No reason this can’t be fun you know… 

Since late July, ARSA’s team has been setting up jokes in its periodical advertisements. Curious readers – more than 100 in each edition of the Dispatch since the practice started – click for the punchline, which is provided on top of ARSA’s advertising page. 

If you’ve fallen behind on this important reading, you can see the five published so far at arsa.org/news-media/advertising-jokes. Which do you think has been most popular with readers, as measured by click through rate? 

This exercise is more than a little fun, though it has been for the team. It demonstrates the visibility produced by an ARSA advertisement, the willingness of the association’s contacts to click on an interesting item, and the spirit of the organization to which any advertiser is tying their company name. With considerable good humor but even more tenacity in its commitment to quality, ARSA provides a unique venue for those serving the aviation community. 

In the spirit of community, ARSA invites its members to participate in expanding our jokebook. Share your favorite joke or wisecrack via the Ask ARSA portal. The team’s favorites will be featured in association communications and the jokesters supplying them will be celebrated in a manner befitting their contribution (perhaps more periodical content, access to training sessions, or acknowledgement during the Annual Conference). 

While you’re at it, spare a moment to learn about how ARSA association engages the maintenance community through advertising and sponsorship opportunities for its members and industry partners.
