I am sad when I hear all the dire predictions about the future of York. Let’s be constructive. What can all of us do to promote York? I was able to stay till Saturday (I usually do that in the Spring) and I went to the Eastern Division business meeting. The Eastern Division leadership is aware of the issues and I’m sure they would like to hear about good ideas to promote the show. Money is always a problem....which is no surprise.....heck, when was the last time you got a break at the grocery store?
Let’s have constructive ideas.......what would you do to promote York?
If you were the Easter Division?
If you were national TCA?
If you were one of the other train clubs? LCCA, LOTS, TTOS, etc?
If you were a major manufacturer?
If you were a small “cottage” manufacturer?
If you were a big vendor?
If you were a small vendor?
For TCA members....if you are a young member (under 40), middle age (40-65), or one in retirement men years (65+)?
Or for any other category I missed....
REMEMBER.....the Pennsylvania State Tax is NOT going away, so you have to preserve the MEET STATUS for member to member meet transactions.
I am not an MBA and those of you with business, advertising and financial backgrounds, your advice is welcome because you know the reality of what is possible.
Let’s be constructive and positive. Maybe there are things that individuals and local groups of us can do (like our many modular groups). I am interested in hearing everone’s thoughts.
