Ok, so here is what I would like to propose.
Put simply - We need more consistent, local, traffic to this site.
I know that everyone knows and wants to see this happen and I am sure there is stuff being done about that but I think that we should really try and push OKGamers out into the community. I knw that this community has many different connections through alot of people and they arent being used. I know that everyone wants this site and community to grow tenfold and be the central place for Oklahoma gamers to go. That is why I wanted to start this thread.
-I think that we really need to push more online advertising, I know that this usually costs money, but if we could find other sites that are willing to just trade advertising spots that would help a bunch. Plus the free advertisment such as Myspace, Twitter, Facebook etc... I also think that there should be new forums signatures that people can put on their forum accounts on all their different sites, like MLG, PureTalentGaming, HaloArena, etc...
-Local advertising in OKC and Tulsa. If we got a truly dedicated street team for both citys that once every 2 weeks or so took more flyers to the local GameStops, Wal-Marts, Targets, or really any place in town that will let you put some flyers in their store.
-Broadtexter would be a great way to get OKGamers name even more known. HxC uses Broadtexter and it has helped tremendously with getting out info on our Tournaments and such. If properly advertised it would be insanely successful. The wonderful thing about this is that it is totally FREE!
All of these things are achievable and easy ways to advertise, and I know that these kinds of things are discussed at the OKGamers meetings in Tulsa but, and with all due respect, I dont see much being done to help push OKGamers into the community and I and HxC would like to help make OKGamers bigger and better for everyone in Oklahoma.
So with all of this said, lets gather up some really easy affordable ideas and get the ball rolling!
