A unique membership offer from the RBL
The St. James’s Branch offering has evolved in recent years.
One of the most important evolutions has been driven by the foresight shown by previous members of the St James’s Branch Committee. They saw the need for developing our online offerings to our 12 thousand (approx) branch members across the globe. Currently, we offer information across four digital platforms, this website, and three “Our Man” social media platforms; the links to which you will find on the “Notes from the Editor” page. The success of these offerings can be measured by the following figures.
- Over 19 thousand hits per annum across our 4 platforms.
- Over 2 thousand words are published every week.
- The St James’s Branch website is updated 3/4 times every week.
- During peak interest, Festival of Remembrance, membership renewals. elections etc. We experience upward of 1 hundred hits per day,
- Across the 3 “Our Man” platforms there are updates 6/7 times every week.
- Any contact made via the Website has a response within 36 hours.
- All of the platforms are monitored 365 days a year.
A truly virtual offering in a digital age welcoming contact and opinion from all members, whatever the question.
