Promoting the website

A website is only useful if it is used. Here is a flyer which can be used to draw attention to the resources of the website. For example, it can be given to

• parents at a session about multiples in school
  
  
• teachers before the multiple children join their class
  
  
• families interested in joining your research project on school-age multiples

Double sided website flyer (62k PDF) - easier if you want to make many copies.

Three-fold format website flyer (62k PDF) - easier for people to carry around or to distribute.

In both cases, the idea is to use these single-sided originals to make double-sided copies.

A space is deliberately left blank on the last section of the flyer to insert information about your local resources, research organisation etc.

We also have a flyer to invite people to join the Australian Twin Registry which also contains an explanation of what it is and how useful it is.
