To Do stuff in the SIG

**cgutzmer** · #1 04-30-2010, 07:21 PM

OK - I would like to know if anyone wants to be involved in any specific capacities - these will all likely promote our hobby somehow to the IPMS

I will try to be involved in many of these but will really need people to help head up the initiatives

SIG newsletter - possible name Pulp
SIG website design
SIG reviews
IPMS events announcer (you will watch the IPMS site and let us know when things come up )
SIG events coordinator
SIG Marketer (will find ways to make us more visible)
OTHER???? - what do you think would help the SIG?

I dont expect all these to get filled just kind of a general could use some people kinda help

Since I already do reviews for the IPMS website, I can contribute to the SIG as well.

I could try to be the events announcer as well.

Sweet - thanks Greg

If you could do reviews for IPMS about paper models and credit the SIG as the sponsor that would be great

reviews through the SIG will really help visibility

There was a mention in the other thread about a name for the newsletter, I thought "Then Cutting Mat" was pretty good.

**cgutzmer** · #5 05-01-2010, 07:06 AM

That is a good one! When we get around to working on a newsletter we will defintely revisit this

Was just thinking, and I don't know where this fits in, but what about group buys.

**Wyvern** · #7 05-01-2010, 09:56 AM

I'd be glad to head up the newsletter.

I always liked the thought of a newsletter called Tabs

I'll throw into a paper modelling newsletter a free scratchbuilt skyscraper model I'll make at some point although I'm rather slow at getting them designed and made, but freebies would be good. I'll have a word on skyscrapercity scale models message board about more free ones as lots of people generate some great models there.

Groovin - what are group buys? Can you explain please?

Thanks Wyvern!

Sounds cool pig

Thanks
Chris

Group buys are basically where a bunch of folks from a forum or SIG get together with a vendor and arrange to all purchase a particular item at a quantity discount. It takes some doing but can often drum up business for the vendor and provide savings for a bunch of people who all would like to purchase the same item.

I'm not sure it has an application in our hobby - but it might on some of the more popular/bigger kits - I've normally seen it done on some of my car enthusiast forums where a group buy on a particular aftermarket part is arranged and the vendor of that item agrees that if a certain minimum number of the item is purchased at once, they will offer a discount to all those involved. It is a nice way for vendors to give back to a community that supports them.
