So we try something once, it doesn't work at the first attempt, so rather than keep hammering away for a bit we just give up at the first hurdle? I wasn't aware that's how marketing of any kind works, but there you go, what do I know?

Yep. The entire tone of this thread is fully justified because one day, one of the X-thousand leaflets handed out may be put to good use.

Point being, the club DID act - not on the car boot, granted, but the football event they were lambasted for ignoring. And it achieved the sum total of f*ck all.
I've no idea if this will spur them on to try, try again or give it up as a naff use of resource but here's what I am sure of - this wont be the last thread to celebrate their failings.

Credit to the club for trying something. Pretty surprised none of em got used however coupled with the poor take up of the big MEN promotion for the Hull KR(?) game it seems Salford have a lot of work to do change the image of the club.

Which is half of my point. If the club just decide to give up on pushing anything then we've no chance of changing the club's image.

I know a lot of people would like to see the club plastering the city with flyers, but it apparently provides poor returns, and money could be spent more effectively elsewhere to promote the club.

The recent England football game seems to backs that up.
