Jim,
Thanks for the support on that part, I like that idea as well...
Brett,
Appreciate the charts that confirm what we have been suspecting. You know I think we need to find our niche and do the best we can with it. It reminds me of when the big box stores rolled into Cache Valley and a local appliance store could see the writing on the wall that the box stores would end up being able to sell appliances a lot cheaper than the small local retailer could. So they focused on repairs and service calls... Turned out to be a great call for them, they are busier than ever, increased employment and pivoted well... I think BFT has always been the educational type site where you can come and learn how to be better at fishing, where FB seems to be more of a look at me site showing off the catch, but not offering much help on how to do the same thing... Maybe that's just my take, but seems like if you ever ask a question of FB you get ridiculed or some kind of snarky answer.. So I think we need to exploit our strengths and make the best of them.. Maybe tying the contest into a partnership with local retailers might help us increase membership and they will see what BFT offers when they come for the contest... Just a thought... Later J
