Re: [AGA-mcm] Input from stores

Hi David,

 

I saw Paul's response before I saw that I'd missed this post.  As I said to Paul, I try very hard to keep include articles that I think will be interesting to beginners. However, I can't print what I don't get. 

 

There is one person who has sent me a number of low-tech articles, and the problem is that the are so full of factual mis-information that I can't use them.  I would LOVE someone to take this on.

Subject: [AGA-mcm] Input from stores

Over the past few months I have been giving retail stores I sell to copies of TAG, and flyers, and tried to get them to sign up some new members for us. The response has been, as we are well aware, underwhelming. I've sat down and chatted with a few of the guys I know best, and they have all had the same reaction. The magazine is very nice and well done, but the articles are too technical. They all said that they think it would go over better if there were some simple helpful hints for beginners -- that the vast majority of hobbyists who frequent retail stores just want to be able to keep a few plants alive in a tank with fish. Sotat's what I'm doing. Thweir comments are pretty well justified, and I think we need to decide if we do want to go after the newbies out there or keep concentrating on the advanced plantkeepers.

I throw this out for any discussion that might preove fruitful.

David
