In this report, which covers the last six months or so, I’ve added a new feature at the very top — the numbers regarding our campaigns. These numbers, important though they are, do not reflect the success of those campaigns. Some of the smaller ones actually achieved good results, while larger ones had little impact in some cases. In any event, please note that we’ve not run a campaign for some time that got more than 10,000 supporters — and we should aim to achieve that again, and soon.<\/p>\n
Our mailing lists continue to shrink thanks to GDPR, and of the large lists, only the Turkish one has experienced any growth.<\/p>\n
On social media, we’ve seen very small growth in our presence on Facebook, but some very good growth in some of our Twitter feeds. This is particularly evident for our global Spanish and Portuguese feeds, and our Australia and Canada feeds.<\/p>\n
The first number below is today’s count, the second is from six months ago.<\/p>\n
