We need an honest, grassroots effort for this fanbase and we need to get clever to incentivize donations. We have thousands of very passionate fans, but most fans don't have deep pockets right now to donate without getting something in return.
The Beer and Coffee was a great idea. The fanbase doesn't view it as an inconvenience or a chore for the collective. It's a change in habit, but we feel it is a fair trade (because the beer is good).
Some ideas:
4. Focus on what we can accomplish, not what others are doing. We get it; We aren't Texas A&M. Some fans have felt discouraged from donating because "What's the point? We'll never be them so why even try."
I agree whole heartedly. Discouraging just to continually hear we suck at it.
Starting new job Monday! I'll get on the train shortly
