COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
Over the last decade, significant changes have occurred
in the world of WATER. Groundwater conversion mandates, new
water conservation guidelines, and talk about potential
changes to basic water law in Texas, are making this topic a
hot button. Everyone from your neighbors out watering their
lawn to our most senior elected officials in Austin are
talking about it.
When an issue ranks this high on the food chain, there is
bound to be misinformation circulating about, and it is
extremely important to do everything we can to bring the
facts to the surface…providing the public and key
decision-makers access to the truth.
This is where we come in. When it comes to “packaging”
water information in an understandable and “user-friendly”
manner, Payne Communications
and The Texas Network are
unsurpassed. From customer surveys and the writing and
printing of regular newsletters for MUD customers, to
conducting town hall meetings, creating slick color
publications for residents within the Authorities and
developing entire programs (e.g., water conservation) for
specific targets, we do it all. Our history and experience
have allowed us to craft entire communications programs for
our new MUD clients, with great success – and we stand ready
to do the same for you.
Below is a basic list of services our communications
staff can provide. If you don’t see what you’re looking for,
give us a call:
- Write customized articles for MUD websites – from
research to draft for review to online layout.
- Specialized writing assignments, including
newsletters, brochures, customer satisfaction surveys,
billing inserts, community advertisements (e.g., swim team
programs, etc.) and fact sheets.
- Plan and schedule community events – water
conservation education days, town hall meetings, student
programs and subdivision events.
-
Help create strategic partnerships with other entities
interested in promoting water conservation (e.g., Lowe’s,
schools, other MUDs, governmental agencies, etc.)
- Provide media relations services – news releases,
media liaison and crisis communications. Also, plan and
execute media briefings on critical issues for the Board
and/or its expert consultants.
- Participate in problem-solving/emergency situations;
craft and provide specific communications components in a
timely manner.
- Complete additional related assignments upon request.
Communication services are billed at either a specific,
agreed-upon Turnkey rate, or on a negotiable hourly rate.
