To be clear, I was not suggesting doing away with the e version. I am simply suggesting that a print version would do a better job of reaching a different subset of club members.
It is also a physical reminder of the things the club does.
It is easier in some respects to share with other members: hand them your copy as folks from other branches of PCA have done to me.
My opinion is an opinion, not based on any "metrics." Heck, I am not even sure what that crap means, I am no marketing or advertising expert. This opinion is based on the fact that I miss the print version and many members with whom I have discussed it also miss the print version and rarely take the time to view the e version. Albeit, this is likely a very significant subset of members as these are all track folk.
The cost? I though the club as a tidy surplus. That seems like the least of the clubs concerns at this point.
the time and work that goes into it. Well, that is a very reasonable argument. Given the limited person and time resources, it make sense that it takes less person-time and other resources to create an e version vs. print version.
When this topic was being discussed by the board, members, I was one of those that felt that a print version was a waste of club money and resources. I am not so sure right now.
Just to throw out there, why not consider a print version quarterly. Say a best of with lots of photos, a summary of club activities and future activities that club members can hold and cherish...
Just a thought.
