Hi there
It can be very frustrating when affiliates completely ignore all your communication.First and foremost ask them to respond. They might think they don't have to. However to give yourself the best chance of making contact I have learned that you should not rely on just one avenue of communication.
1.When you receive a new PSA or CSA check their email address.Sometimes they have entered their email address incorrectly - like leaving off the .com or leaving out the @. If this is the case no E Cards or emails thru genealogy are going to get to them.You will then need to send them a direct email message using the correct email address. Don't forget to ask them to fix their email address on SFI.
2. Enter their email address in Facebook search. If they are on Facebook you can send them a chat message and invite them to be your friend. Facebook chat messaging is a great way to send and receive quick messages and it promotes a more friendly relationship.
3. If an incorrect email address is not fixed on the SFI profile, whenever you send a team newsletter, you will have to send it separately to this affilliate as a direct email.
4. Look for them on Twitter.
5. If they have given a phone number you can try getting them on Whats App or We Chat.
6.Whatever form of communication you are using, make it simple, short and friendly. Remember there may be language barriers so your communication needs to be easily translated thru google translate. You can also try translating your messages into their home language before sending. It might not be a perfect translation but they will appreciate the effort.
7.Don't give up. You will be surprised how some people just pop up out the blue when you think there is no hope of connecting.
Good luck!
