or do you work shifts longer than 8 hours? in which case your leave in hours is probably correct?

12 would be the equivalent of 18 so still seems a little short.

haven,t got enough sickies haven,t got enough holidays--excuses -excuses-excuses. Of course, leaving it right to the last minute makes it quite convenient for the last minute "emergency" excuse...... merely an observation. |

I'm a bit bemused by all this. The club must have way over 6000 punters to target personally and directly, which must be considerably more effective than giving out leaflets willy nilly at happy clappy village fetes and the like. Well intentioned and good awareness but you get my drift.
AF was quoted in the Adver as saying "we expected that there would be a bit of a big take up of season tickets in the middle of June, but for some reason that hasn't quite happened so that's a bit disappointing".....to me that reads that there are a lot still to renew from last season.....which should actually be good news, numbers wise.
These are people who shelled out considerably more a year ago to watch a dull team at a club that could fold any day. It's a bit simple but have the club phoned these fans "thanks for your support....just checking that you are aware of our fantastic offer....etc etc...."?
Likewise, has everyone else on the tickets database been directly targetted by E Mail, phone, letter or camping on their doorsteps until the fuckers relent? Simple, cheap, direct, personal sales activity will get the quickest results.
Give incentives to staff for selling. Embrace those holding out by welcoming post-dated cheques, or we'll get hung by our own deadline and convenient excuses as Neville points out above. Make it even easier to transact - Saturday afternoon, online, whatever. Lie about the numbers "what a jump from 3726 to 5541 in a single day!" Anything. If all this and more is already happening, great, do more of it. If not, there's enough time to make the difference. Just.
Above all, be positive. As several have suggested, however disappointing 3726 might feel today, every sale now is progression from last year, every sale is a step towards a better future.

Well intentioned and good awareness but you get my drift. . Yes, you're sneering for the sake of it. The club have targeted a series of events none of which involve "happy clappy village fetes" as you put it, most of them have actually been the likes of the larger six-a-side football tournaments that run in the area over the summer, plus some of the larger "community" events, all of which seems to me at any rate to be well-targeted at expanding awareness to new customers. Clearly any business would be crazy to try to expand its customer base in this way and should instead focus on continually trying to wring ever more out of an existing customer base that has been shrinking for years. Well done. |
