Dunatic: I was kinda wondering why shains threads got moved?
MH: Here's my 2 cents on the topic.
Tony, I agree.... I think that new product announcements and FYI's are good for the forums... It lets the members know what is out there... just don't turn it into spam.
That spam includes a huge Signature that is promoting your business and its products or links to your webpage if you are announcing stuff... keep your signature box "un checked" IMO if you are announcing a product.
There is a place for a link to your BUSINESS webpage in your drop-down Username menu... not in your signature.
If you have a new product that is cool... great.... Let people know about it.
If you are advertising something that is on sale/blowout/clearance or something that is NOT actually new..... for your business....SWAPMEET.
If you pony up the exrtra dollars to advertise like Better Boards, TracksUSA, Holz, Polaris, Z-Broz, EZ-Ride, Slednecks, Doo/Poo/Yami/Cat.... then you get some "Perks" from that... within limits. That is reasonable from the admin point of view AND for those that ARE paying for advert here.
I like seeing what is new and exciting from the different mfgs out there... we are not talking about shops that are millionaires.. most are "mom and pop" deals that are barely cutting it in the first place. Helps keep the community going for the betterment of sledding in general.
IMO, if you are on here hawking your wares left and right and finding that you are reaching your customers... consider your advert strategy.
Think of it this way... If this was not looked after in some way, you would see more sled-product-spam on the forums to wade thru than real posts... and lots of people are already up in arms about receiving an extra PM in their in-box, LOL.
Heck.. this place is easy... If you are on Thumper talk, you have to pay $500 per month to post your Business stuff in the open forums (non swapmeet) this is in addition to any money you have paid for advert.
The swapmeet is free.. and if you want people to stay on top of things you have to offer, post up frequent updates and take the time to manage you swapmeet posts so that your potential customers remain up-to-date on your products.
If your "New Product FYI" turns into questions about your current offering or about a sale... direct them to your swapmeet thread which you should also be running if you want to keep your potential customers informed.
Generally, if I see a new product... I put up FYI's about them on the main forums to let the members know what is out there even if the mfg does not post it up.
BTW... All of the Advert income $$ goes directly to Harris Publishing, not to SnoWest forums operation. That is the way it is laid down from the management from the start.
If you see someone posting a commercial solicitation who is NOT a SnoWest Sponsor, please flag the post by clicking on the "" icon and report it.
Once we confirm that it is not posted in accordance with our rules, it will get moved down to the SwapMeet where unlimited commercial posting are allowed.
Thanks.
