I sent a message out to all members of this board today. The following is a copy of that message. I am putting a copy here so we can have a group discussion on how to proceed from here.

_______ MESSAGE BEGIN _________

Good Evening All,

I am hoping to get some help from you members of UtahConcealedCarry.com.
I have just offloaded a bunch of sites I was responsible for so that I
can concentrate on growing this site. I know that this board has huge
potential and will be a great place for like minded individuals to come
and interact.

So here is what I need help with. First, I need your feedback. What will
make you visit and post more on UtahConcealedCarry? Second, How can we
get the site out to people who do not know about it now? If I put
together some nice new flyers and business card designs will you all
print some out and drop them off to places you are already going to. Gun
stores, Sporting Good stores, Shooting ranges etc.

Please send me some feedback. You can reply to this message and I will
recieve it or you can go to the board and post your comments there. My
hope is to hit 300 members by the end of this year. That should not be
hard to do at all.

Thanks for your help,

 

[Thomas]

Here is one thought sent to me via email from one of our members:

"I wonder if some friendly gun store owners would let a few stacks of
your cards be put out on their tables at the next Crossroads of the West
gun show..."

I have actually thought about getting a table at the show to promote UCC. I have been trying to figure out a cheap item I can afford to mass produce and give away at the show. Any ideas?

 

[Jeff Johnson]

I've actually printed out cards and handed them out at the Crossroads Gun Show before. I'm afraid that the printing job I did wasn't the greatest. I don't know if the cards generated any traffic to this site. I'll have to try again with better cards.

I can also see if my local gun range (Utah Shooting Academy) will let me put up a flyer.

Are you going to create new cards and posters? Where can we get them?

 

[Thomas]

I will post them here on the site as soon as I finish them.

Thanks,

Cool. I'll help.

Need any donations?

 

[Thomas]

I am in the process of setting up two types of donation options. One will be a one time donation you can make whenever you wnat and the other will be a subscription option so you can sign up for so much per month.

Thanks for the offer and keep watching it will be at the top of the page soon.

Thanks again,

 

[James O Johnson]

If you want to work up a flyer I'll post it at the shop. Make it bold and noticable, we've got a wall full of postings. Maybe I'll print a few extra and put them on the counter.

 

[tapehoser]

Any word yet on the donation deal, Thomas?

 

[Thomas]

Should be done in the next couple of days.
