Suggestions for gathering more members
« on: August 27, 2009 »
We're passed the 100 member mark with over 2500 posts which is brilliant - now we need more!

Please post any ideas you have on how to get the word out to new people.

I should have mentioned that free or very low cost is quite important...

Yeehaaaaw!

Trouble is the drive would probably cost more that the 10% discount.

If its free your after then all you have to to is join there forums and post a link.

Also It might be worth while to have a link to a downloadable forum logo that people involved in avents (The MMM for example) could print of and attach to themselves will competing.

I start back at UUC in two weeks, they have a great sports club, with surfers, sailing, kayak/canoe etc.  Jordanstown has aload too including climbers as far as i remember.  Does anyone know what Queens does??

Why not get a few fliers drawn up and i will bung a few around uni - just a handful, see how that goes??

i found the site by following a link at the bottom of a post on another forum.

car stickers are an idea as well as theyre cheap and people notice them.

also the fact thats its an n.i site made it more real to me ,meaning i could go to the places mentioned on the forum and also take part in activities which didnt involve a flight or boat journey to the mainland.

also,if your out and about walking of whatever , mention the site to people too.any time i see someone out on a sit on top kayak i tell em about kayakanglingireland.com lol , even got a wee plug in there myself  :D

You need to get some flyers or cards sorted out mate. You missed a very good oportunity when we did the event at the autumfest in Carnfunnock. We had an audience of 100 plus if we had given out flyers or cards you could have had at least another 50 members. I have a link on our website to ni wild and when we are running other events we will plug this site but it would be good to have some cards or at least a poster to advertise.

So whats the latest on Flyers or posters?

What about Radio Ulster... Your place and Mine. They are often looking interesting local events activities etc. Maybe worth giving them a ring to chat about forum and events that have taken place.

We did a piece on Geocaching last year, got people interested.
