Title: Membership Drive Underway!
Post by: Isk8NYC on July 13, 2013, 10:45:09 AM
Last year, our goal was to have 1,000 members by our anniversary at the end of August.

This year, we are fairly close to having 1,500 members - only 79 newbies away!

The best form of advertising is word-of-mouth, so spread the word that skatingforums.com is 11 years young and still going strong! 
If you refer to information you acquired on our site, give us credit so that others can join, learn and contribute.

On skatingforums.com, figure skaters find tons of free information, such as:

. First-hand reviews and advice from skaters about figure skating equipment and usage
. Members-only conversation forum for technical skating tips and problems
. Private forums to request critiques and share your test/show/competition successes on video
. The most up-to-date information on events for adult figure skaters on the 'net
. Extensive reference resources for learning more about the sport
. Coach/Instructor topics on education, trends, rules and teaching tips
. A moderated, well-organized format covering all things that figure skaters need to know
. Comprehensive search features to research current as well as our 10-year archive of past information

Did I mention that this is all free?  Join today!

1,438 members as of this morning!  I don't know if we'll get enough (real) new members to reach 1,500 by the end of August.  *crosses fingers*

Any suggestions on attracting new members?

Skate bag / zuca sticker anyone? What about designing some cute skating T-shirts with a skatingforums message ;D  It's really easy to order clothing / labels with custom artwork nowadays.

25 more members and we reach 1,500!  I don't think we'll make it by 8/31, but maybe in September or October of this year.

That's okay, what's more important is that we have an active, vibrant community to support and promote figure skating, especially adult figure skating.
