Promotional Efforts to Date

• 3/15/11 - Event posted on CTGunTalk.com (CortJestir)

I signed up to instruct this one - not 100% sure about my schedule that weekend, but I should be able to make at least one day, if not both. I'm sure I'll be able to entice Who_Me? along as well. Looking forward to the shoot - now let's get the promotions machine ramped up  ~~:)

 Okay folks, we are  4 weeks out, 9 out of 30 spots sold. I'll see about some of the guys up that way topping off fliers and schedules. We should be able to come close on a full line, IMHO.
I'll see about getting to the newington area by the weekend to do the same.

 Just checked IT scheduling and it's The Log and myself at the moment. With the shoot being less than 3 weeks away it would be good to have you check your calendars to work this event.
It could be one of the better shoots to work weatherwise and that alone should help fill the firing line with the potential of 30 participants.

Who_Me? will be joining me, but we're likely there for one day only - not sure which one yet, though, since it depends on the Little League schedule. We might make it both days, but I won't know until maybe next week.

So c'mon, CT Crew - we need someone out there with us! You're not going to let us get all the glory, are you?

I will be there. I truly hope we can do better than 9 out of 30, though. I am 7th stepping everyone I know to join us. Time to get on Facebook, Twitter and pick up the phone.

See you all there!

I've got a few at work who've blown me off before, usually with the "it's too cold" excuse. I'll lay on the guilt and see what I can do.

Ok, a few weeks away, any updates on available slots? I just checked Eventbrite and it still shows 21 available, which means it hasn't moved in a week. Uh oh!  I'm still working on 3 or 4 folks.

 The Snap On tool guy stopped by this am kind of ticked off. He was unhappy with peoples take on Memorial Day as just a day off, or to go out and buy something that some outfit has on sale. We discussed this a little more and he felt that he was more American than most of the people that live here. BTW he's from Poland. I told him to wait a minute, got a couple fliers from the car and downloaded the info for the shoot in Hartford. He seemed pretty interested, we'll see...

I sent the PM to Instructor Scheduling, its all squared away :)

 Excellent! Thanks for signing on. It will make things flow better for sure.
Some last minute 7th stepping may be starting to add to the number, hopefully. I'm waiting to hear from a few folks on it. And the Snap on man will be in tomorrow.
