Noted.
Their website is "under construction" and only has a phone number for contact. Does anyone have an email for them?

Ta.
That's the number they give on their "web-page".

Since the Ducati adverts expired this January on the forum, I've been working on getting some good diverse advertisers to place ads with us.
So far I've managed to get a grand total of two!

I have lost count of how many I have approached, some have shown great promise but then just not come good at the point of commitment.

To cut to the chase I need some help with this. We need to get another 3 adverts on the forum per year to cover the running costs of the forum and importantly keep the club free as it has always been.

Please don't suggest a long list of people I can ask. A) I don't like doing it. B) It's a good bet they will not reply, or explain why they won't advertise in great detail. C) I really don't seem to be very good at it and I like cold calling as much as I like being cold called!

The approach that's had success is to develop a rapport with an outfit I have dealt with, preferably with the boss, and then suggest that they would do well to advertise on our wonderful forum and also help sponsor it.

If you're having a service or talking with a supplier about some tricky part or whatever, then chat them up and pop the question in a nice way. I'm happy to take over once you've softened them up. An introduction is always so much better than a cold call.

I think I'm played out as far as this goes, so I hope you'll give this some thought and bear it in mind when you have a good deal with someone who would be good for the club membership.

Thanks in advance.

Gary
Chairman.

No I haven't Darren.
I believe he's just round the corner from you and you get on alright with him?

I'd be very grateful if you had a word with him to see if he's interested.
The ad rates are very competitive for a whole year of 24/7 advertising.
I'll pm you the rates and ad requirements so you can pass the info on.

Thanks.

Yes, saw your message Crawford and replied. (It wasn't a PM)
Already spoken to Hector and he's game.
Thanks for breaking the ice and making a good contact.

Thanks to Crawford I've made a good contact and we're in the process of getting their ad up on the board, so there's another good addition to club funds.

This seems to be the way forward and I'm really pleased.
So if anyone can approach potential advertisers I'd be very grateful as it seems to get results and keeps it all friendly.

Thanks again Crawford, well done.
