As paul is so busy running the site on a shoestring, this might help get new members for little effort and outlay, We
appreciate paul cannot afford to advertise nationally in national media, as the cost is prohbitive, BUT, If we concentrate
on the cheaper end of the market such as trade (free ads ect) and hobby magazines,
Stop and think a momment before you dismiss This idea,
As there is about 2000 registered on safespeed, how many hobbies are there out there in our registered members? HOW MANY
BUY MAGAZINES OF THIER FAVOURITE HOBBY?
If everyone could put an advert in a magazine or paper and (ouch!!!) PAY (ouchhhh!!!) for it themselves.
It would cover nearly world wide! as a lot of magazines now multi lingual.
We would need paul to (sorry paul MORE WORK FOR YOU) post up adverts from two lines, for the poorer amongst us, to full
page, for the more affluent amongst us, and many in between for the making ends meet amongst us, ie 2 line, 4 line, 20
letters, 50 letters, 1/4 page, 1/2 page
coloumn inch,ect. so we get the same message across, over and over again,
We would need to target August 28th bank holiday, as that is when most non readers will sit and read, so we need to move
fast to get adverts in before august deadlines!
As for dailys and weeklys, the same applies, if you can afford to put in an advert in local newspapers all the better!
target the 28th August bank holiday weekend to maximise read rate, It will not matter if dozens all put adverts in the same
place as it will be unlikley the will follow each other .
I think IF a number of adverts appear in the same magazine, it would be fine, as some would be different , if the same
advert appears in a list, put in by diffent people, that would be OK as we would have a block advert, which would stand out
sending the message.
If you think it a good idea !?? RSPV[/b]
