How many bands have a guest book at every concert and add new names from that book to a data base >that becomes the basis for a mailing list.? Just a thought. Great Idea. At our last concert we distributed an information sheet with a request for feedback. As a result we have had quite a few enquires about our next concert (Friday 19th June, Forestville RSL - "Warringah Brass in Concert"). I can't repeat all the suggestions here (make your eyes water! :-)), but suffice to say we had mostly favourable comments, but no innovative ideas. Let's say it confirmed our feeling that we have a growing following in our local community. I'll propose the Guest Book idea at the next committee meeting. The database - have you ever maintained a mailing list? I do, for about 200 optometrists, Australia wide. It's a lot of work just removing invalid addresses and adding new people (it's a closed list). Something more for our overworked secretary to do. Newsletter? - Lets say we get 400 names from the next concert. The mail-out cost would be 0.40c x 400 = $160.00. A regular newsletter on this basis would soon erode the concert proceeds, but its certainly worth a try, and if it meant more bums on seats in a bigger venue, t'would be worthwhile. Another alternative is a regular column in a local newspaper, I suppose. Phil.
