My sugesstion is to always have some ProwlerOnline business cards handy to either hand out or leave on windshields.

The cards that I bought for the Woodward Cruise cost $23.00 for 500. Shipping will add another $5.00 and the artwork is onfile at C&D Typesetting in Riverside, CA. Call Diane Skillman at 909-353-9772 if you wish to order.

When making posts and doing cruises, we need to remember that we are just a small faction of the Prowler Owners. There are many people that are hungry for information and friendships much like what we have found here. Maybe it's time to really put a push into a recuitment drive.

I imagine they are having a great time with their cars, when they do drive them.

What can we do to find them?
Just through friends or casual meetings is probably the best way.

Have you flagged down a Prowler lately ?
Why? Just case they have a car doen't mean they want to be in a club with it. I've owned 3 Porsche's and never had any desire to join a porsche club. I also never joined the PPC.

Followed one home ?
I'd say don't do that. Especially in states with concealed permits....enough said.

How fast can we double our numbers?
Do the numbers really matter? Isn't the friendship and fun what it's about? Would anyone be happier with 500 members versus 300? I tend to not like large crowds myself. If given the option of going to a party with 1000 prowler owners versus meeting with 3-4 of them, I'd choose the smaller setting every time.
That's just my views on this. Enjoy.

It could be that many of the "un-registered" are like me. They might think "clubs" are for the aficionado or the hard-core "hot-rodder". I of course found that this is so, but I also found out that everyone if nice, friendly, helpful, informative, fun, and welcoming!!!!

Perhaps if we do any "outreach" we should stress that the club also promotes cruises, local/regional get togethers, picnics, charitable fund raisers, etc. etc.

Just my thoughts!
Happy "Catin'Around!"

Could you post a image of the cards you are talking about. I never got to see them and might be interested in buying some.

Thanks

There is only about a 60% saturation in U.S./Canada on computer ownership. I don't know the percentages of those with computers who are not online, particularly regular late-night junkies who make up this forum. My guess is that the number of owners who don't make it all the way up to internet participation may be quite high. You've got to have 1. A computer, 2. An ISP, 3. An interest or curiosity in finding someone with Prowler interests on the web, 4. A routine that allows repeat visits to this site, etc.
The gap narrows pretty quickly with these factors figured in. Not everyone who drives a Prowler meets the remaining criteria necessary to get this far on the web.

Send me a fax number and I'll fax you a copy or just call Diane and have her fax a proof with your name and info on it to you. There's no charge for the proof and if you like it you just sign it and give her your credit card number. You should have your cards in about a week.
