Triggerhappy Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes I saw him there. Should have gone up and said hi. It was a busy show. Picked up some things there. Belinda couldn't pass up more clothing and I picked up some Linq items (the 14 liter stackable gas caddy and the bag to go on top of it). Should give me more peace of mind when doing a few longer legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I was moved, nearly to tears of joy, when I espied Bill manning the booth at the Big E. . As jak opined, the man has a magnificent leg. Pud and I enjoyed visiting with MrGutz at Bill's stand. Ran into 8 or 9 Quebec Riders circulating the displays. Everybody stoked for the winter to come. Crowd was jumbo, and folks were spending money like crazy. All good, with the exception of the "seminar's" conducted in the Ballroom Saturday Afternoon. A tad low on content. I was looking forward to the segment on setting-up and tuning your suspension for conditions. Not much take-home. Timbo MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (QuebecRider.com), I've been told, have metrics and KPI's on "Eyes on Pages", "Clicks on Adds" and "Unique Page Requests" all showing value for your ad dollars. Bill actively brought on several site sponsors and their support is Very Appreciated, but he had a hard time looking for New Sponsors and Asking them to buy in when other businesses were getting "Free" advertising. For me this is a little difficult as I don't usually feel comfortable with the "Ask" to the business owners. Some people slide right into it. Maybe we can come up with a way to make it easier, a Card with contact info and access to metrics we can hand out at these places? I don't have a good answer. I do not want this place to end up like Dootalk.com. I tried to pull it up on my phone and I waded through 3 video ads just to find out the Torque needed for a PB80 Clutch. We do miss having him on and I wish he\we could put it behind us. Later GutZ PLAYHARD, Shane, Fuse6 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presuming a shy QR is inside these fine establishments, and they're web-enabled, just take potential sponsors to this link: www.quebecrider.com/advertisers It really is an affordable way into all of our hearts & minds.

I hear you, it's really affordable, I Believe it is only 100usd for a banner Ad, which in terms ROI is 1 night lodging, 3 guys\gals for lunch, etc....

182ray Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think a simple “ I heard about you on Quebec Rider” would be a great start MrGutz, Snobeeler and ckf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all mention at check-in etc, that good reviews on QR helped influenced the decision to stay at their business.

Snobeeler Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Agreed, a simple "I heard etc." is a good start but may not get to the right person in larger businesses. Handing a card to the desk clerk and asking them to get it to the hotel manager would be better in those cases. just my $.02. nyskidooerinnewhampshire, PLAYHARD, Florida Snowman and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
