GREAT JOB CHAD!

yay for me and my tip!


clearly i need some of the glory here.

heh. Thanks Amara. And yes, Danielle (lorend) helped with suggesting we submit to the Daily News. So thanks Danielle!

yay me!

someone get me a cheering section.

hey i think you guys should advertise this website more, or put it on the school website, or maybe send out emails to all incoming students so they know about this website..i didnt know about it until someone told me..i think its great..but alota ppl dont know it exists..
just a suggestion

Thanks for the suggestion, Amara*. Unfortunately, we can't just but stuff up on the main McMaster page as MacInsiders isn't affiliated with the university. That being said, we've had to do some more creative advertising, ie street team-type stuff.

And we'll be out in full force during Clubsfest!

Thanks for the support Amara! As a student club our advertising is limited, we can put up posters on the designated bulletin boards around campus, but they are usually cluttered with tons of other stuff. Other options include:

1. The MSU's weekly e-mail listserve message which is distributed to over 10,000 students and community members,
2. Public service announcements on CFMU 93.3,
3. The Silhouette's weekly Info page,
4. Listing on the MSU's online events calendar

Of course we'll be trying each of those, but usually the best way to promote is word-of-mouth and during welcome week (Clubsfest) which we have to rely heavily on to bring in new members and awareness. We were very lucky to be mentioned in the Daily News!

As danielle said, we do not have permission to advertise on the McMaster's main website, nor do we have all the e-mails of first-year students so we can't send out messages. (Plus, it would be counted as 'spam' since those students never asked us to e-mail them).

Our best hope is to rely on members like yourself to help spread the word.. so tell your friends, post on Facebook, and let others know we exist

Yup, word of mouth stuff is of utmost importance!

SO...start telling other people! The MacInsiders team can only do so much...it looks a lot better if we have students from all years talking about the website.
