XrayGuy Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 So I was just thinking, if we want to reach out and grab some new members, could we get some flyers or something made that we can leave at all of the LFS's (at least the sponsored ones anyways) for customers to take home? I know that when I first started 6 months ago, I had no idea this site existed and the only sites the LFS(SWF) told me about were ReefCentral and Bluezooaquatics. I had to make a post on RC to see if there was a local forum and then I was told about this site. I think that especially for folks that are brand new to saltwater, this site is infinately valuable. Even for people that have been around a while, there is always something to learn about in this hobby. It is also pretty cool belonging to a "club". Has anyone here tried doing something like this before? Good idea? Bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We are in the process of getting flyers/bus. cards made to have at these LFS if they will take them. BOD is talking about it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Excellent idea. Michael, I also brought this up to Mr S, that if we could make flyers for the Tanks for Teacher program and have applications for the program at the local fish stores and schools we would have more involvement.

newfisher Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 If you can email a proof of the flyers you would like to print, I will donate the printing including TFT flyers. Let me know where you want the box of them shipped, and I will donate the shipping also. PM me for the email address. We also have a LOCAL buisness card supplier with top quality products at competitive internet prices. I can help with this too if the MOD's are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Every time I hear someone asking about saltwater fish at Petsmart I always tell them about PNWMAS, after the employees are done making a fool of themselves that is. I'm not sure if any of them have joined but I know people have a hard time getting the name right most of the time. Cards or fliers or something would definitely help people remember. *edit* Maybe design more varieties of bumper stickers too. I'd put one of each on my cello case!

mwheeler Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Or even have more of the business type cards that get sent out with are membership card. I have given all of those to people who are getting into the saltwater hobby that I have seen at the stores up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2odvl Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think it's a great idea to try and reach out to people and let them know we are here. Here is a poster for an event I sponsored on behalf of the club. On-line it looks small but on the poster you can read it. I think it would be cool to do a found raiser and get an ad it a coral/fish magazine. Anyone do graphic design/willing/know how to make a ad?

I like the idea of business cards as admittedly the name pnwmas is not easy to find sometimes. I think it's a great idea to try and reach out to people and let them know we are here.
