To get the numbers through the door you need to advertise in the mags and all the relevant forums and give people the CORRECT opening times/dates etc.
If there's as much money gone into it as people think then perhaps some if it should have been put aside to hire a decent PR man  |
I think lotussmart was being a shade ironic when he talked about the genius of the marketing... frankly, if it wasn't for the sterling work being put in by the Milton Keynes club, nobody would be using it at all.
I was keen to visit over the weekend (didn't get time in the end), but if it wasn't for this thread on oople I would have never known what was going on at the venue. The website gives no clues at all as to what is happening there. It's glossy, but if it isn't actively updated, it becomes worthless.
And to reference a comment earlier about an indoor dirt track in Bristol... well, speaking as a Bristol resident and an RC enthusiast, how come I had no idea about it? I'd been given a clue 6 months ago on this very forum that something was happening, but where is the promotion for it?
