Lame Membership Numbers - Whats the fix?

[pHyR3]

flights cost a lot of money, and they dont make ridiculous profits either. i think i read somewhere the entire industry of commericial flights made like $10 billion profits. which sounds like a lot, but their operating revenue would be well past the 100s of billions, maybe even trillions.

doesnt sound too viable

I don't disagree with you but in business, it is all about forming alliances. And let's not forget that Tiger Airways have some pretty good backers otherwise they wouldn't have come here in the first place so I don't see them suddenly disappearing. Forming an alliance with Wests Tigers is a fairly cheap form of advertising relative to other forms of the media.

But getting back to Mad Units point, For him it goes beyond the $50 and what's in it for me. He wants to be engaged as a member. He wants to get to a game and perhaps a members event. If, as part of his interstate offering, he was offered a cut price air ticket / accommodation as part of the Wests Tigers/Tiger Airways alliance, he would be more likely to do it. It's a win win situation for everyone. Tiger get a bum on a seat they otherwise wouldn't have albeit a lower margin fare, Wests Tigers get an extra member and Mad Unit gets to see his team in action. Absolutely no reason that couldn't work. Just need a CEO with a bit of foresight and imagination to make it happen rather than the same old rubbish every year.

I thought we already had a deal with them to advertise, and they might have also taken our players to some games by plane? i think…

thats a good initiatve ink, need more of that! wouldnt have minded adding in some NYC players too. I think Moses was injured then. The more the better 5-7 players would probably make for a better event.

Yeah we do …. But we can better use their facility and extend an offering to our interstate fans. There is a market there for the club to tap into (ie the interstate fan base) to grow the membership. Maybe it's just easier for Mayer and co to mail out a car sticker and key ring and say that's the best we can do every year ..... :unamused:
Thank goodness we have blokes like Madunit on the forum who challenge the status quo rather than those who just accept what's given and pat themselves on the back for doing so :laughing:

I thought ink and myself explained how that is financially unviable…?

He's trolling phyre.

Wasting peoples time

Financially unviable for who ?
MadUnit, the club or Tiger airways ?

 

[pHyR3]

the club, tiger airways and the rest of the member base. Depending on who takes the brunt of the cost.

madunit will obviously be benefited if he receives airline subsidies, but to me and everyone else BUT madunit the cost outweighs the small benefit.

No, I'm afraid that is not correct. The club would benefit by additional membership, Tiger Airways would benefit by extra customers and the interstate members would benefit by being closer to their team. So I'm sorry mate but you are not correct this time :smiley:

yep youre right

I don't post here much.
if you offer good value for money, then won''t your membership increase?

Knuckles , the Tigers Airways solution may not be the answer , but your dealing with a few who aren't willing to change and can't accept that change will be the only way we ( talking on the rugby league community )can survive in the long term

And if people can't accept we need ideas from outside of the box within 25 year their will be only 14 Rugby League sides in the NRL (4 teams in Sydney ) and unless the Tigers are prepared to relocate or merge again we will probably be ancient history

Yes …. I Know Happy !
I try to help those stuck in the past to see the way forward ..... But it's like leading a horse to the water but not getting it to drink !
But you are so right .... If we can't change with the times then we will be left behind forever. And it may not take 25 years to find out.

You are doing gods work, knuckle.

Now if only we could just get Mayer to hire you and run the club, things would be hunky dory!

 

[innsaneink]

What does owning a mobile phone or having a ATM card got to do with the price of eggs in China Ink ??

Already large percentage of memberships for next season are for the ANZ package, this does not surprise me at all …want to triple your membership = value for money in a modern and central location with transport now that's rocket science ..one day soon our club will wake up to pandering to the few is not good business!

actually it's more because the ANZ membership is $50 for 4 games (with 3 more free) while LO and CS are $110 and $100 respectively for the same number of games…
