Promoting DRP

[aff]

Now that Dale has made it clear that he is going to try to keep DRP "Anti Beedie" ,I am getting back on my membership drive campaign!!!
Any body have any suggestions as to how to promote more membership to Dales?
More members that will actually post!! As I have tried to promote, I have chatted with a few former members that said they got beat up pretty bad here before!! I have told them that I don't know about before but, Dale has been fairly decent about calling people out for bashing other people lately, and I for one think That's a good thing!!! I don't mind the disagreeing but, It can be done in a sensible manner!! OK, I know I have done it also! ( But Only with Beedie) anybody else and I can disagree in a respectable manner!!
So I think we have to police Ourselves with new members!!! BTW, I do think I have a few old members ready to come back!!

So what's some thought's? Anything besides Word of mouth?
Idea's folks!! That's how we survive! Ideas! Throw them out, Lets hear them!!

I'll start,
May sound crazy but how bout people just making up some little recipe cards with the URL on them for DRP (Dalesraceplace.com) A place to talk racing!! And just hand some out while we are at our Local Tracks? You could make quite a few of them for 5 minutes of time and a Buck!!

One final thought!!! A board that every one Is pro Jr, would be no fun at all!! A board that everyone Is pro Gordon, would be no fun at all!!! I happen to like almost all the drivers!!! But, The ones I don't like, You rarely hear me bash!!! I just talk positive about the ones I like!!! When you get in someones face about how crappy this driver or that driver is and it happens to be a driver they like, You just tick that person off and to be Brutally honest ya start sounding like Beedie!!!


After reviewing this Dale, Maybe I posted this in the wrong area!!!
I just saw, NON Nascar race talk and posted it!!! Sorry!!!

Good Ideas.h

[Dale]

Thank you aff for the interest and support. I REALLY do appreciate it. Of course, I am always out to promote DRP. I do have some stickers that I have on my vehicles, and a couple family members. And I am always trying to promote through other boards, dumb a$$ myspace, etc.

Actually, I plan to order a few things from the DRP merchandise shop. It has always been there, but recently I have added quite a few new products. Not that I am trying to get any of you to buy stuff, but check it out if you get a chance:

I have a Myspace!! I'll put a link on mine!! Maybe tomorrow!!! Good Idea Dale!!

As long as It's Beedie free I'll promote!!! I wouldn't mind if he could ever just share his view on ANY subject without insulting people and dragging other names in the conversation!! But we know he's not capable of it.

Dale,

Do you have a banner to put a sites like myspace and such? One that would hyperlink them back to here when clicked on.

[aff]

great idea!! MOM

[aff]

Rae, I copied the URL
( dalesraceplace.proboards21.com/index.cgi )
And posted it as a Blog on my page and that way it will show up as a clickable link!!! But a banner would be great!!

[Kup's mom]

I get you and the copying of the URL. With the banner I could paste it outside on my main page.

[aff]

Yep!!!

[Dale]

I will see if I can figure out how to get a code to do that. Thanks for trying to help guys, its very appreciated!!

[skidz]

Dale, isn't that a banner that could be used that's showing up as your sig?

[Dale]

No, that is just a picture basically. It is not clickable. Thanks for reminding me about this now I can get back on it. I was searching for a site that created a banner that was clickable with a code to put on myspace and/or other sites. I really appreciate the interest by you guys on this.

However, if noone minded I would probably make it to my website (dalesraceplace.com) rather than right to the message board. There are links and stuff all over there to easily get you right here to this message board...

[Kup's mom]

It is your board. You do what you need to do and we will just help spread the word.

[Dale]

Cool, thanks again guys.

Here is a code for myspace, etc that will make a clickable banner.

<a href="http://www.dalesraceplace.com"><img src="http://i23.tinypic.com/35aqds8.jpg" alt="my banner"></a>


just copy and paste that in and it works, I tested it on my myspace.

[aff]

Worked great Dale!!! Thanks
