Summer Event OLF Swap Meet!
Greetings. Brock and I have been discussing a few ideas to get the membership excited and traffic humming at the OLF and we have decide to sponsor an online SWAP MEET event between the dates of July 10 – 21st. This should get everyone focused on this event, generate a lot of talk, excitement and pre-sale buzz. During the sale we expect to see our traffic spike and hopefully we can all do some commerce in the slow luthier months.
Here is how it will work. We will create a new forum called “OLF Swap Meet – July 10 – 21st “ (clever name, huh?
) . Each selling participant will get the right to open a thread and conduct business however they see fit (observing common OLF rules of course). We think it would be a great idea for everyone to prepare for the sale with really great pictures, aggressive pricing, special offers for larger ticket sales, and other promotions that will get the members in a buying mood.
As paid sponsors of the OLF you will get to participate in this event for free. You will receive a thread in the forum which we will mark sticky so you stay at the head of the list. Our regular members and visitors may sell by paying a $35 entry fee. No others will be allowed to sell. As paid members you will also get to go in a few days early and set up shop so you can hit the ground running. We will not offer this to our non-sponsor participants. We think this will give you the best opportunity to showcase your products in a professional and enticing way.
We are also hoping it is a way to attract new members to the OLF by outsiders hearing about this sale and coming to the OLF for the first time.
As the sale winds down we will archive the threads and close up this discussion group. We think this will be a fun activity for the summer.
I hope you all choose to participate. We are very excited about this event.
Thanks,
Lance.
