QoS_1919 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 1 hour ago, the tactician said: Commercial manager on holiday when the season has already started??? Shocking if true, that is the best time to get businesses to get involved in the club try and big the club up. I know people are entitled to holidays but surely common sense from the club would tell him to have a break as soon as the season. Queens are miles behind every club on all aspects even social media. I know we rely on volunteers but there should be a piece on the website atleast once a week from the manager. About programmes I buy a programme every home and away queens game and ours aren’t the best. A player interview or something would be a start, I enjoyed the fans stories last season and I hope they continue as me and my grandson liked reading them before the game started it was interesting seeing how different people got supporting our club. Aye, it's totally "shocking." How dare they go on a holiday in the summer holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priti priti priti Patel Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I agree that metrics tweet looks tinpot. So does the "our biggest fans" one. You can turn them off, so why would you leave them on? I also think it's odd that the media officer has nothing to do with social media.

How do you know when is the best time to get businesses involved? Hypothetically, the best time would be the off season so you have cash flow while there are no games and money to build a squad. That's a hypothetical. Neither of us really know, do we? But I know another club which is doing really well commercially and know both their commercial manager and chairman have taken holidays during the season. It doesn't have to be a big deal. I mean look at what you are posting. It is just foaming at the eyes stuff. What do you get out of sitting at a computer raging about someone's holidays? Take a deep breath, go for a walk, listen to some soothing music while you have a bubble bath, and after a few months of that you might be in a mindset where you can contribute positively to our club. But yeah, Mr X you have gotta turn off those metric tweets! Edited July 26, 2019 by Margaret Thatcher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 This stuff again? I can't imagine that the Social Media thing makes much difference. We are run as a small-time outfit because we essentially are one, with only 1500 people sufficiently interested to pop along each fortnight. As long as that sign on Lochfield Road (which won't make much difference either) is maintained, I'm happy. Well done to those that bother with any voluntary contributions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTulip Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) It absolutely makes a difference. It’s why advertising is the massive business it is. People see so much advertising every day there are lots of attractions/causes all pulling for peoples attention. If you don’t appear in front of people eyes and form a connection with them you will easily get forgotten.

I think MTs question is an interesting one, but maybe the question is about whether or not it makes a significant difference to crowd numbers. Honestly, Im not convinced it does. As JTulip said, though, social media is incredibly important in terms of getting peoples attention and forming a connection. Theres massive room room for improvement in that sense and promoting matches is part of that attention and connection, but Im not convinced it adds significant numbers to the crowd Edited July 27, 2019 by Mr X 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankasouthy Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 See in the press today that ex St Mirren, Ayr and Queens striker Stewart Kean has signed for his local amateur club Drongan Utd.

Still getting the boots on at 36 years old I'm afraid that all that man will ever mean to me is 'the player who was picked ahead of Dobbie for Europe'. I'm getting angry again, just thinking about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I don't think social media will attract significant numbers onto your attendance, you're not going to bang another 500 on top but it's not entirely the point, it's a fantastic tool for the fans you have just now. I've spent the past 5 and a bit years down in England and the social media output by Dunfermline, in conjunction with the official website has been good enough to keep me in the loop, as such when I come up I've not "lost it" and moved onto other hobbies. It's short termism to only consider that if it doesn't bring in more fans it's not worth it, it helps keeps existing fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happier to know he's injured and hasn't been tapped up (from Motherwell) for a transfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
