Possibility of a co-ordinated Facebook event?

[Brunwulf]

For this to work eBid needs really to be involved to help advertise the event as it is benefiting them, Us members can do only so much


eBid could do:

1) A special "news email" can be sent out for the hundreds of thousands of members that dont read the forum,
2) Change the current ad words campaign advertising the event (nice catchy banner)
3) Change the current face book ad's advertising the event (nice catchy banner)
4) Banner on the home page of eBid.


Now we just need decide on a cracking idea

Just rambling thoughts............

Not for charity..........I think we do enough of that already

Da Boyz need to ok, and be involved with this
& put a special event category up where everyone could list (not in the charity section - got one already)
(most folks are nosey...they will "wander" around the site anyway)

I'm sure we could muster up some prizes for BUYERS......bid or buy, and go in the draw

Run with the corporate theme......"purple" it's simple (simple is always good!)

If this is what it takes to get most members involved then this should be done. At least a mass email from the boyz letting all know what's on the table.

Don't forget, if the boys don't get on-board (and I agree it would be better if they did, but they'll need to hear a decent proposal first) we can still post to the official eBid page about it, so others will see it not just forum users. A small, but significant improvement. But something the guys can back would be even better!

Without plugging another site - suggest that folks have a look at Bonanza's home page - click on buy - then click on rush sales.

That might just give an idea or two - except on ebid, it could be co-ordinated through facebook as per kimbo suggestion

I agree once we get an outstanding idea we can then present it to them. So let's concentrate on the event idea itself then move on to who what where and how.

I agree

How about the ABC of ebid, all we need is one seller for each letter of the english alphabet, each seller agreeing to list an auction beginning with a given letter

I don't mind putting a marketing plan together.....
but the whole concept really does need to be kept simple

Catchphrase: Got to have one! (think Tesco's, think L'Oreal)

Research: How many sellers would want to take part?

Capacity: Would you limit the number of auctions that a seller can list in a "promotion" category?

Time frame for promotion: date? A month? A week?

I could go on and on, but maybe a poll outlining all the "variables" would be the best place to start.....perhaps when the ideas have dried up on this thread?

Those coming up with ideas may want to first go into your facebook account and create an event just to see what it entails. This will give us all a better idea of what to come up with. I beleive you should be able to create an event without having to post it. Once I log on and try it I will post the criteria needed then we can start fiilling in the blanks as we go. The key at this point is to get as many eBid/Facebook members involved as we can to insure success.
