Hi Guys,

I believe I have been introduced to most of you through one form or another.

I am DTD's new marketing assistant and am looking to encourage players of all standard to join the club.

One of the projects we are looking at at the moment is boosting the Club's awareness.

As a start I have began to look at the TripAdvisor page for the club and give it a facelift.

We would all really appreciate it if players who have visited the club could give good, honest reviews about their experiences.

Thanks,
Glenn

Maybe you should looking into having brand ambassadors in city away from Nottingham,

Sheffield, leeds, hull, manchester, Liverpool so on


They would be in charge of talking to players in there city and telling  people what's on at the club, could also drive people to playing online at DTD!   All it take is them to wear a t- shirt! Maybe they could give out codes so if they sign up to the site you know where it's come from!!

Shot gun do leeds

Teesside!

What about the same for in club sign ups also. Eg if someone is "referred" to the club then the person who refers them  may get some sort of bonus when they next come the club. Free meal etc. or after 10 referrals a tournament buy in etc?

Maybe a mini buss service might help say from Leeds Sheffield derby ext with a small charge to cover cost might attract more

Just a thought I always hear people wanting to go dtd but no transport

Done.

My first & last visit ever to TripAdvisor.

What?!  That's a great site if you don't know where to go when you reach a new city.  It's like google for travellers, but BETTER!  Read the reviews (taken with a pinch of salt) and you're good to go anywhere in the world.  It's saved me from booking some dodgy restaurants, B&B's and Hotels that looked pretty online, but turned out to have all sorts of problems.  It's also helped me find some right little gems I never would've considered otherwise. 

That said, I've never left a review myself, which is bad form considering how often I use the site.  Suppose today's as good a day as any.

Thanks to those that have contributed and for the kind words.

I will be looking at some of the other suggestions in the coming months and we always welcome feedback/ideas from players.

Thanks,
Glenn.

I have never actually been to DTD so cannot comment unfortunately.

I woud say that you should be more interactive with the reviews left, especially the bad ones. I think it shows that you listen to the customers and will improve service if needed.

Posted.  GL with it.  Also agree that you should try and respond to the negative comments too.

Hi guys,

The negative reviews are over a year old so I don't want to back peddle that far.

Plan is to move forward so if anything crops up one of us will look at it and respond.

Feedback appreciated,
Glenn.

yeah good point, didnt notice that

Left a lengthy very positive review sometime back "Hungryman" London... GL

It's probably wise to get people to drip feed over a period of time. A lot of people will be suspicious if there is a bunch of new review over a few days.

Thought it was Carslberg not Carling or am I being whooshed :)

Shameless bump.

We are now 11th best tourist attraction in Nottingham. (ranked by TripAdvisor)

To be able to use the 'One of the top ten things to do in Nottingham' would be fantastic.

Will also be looking at some of the other suggestions over the coming months.

Thanks for all input so far,
Glenn.

Wona get it sorted for google+ and such also. Only 2 star review as of yesterday

Hi Tommy,

Added to my job list.  :)up

Thanks for the heads up.

Glenn

Just thinking out loud...

how about some kind of freeroll / learn to play poker fun event/ in a sort of "open night for Nottingham"?
 Encourage those who are interested/curious/nervous about the poker world , but are too afraid to go there!
Maybe one section of the club, one evening....so members could bring a newbie friend  :)

Only new sign ups on the night:
Learn to play!
freeroll comp
nibbles/drinks maybe?!
free online voucher
etc

I dont know what sort of budget you have but one thing id suggest doing is door to door leafleting in the local area. You can use either Royal Mail, Dor-2-Dor, TNT and that way you can look at getting anything between 10,000-100,000 doors leafleated in a very short space of time (if you use the Royal Mail it would be done within 5 days) and you could put on a "new members/welcome evening" on one of your quiet nights and offer a free-roll and some free food & drink and also a competition where a winner wins a holiday as that would guaranteed to get people in and thats when you put on the charm offensive.

Hi Guys,

Bringing this back up the agenda after the Grand Prix promo has finished. Thanks for all the feedback we always welcome ideas from players.

Thanks for anyone who has kindly reviewed. Now 9th best attraction in Nottingham and top 10 was the aim :)

We're putting together a long term structure which will help stability and getting new players in. I'm now working on google+ and improving our awareness through other platforms, even youtube.

Also we've been nominated BEST UK CARDROOM at The British Poker Awards: http://www.thebritishpokerawards.com/ (Shameless plug)

I will be floating some idea of different ways to help DTD get 'viral' as it were. Especially during our bigger events.

Thanks again for the support.

Glenn

In case any of you haven't poked your head through the curtain or peeked through the blinds.

The Trickett Room is finished and here are a few snaps.
