******************************************************* Congratulations Joyce and Phil for VOTW!!!! *******************************************************
Dear POTW Team,
I definitely hear your concern about participation. It is this way all over Adland. When the BFA account was created, Pauline and I had to start from scratch to build back up the numbers. The only easy part about it is the wonderful regulars who just knew to watch for it. Plus, we have spent time inviting new members to join and participate.
About those 85,000 or so registered members here at Adland. If you will wonder through many of those accounts, you will find that they never spent any time here. I call them drive-bys. LOL!!!!
Now about the poll you have going here:
First, I have to say that I will go with what ever is decided.
Secondly, I would not like to see it become a monthly event, because John Partington all ready has a monthly award that recognizes our friends here in the community - Just Perfect Award! He does a splendid job too I might ad.
Thirdly, It is a privilege to get to wander through the salutations each week. I think depression would wrap her arms around Adland real fast! It is the caffeine of my week!
Fourthly, thank you Judy for using the Bulletin Board. It is updated each week with the new election links, nomination link, congratulatory links for ALL of the election forums of which the POTW is included!
Fifthly, I hope that I didn't miss the point of this poll.
******************
How do we resolve the low numbers of participation? I think it involves a plan. A plan to target new members by introducing them the benefits of voting and being here. With the BFA, our purpose is to increase the community activity by way of encouraging members to create forums. Professional looking forums have a good chance of winning some $$$. With that said, I think we can all help promote all of the electorial forums and increase participation throughout Adland. Invite new members regularly!
********************
I wish the best for POTW!!! It has been a great joy for me here at Adland.
Joe
