Not being funny but I can understand why Waterfields wouldn't go for that one. Greenalgh's might though...

Good points in the original post though Mike - it's an age old debate that usually comes down to speculate to accumulate & brand-building vs lack of available finances for such things.

And Jonny I should have put a smiley on that - I'm not having a go, I think the idea's a good 'un.

I set up a meeting a few weeks ago with Trevor Barton and I raised the point of advertising in town and having posters in every shop window . I have another meeting next week. We will be discussing shops to target and what to put on the posters.
Are you in the town centre?

Good man Ste. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Whatever happened to that trailer we bought?

Starbug uses it as his weekend residence when Lynda kicks him out of the house.

Maybe that is part of our communications strategy,this coming season.

Goodo, its a great bit of kit. Would need to be fumigated if Starbug has been sleeping rough in it.

Trailer is here in the works yard unused, we couldnt get funds for it to be finished off, ie for it to be sign written etc and other issues on where it would be allowed.

Yes I am in the town centre.

well hopefully in the next few weeks we will be able to have a poster up in your window!

Yeh no probs,will display whatever you want.

Welcome to the board Mike and I'm not knocking your OP, it's something we all know we're poor at, but at work we’ve tried on many an occasion to communicate with the workforce by putting posters up with various info on. Unless you can take all other info down it can gets lost amongst everything else, or no one bothers to stop and read it.

We’ve now found that by putting ‘the message’ on the outside of their wage slips, we get more feed back, (not always a good thing! ) but as they take the message home at least we know they or perhaps their wife, sees it.

Would it be possible to try something like that? Perhaps ask shops to stick an advert on the box containing the goods their customers have purchased.

Something along the lines of printed self-adhesive address label, stuck to a Pizza box lid, lid of a meal box from local sandwich shop/Chinese, Toy’s from Argos, TV from Comet, etc? Would cost pennies to produce.

White address label Red writing perhaps saying….

Thank you for Shopping in Our Town.

Leigh Centurions V Someone
At LSV at such-a-time on such-a-day.

Maybe to much text but you get the idea, needs the shops to support it but aren’t certain shops like Munchies Sandwich Shop, Leigh DIY, etc already supportive, start with them and build on it from there.

Hi ste, I could design small laminated flyers advertising The Leigh Centurions and showing the website address. I will put them on my counter for anyone to take.If I am given permission I will do this right away.Oh and by the way ,I do have a website and i already advertise the Leigh Centurions on a drop down menu.
