And how do we attract the many owners who don't participate in the forum and local clubs? There are hundreds of them in this area alone!
Ideas?
activities:
panel swap?
cookout showcasing local flavours?
some sort of critical mass type event where we let the public now "we're here... down here"
Would dealers be willing or able to share their listings of everyone they've sold to? That could give a regional contact person a good, solid list of folks to contact. I think a lot of them may respond to a personal invite to a "Buddy" event.ericalm wrote:Okay, say there were a big gathering of Buddyists in one place. We could do a ride… but anything else?

You'd probably be better off either working with the dealer as a no-fee guest/host/contact or giving them promo material and asking them if they'd support it by putting it in their publicity machine. Website, email list, or a poster in the window or something.Howardr wrote:Would dealers be willing or able to share their listings of everyone they've sold to?

And they have some good, fun stuff to do (games, rides, and a big 'ol raffle)!
+1 We definitely don't want dealers handing over their mailing lists, but enlisting their help is a great idea.Cheshire wrote:You'd probably be better off either working with the dealer as a no-fee guest/host/contact or giving them promo material and asking them if they'd support it by putting it in their publicity machine.

Most businesses don't share their mailing lists with anyone...for good reason. Their customers are on those lists with an understanding that informantion won't be shared. I know my customers would disown me in a second if they found out I shared their info! (I'm an artisan.)
