hmmm, if you marshall at a site (like i used to) then perhaps you could ask the owner if a group of your friends could come up, and that they only have to pay for paint, or get like a £1 off every 100 paintballs they buy? the site at which i used to marshall at let me do that one time, and they did come back and gladly payed full price :D
:eek: that's a pretty sweet idea
also bricketwood are doing a special offers for temas who train there get half the amount of a groups full cost if they organise it, so you can help them and get ££

Double post yay!

Sorry for the late reply, I lead a very busy and important life.

The reason I weep for you is two fold.

Andy realistically only wants you to tell people about his site. He's put it on his forum, and has told you to do it. I would guess his forum mostly contains people who go to his sites to play or have a vested interest in his site. Essentially he doesn't want to spend money promoting his own site and wants you to be his bitches. That's the be all and end all. The second is that clearly, none of you understand marketing or the way it works on facebook. I have a limited understanding of how it works and it is not just as simple as putting a status update on facebook. Viral things (because in essence that's what this is. A viral ad) work because they are spontaneous and not contrived (for the most part). Whilst massive companies may put viral adverts together there is no guarantee they will work and for the most they don't.

Wake up. Realise that there is no philanthropic motive behind anything in paintball. It's a business designed to make money for people who are selling you a product or service. This in itself isn't a bad thing. It's people trying to use you that is the bad thing. In my humble opinion anyway. Not that that counts for much.

Essentially you are puppets doing the work he should be doing.

well I didn't post it on facebook :) In fact i suggested another way of getting rentals to come back to play paintball at a site, in fact I agree, facebook is generally quite useless at trying get people to do/promote things, firstly just because they see the post doesn't exactly mean they will even acknowledge it, and even if they did join a sites facebook group, unless there active members on it they wont even see the posts made by the owner of the group.

now that i think about it, isn't this just a clever way of getting around the no advertising unless you pay rule? asking people on here to go off and advertising the site elsewhere, you're very clever mario :)
