Membership Drive

[Administrator]

Guys,

So far, the site has grown pretty well but I'd really like to hear your ideas on how we can bring in more members. I was thinking of doing a membership drive but I have to say, it's a lot more difficult than doing one on DTR. With a truck, you can leave a paper on a windshield. However, this is a LOT different.

Any ideas?

How about flyers we can post at the local gun shop or gun club?

That's a good idea if those clubs and shops would let us do it. I need a GRAPHIC and logo for the site but just haven't had time to mess with it. Once we get that done, I think it would be great.

Jack, I assume you're looking at a membership drive that's "right priced"?
I can think of several magazines that would be a good fit. However, ads such as these may not be "right priced".
Alternatively, there are several other options.
I can list a few off the top here:
1) A printable flier to be posted at local gun/ammo shops
2) Said flier posted at local ranges
3) Said flier posted at the counter of local stores (that will allow public postings) sporting good section.
4) fliers put up at the bulletin boards at our local Cabellas and Bass Pro stores.
5) fliers put up at local butchers shops (to catch the attention of local hunters).
6) fliers put up at local ATV and boating stores (Again, to attract hunters and sportsmen).
7) There's also a lot of free bulletin boards available on the web. One local to me belongs to radio station that allows anyone to post their events, activities, and/or announcements.
8) Local to me, is an inexpensive newspaper that really is nothing more than a local classified distribution. Ads in that are free if the ad is a certain size. (One or two lines).
9) Our local gun club also has "free nights" as well as "Social Nights". A lot of folks turn out for these events which usually end up being nothing more than folks sitting around talking shop.This would make a great time to hand out fliers and "talk it up"
10) Theres always word-of-mouth in various settings.
Just a few that came to mind.

I can only imagine what a group like this could do if you let them come up with a logo for you!
