Hi

I got an email survey today from the club, asking for my comments on four t-shirt designs.

I thought it was terrific - listening to the members, giving us a chance to have input, getting a sense of what might be coming in the future.

Thanks to whoever was responsible... great work!

Red one looks great IMO with the retro logo.

Can someone forward the email to templarrush63@gmail.com please? I'm a member and don't seem to be getting these member emails.

Was having the same problem. Always used to get the members e-mails then they just stopped . The rest of the family were getting thiers so I called membership. They said they had been sending them to me, but that they would "reset" my details. Actually got this e-mail today.

SaintDebi · Post: # 706716Post **SaintDebi** » Wed 04 Mar 2009 9:25pm

....oh, and didn't forward the e-mail cos I thought you've prob got an in box full of them by now, but if not I can forward it on.

Much respect for the new designs.

I love anything with the old logo and the actual t-shirt designs are pretty decent as well.

I'd definitely buy 1 or 2.

lol...

I just wonder if that email went out to all fans registered with the Club, and if so, it's amazing that it did, when only a select few were chosen re days and times most suitable to the supporters of the Club.

If that email went out to all registered members for a product and the more important email was sent out to a portion of it's membership.

It really makes you wonder if the Club have our best interests in mind and not another way of making money.

I like the idea of a poll in anything the Club wants, but the Club should also conduct a poll to everyone on what their supporters want.

i got the email.

Shame they didn't send out a poll on preferred training venue !

I'd get one with "Seaford" on the front but that Moorabbin stuff is old news.

TriColourDisciple · Sun 08 Mar 2009 9:02pm

Definately the Red one.
The style of font on the others looks to Baseball-ish/American-ish.

obviously sent in jest...

As if you don't think the Club sourced other councils on this???

Just what a poll to the saints members help their cause??

My point is that this email went out to all members, because it is a source of revenue raising for the Club.

Shame the didn't send a poll to ALL members in their thoughts on what their preferences are in the day they would like to watch the Saints...

A selection of a emails to a few members that involve members, and their wishes in attending the games

AND

A mass email to all members on a poll that involve selling products ...

That is my beef

The biggest selling product is not a farken T shirt it's about attracting more members and not loosing the membership they have.

The Club is totally wrong on this issue. Membership is far greater than a farken T shirt.

They should have conducted a Poll on the membership wishes as a whole with respect to the days preferred to watch matches and not just a handfull...

Why the F*** a mass email was sent out for a T shirt instead of selling the main product?

St Fidelius · Sun 08 Mar 2009 10:05pm

Yes, it is done and dusted, but I hope the Club learns from this.

Ten Sunday matches of which we play 60% at home...

that's 6 Sunday matches and many coach junior footy and cannot attend those matches and I personally know a couple that have pulled out for that reason.

Obviously a T shirt promotion is high on the Clubs agenda and has mass emailed their supporters.

Clue to the Club...

The biggest product is MEMBERSHIP

And not some T Shirt.

In future how about emailing ALL the members a Poll in their wishes in days most wanted to see the game instead of a selected few just for "marketing"

I will more than likely by your farken T shirt, but the Club has it priorities in the wrong order.

MEMBERSHIP IS FAR GREATER THAN A T SHIRT

I hope they get that
