Getting in touch with RCAF

[JamesTheJeweler]

Erin was just hired I believe in May. She’s a very nice woman. If any of you are _______s to her I’ll kick your ass. She ain’t responsible for the RCAF sins of the past

You ain't gon do sh_t

In all fairness to the RCAF this is the biggest vacation week of the year. Many business are running with skeleton crews this week.

Maybe, but this isn't the first time people have posted having trouble with them answering or returning phone calls/emails. This has been an ongoing issue.

Now we got folks threatening other folks?

Sounds good but then they would drop the ball with communication on getting them to become actual paying members.

Put a student intern majoring in marketing on the job, pay intern via a commission. Creative, out the box idea?

Getting a student intern to answer the phone is a great idea, problem solved! RCAF needs to make this happen for August.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I'll say this till I'm proven wrong, but RCAF has completely forgotten those on the lower end of the donation scale. How many more members would there be if the lower tiers of membership had been promoted instead of creating the culture of RCAF being for the big money doners only. Don't like the idea of free for recent grads, get them to put some skin in the game too...maybe $25 a month? Free is just that, free. In todays marketing world, there is no advantage to something being free. Once it stops being free, for most, it stops.

I completely agree. All they seem to be worried bout are the big boys. Same thing for Cajun Field renovations, it appears they are only asking for really big pledges. Maybe we would be closer to reaching goal if intermediate to smaller commitments were sought after. Maybe even a public campaign so more fans have skin in the game if feasible.

$25 a month.? Hell they can get in for $50 a year! I would be good with 10,000 more folks giving $50 per year.

That's doable and you are spot on.

Just to drive the point home of the foolishness of ignoring the bottom dollars: A mere 2,000 more members at only $25 a year would have generated a half million dollars over the last 10 years.

Just wrote it off the cuff, but you get the point...
