CSC Facebook Page - Lods - 01-23-2023
(01-23-2023, 06:15 AM)spf link Wrote:Have we advertised this site? I had a casual chat to a couple of Carlton supporters at the Carlton vs Port Adelaide game (MCG) last year, and none of them knew of this site at all. Nobody had heard of it. Most of those people I would place in the 30 - 45 years bracket.
It's a great idea.
I guess the question I guess is... how?
You could post a link on one of the Facebook fan pages but I doubt it would get past the admin of those pages.
We could set up our own Facebook page which would link to anyone searching for a Carlton fan page or forum and from there back to this site....we would lose a bit of personal anonymity. The plus there would be a useful back-up when the CSC site struck trouble. The problem with that is that I think the name 'Carlton Supporters Club' has already been taken.
Others more familiar with the social media the young-uns use may have some ideas for advertising on those platforms.
One idea that was suggested in the past was that we print out some business cards with the site's web address and hand them out to anyone wearing Carlton gear at the games. You'd get a pretty good coverage in an afternoon. It could be done on a home PC.
Apart from that we're probably a bit limited as to advertising options.

I just did a quick fb search and “Carlton blues supporters club” is there, but our name appears available…
I suspect most of CSC members here, would prefer some type of fb real estate that guided posters/readers back here (as opposed to focusing discussion in a fb group ) ?
So possibly publishing effectively a link and headline to threads back here ?
Re: CSC Facebook Page - northernblue - 01-23-2023
We now have a Facebook group ?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2003905929941294/?ref=share_group_link
I don’t know how to, but I’d envisage posting links to individual CSC Forum posts and hopefully getting some traffic to come here.
People here who are adverse to having their real names known would have no need to use the Facebook side.
Some people will only post/comment on Facebook and that’s ok.
What I’ve done is purely a “beta” it can be promoted, canned and/or I’m happy to add or hand over admin rights.
Robblues has suggested that admin/mods of CSC should send out a group email to the member database asking them to come back or a survey about why they do/don’t post anymore.
A penny for your thoughts please…

Robblues has been lured out of forum retirement, almost…
He’s trying, but is unable to log in with his new password, can anyone help here ?
Re: CSC Facebook Page - Lods - 01-23-2023
Probably just need to check that the admin/mods on here are OK with this process.
If they are, they should probably be included as admin on the facebook site on the understanding that their profiles will probably be public.
The page's purpose should primarily be to promote and direct to this site.
Links, announcements interesting topics on the forums can be referenced.
We want it to add to the conversation on here not diminish traffic.
Let's treat it as a work in progress for the moment and nut out any issues.
There might be some problems we haven't foreseen.

Yes to all of the above Lods.
It was more a matter of grabbing (securing) the fb name there and then.

Yep
That makes sense to lock the name in.
We can then thrash out any problems folks might see.
In the mean-time it might be interesting to see if any Carlton tragics find the page and register.
Re: CSC Facebook Page - northernblue - 01-23-2023
I added Rob and he added a mate, so there’s 3 of us at the moment… ??
Everyone else will need to follow the link above or search fb, even you Lods ???
