When I sent out the mass e-mail, I probably had about 10 people like the MM FB page immediately and I had about 5 people either message me on Facebook, Post on these forums, or come up to me at the car show and ask me about joining. The car people are out there, they just don't know about us.
There's not much MORE I can do, but I will continue to push for wide exposure. Like how I wanted to make our sweatshirts stand out more (and achieved), as well as mass e-mails, getting more likes and shares on the FB page, the twitter account I run, getting an MM banner, using the large pong table to advertise, getting ads on the bus (properly this year), getting actual flyers for the show, my MM business cards that I leave on people's cars, etc.
Two step process.
1. Make sure people KNOW about MM
2. Make sure people join and STAY
So the second part is how I try my best to meet every single person that steps into a classroom meeting or MM event and introduce myself and the other officers, give them my contact information, and make them feel welcome. My last two years as an officer, I feel I have done a better and better job each time, so I suspect this next year we will have our largest active member group ever.
