, this means not only performing impactful service but ensuring that these actions are visible and communicated effectively.
Showcasing Impact Through Visual Storytelling
Photos and Videos: Capturing high-quality images and videos of Lions Club volunteers in action—whether it’s during a food drive, community clean-up, or vision screening event—adds a personal, relatable element. This content can be shared across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to illustrate the Lions’ values and impact directly.
Consistent Brand Presence with Visuals
Use the Lions International Logo in all visual materials to build brand identity. The logo can create instant recognition for viewers, especially when consistently presented across materials.
Incorporate Lions Clubs’ signature colors (blue and gold) and other brand elements in promotional materials to maintain a cohesive look, helping people instantly identify Lions projects even at a glance.
Strategic Use of Hashtags and Location Tags
Use hashtags like #LionsClub, #WeServe, #CommunityImpact, and local hashtags (#YourCityLionsClub) to increase visibility. For instance, for a Lions Club event in Chicago, a hashtag like #ChicagoLionsServe will make it easier for local audiences to discover and engage with the post.
Location Tags on Instagram and Facebook posts also help drive local awareness and reach

Lions Members Have A New Kind of Meeting Place
.jpg)
As the use of the Internet Web sites has become more and more prevalent among Lions, Lion Club International (LCI) is responding and has taken preliminary steps towards making online communication, business, and public relations easier for your Lions District & Club.
AND IT'S FREE.
It’s called the “e-District” & "e-Clubhouse"
It’s a place for members to meet and
access District & Club information.
It’s a place to plan service activities and
promote them to the community.
It’s a place for the average internet user to
communicate via many avenues.
It’s a place to chat, email and update
impending events.
It’s a place to post photos, access LCI tools
and information and so much more.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
