Hi All,
The decline in MoPo membership is troubling and I recently talked to Scott
about this less than a month ago.
Anyone care to guess the number of "For Sale/Auction" ads on MoPo vs.
"Wanted" ads? I do not have hard statistics but my guess is they number
close to 9 or 10 "for sale" ads vs. 1 "wanted" ad. I am guilty as well. Are
we all just listing "For Sale" ads to each other?
HERE IS THE IDEA TO INCREASE MEMBERSHIP:
There is a flyer that Scott created a while ago inviting people to join
MoPo. If every seller rolled up one of these flyers and enclosed it with
every poster they sold, think of how many new people would join MoPo. If the
numbers did increase dramatically, think of how many new possible buyers
would now be looking at your "For Sale/For Auction" ads.
This is such a simple concept and at the same time, it is cost efficient and
would easily be trackable to see if it yields any results. But for it to
work, we would need participation from as many sellers as possible and
continue to do it on a consistent basis.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE:
Scott needs to make the flyer downloadable to everyone. It would then be our
responsibility - and yes - our cost to make copies of the flyer and then
enclose them with all poster sales. As sellers, we would benefit by
increasing the membership of MoPo and then we would have more people that we
can drive to our web sites and auctions. Additionally, the number of want
ads will increase as well. Bruce alone could probably double the MoPo
membership in a couple months if he was to get behind this idea.
A small cost to give back to the forum while at the same time potentially
increasing your own personal business.
Opinions/comments from anybody?
Sincerely,
Dave Smith
