Count me in!

The best way to get to the younger audience nowadays is to get someone with a ton of followers on twitter / instagram, that they all follow like sheep, to "advertise" the product via their channels. Being an older fart who doesn't bother with social media I believe they are called "influencers".

I don't believe older style advertising, as good as what has been shown on here is, would really hit home with the younger generation this day and age.

Frankly, I don't give a monkey about the eco lobby, sorry but I don't nor do I think there is anything wrong with leafleting when done correctly, sorry but I think you're being a bit super woke here. I also seriously doubt people with those levels of whatever they are, are ever likely to be RL fans. Paper is about as eco friendly as you can get.

Again it's not up to me but sometimes I think we forget that the old ways are some times the best, I'm pretty sure the club already has a handle on most forms of marketing considering the amount I receive.

Again again, if you don't like the idea take your name off the list, it's your choice, I won't hold it against you. However, for those who do like it then its an option and if the club like it, it's a goer.

As for other option then no because frankly, I don't think they are worth the effort or will have the impact. If you want to feel free, I'd suggest our budget will be around £950.

Also, feel free all the same to find other options and I'm not being catty but actual ideas with costs etc.

I'm more than happy to pass the baton on this one trust me but if you want me to sort it then that's my recommendation and I don't have the time or inclination to look any further. As I say I'm not being huffy but that's my offer, thanks.

Aye! who said we were after younger fans? I didn't. Fans are fans regardless of age and in my opinion, there is as much potential in families and older people as kids.

I'm 58 yet I'm the one pushing this! On a personal note, I'm getting a bit sick and tired of this young person first mentality.

I'm sure that's not how you meant it but it certainly sounds a bit blinkered. We have to target everyone and huge amounts of people can't abide social media.

As I say, that's the offer I'm making. Anybody who doesn't like it is totally entitled to remove their pledge, no complaints from me, I utterly respect that.

I accept the brief has changed from the first post so fair doo's, if someone can raise 4k they can have my £25 pounds but I'm not pursuing it as I think its a waste of time and money as are all the other alternatives on offer IMHO.

Just a thought, if we could raise 4k that would go a long way to another signing which in my opinion would be a far better way to use that sort of cash, just a thought.

I think just leave it for the club to work out how best to use the money imo. From past marketing they have done I'm sure they will have a better idea of what works and what doesn't.

Maybe they will do another free entry for NHS staff, that would be a nice gesture after everything that has gone on.

If that were true then we wouldn't be running this thread would we? The club get plenty of cash from me to do with as they please. This was a parallel idea I think?
I know Homme Vast has probably killed it off though so I guess we'll just go and buy another hoody or something.

Nah, I'm still up for it. Let's see how much we get and what they say next week.

I find your hoody fetish a bit disturbing

OK folks, whatever the club decide to do I think we need to be around about the £800 mark, if we can get to that I reckon they would make up any minor shortfall.

We are at £500 by my reckoning, which is absolutely brilliant but we need another 12 pledges to make that figure,

So this weekend can anyone who's not already done so can they put their names down if they wish to do so. Also if any of you can give a nudge to any forum members they know who don't visit often to please take a look.

Thanks

i'm in.Just let me know when & how.

I've another pal who is in.

Count me in. Cheers

A very noble idea Vasty, but it seems a very sad and sorry state of affairs, if the club are having to rely on fans, to provide the backing for marketing. Feels like my time as a treasurer at a local amateur sports club back in the day.

It all seems a bit amateur by the club, but not the poster's who are willing to take a chance and part with a bit of brass.

Good luck with it though.
