Glyn Hopkin turns over £450,000,000 a year, so hopefully has a few ideas on marketing!

Don't know when you was last in a school, but they'll hand out flyers for almost anything. Something that benefits their students and encourages them to do something on weekends aside from sitting on their arse is something they'll be happy to stuff into registers. Flyers may not necessarily be the right way to go about it, but kids are definitely the best way to build up a long term following.
I don't know when you last contacted a school to ask them to hand out flyers. I did it a few months a go with a load of Dagenham primary schools and didn't even get a "No thanks".
I was offering something that I and many would could a more worthwhile hobby than standing around watching football.NBDag wrote:Well with all due respect, you might not have as much influence on them as the local football club trying to give kids a worthwhile hobby. But I didn't write my initial idea with the intention of getting your approval. Different people respond to different initiatives and I know what I said would work with people like me. It's up to the club to decide what they think, if anything, is worthwhile doing.Adrian wrote:I don't know when you last contacted a school to ask them to hand out flyers.

It is rather. I was surprised. Profit is of course low margin in motor trade, but still around £10m I think.The Romford Dagger wrote: The link doesn't work
£450m is an incredible number
What is more incredible is that we were scratching around for investment from the Easts and Tamplin when we had a guy who was already involved in the club like Glyn who it would seem no one approached until the circus was in full swing.Alan wrote:It is rather.

So he was asked and said he was not interested? Who asked? What changed?dagger4eva wrote:I may be mistaken but I believe Glyn was a little reluctant, initially, to get fully fledged involved. A god send that he is now though I think most would be able to agree on.
Maybe time for an interview with him on Digger Dagger?Mike the Dagger wrote:So he was asked and said he was not interested? Who asked?
