Red or Dead Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Or there's thing called...uhh social networking?? Have you heard of this new up and coming website called FACEBOOK?

theresonlyonebzamora Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Some advice for club administration to help increase membership: 1) I was a member last season and have not received anything about new memberships, by email or post. The first I heard about this were those Melbourne Heart website ads that are everywhere these days. Hopefully these ads attract new members, but also need to maintain the existing membership. 2) There are many empty seats at the regular games so would be great to give members free tickets for friends. I invited a friend to that new years match last season and they loved the supporter atmosphere. 3) I would guess that the majority of members (like myself) are not actively reading these forums so should email the membership about exciting developments, like signing Kewel. I just discovered that this morning. 1) So you can see website ads, but you didn't know kewell was signed? I'm assuming you think Orlando Engelaar is just a random name generated to cause excitement amongst fans? 2) I could be wrong but aren't they planning to do that this year? 3) The majority of members at least read the paper, or see billboards across town, or attending other sporting events... or just don't live under a rock. Maybe you should ask the club to send you telegram updates? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marteaux Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Giving away free tickets devalues membership to potential members and frustrates current members who have paid full price.

I think the casino's turn over a tiny bit more money than us, and thats why they give you a free 5 dollar chip Giving away free tickets devalues membership to potential members and frustrates current members who have paid full price.

RoyalHeart Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 5576 at the moment which is a nice jump. Was pessimistic about 6000 by round 1 and probably still am, this would mean we need approx 80 odd a day to get this before the Victory game. Would be awesome but the club has put it out there that that is their goal. Reckon we might just miss it but if we win the derby on Sat I think this will tick over 6000 late next Monday.

If 6000 was achieved by round 1 I'm not sure how anyone could suggest that's nothing but a great result. That's more than 90% of our best ever figure. Remember Heart was 10 minutes away from winning a wooden spoon last season and gained 1 point outside Victoria. To me this shows if on field performances come Melbourne Heart can have a large presence in the Victorian sporting market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 5613 @ 9:45pm! We need 87 members in the next 4 days to make that 20% increase the day before our first game! That's 22 per day which is very achievable the way we've been going the past few days. At the moment we're sitting on 18.17% increase! That's pretty damn good! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biancorosso7 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Last season I was in bay 18 with couple if mates. We stood and sang white the rest of the ppl in there just sat like dead flogs Active bay? Not at all! Middle bay was full so there was no option. But if the middle bay was extended up ..... It's our mission to stand in Bay 18 and either annoy as many sitters as possible, or convert them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "after" our first home game because I'm guessing there'll be a few signing up on the day of the match Haha I am just going off this last week which has been pretty big, plus going off the fact a large people will sign up on the Saturday at the actual derby, then IF we win a large number of people will hopefully sign up on the Sunday, plus taking some time for processing can maybe see the figure sneaking up to 6000 around Monday arvo, would still be happy with 6000 by the CCM game but. Not always an optimist but as I was on 442 saying that we could struggle to make 5600 by the central coast game so was happy to be proven wrong! Am loving the counter but, reckon it has definitely enticed more fans, I think people have felt they want to chip away and increase that number slowly but surely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on Ch 9 news on Saturday night and the reporter said to him, 'memberships are up 15-16%', as if to pat him on the back. Kewell responded with "Is that all!!!"
