The 'Owner Member’ Membership Scheme
For basic membership at £10.00 per year, members can join the club as an 'Owner Member' and receive
additional benefits which include the discounts and special deals our Sponsors
offer.
One of the main attractions for an Focus RS Owner to join as an Owner Member are
the features and discounts available. The need to have active sponsors on board
offering new deals and advertising new products is crucial for the benefit of
both the member as well as the sponsor.
As an addition to the Membership Scheme we have a 'Collective' membership which
allows none RS owners contribute to the club and enjoy the discounts available.
How do I become a Sponsor?
There is currently only one option available with the Sponsorship Scheme... this
is advertisement at its best!
It can cost over £300 for a page advert in a magazine for one month alone, and
how many of those readers are actually interested in your product/service?
The Sponsorship Scheme is directed to over 1,500 members who are all interested
in products/services for their Focus RS.
£300 per year for FocusRSOC.com (Focus RS Owners Club)
Payment for either option will be made to the Network’s Bank Account via Cheque
or BACS in full in advance before any account is setup.
So what do we get in return?
This will entitle you to become a recognised Club “Sponsor” and you will receive
the following features:
1. Forum User Account – “Sponsor” Status (Orange in
Colour)
2. Your Own Forum Section, under the Sponsors Category with Banner
linking to your website, self moderation ability (Delete, Pin, Lock, Edit posts)
and freedom to post as and when you want. This will create a focal point for
members to find out about you and any new products you wish to advertise. The
Forum section is viewable by the public, meaning more advertisement of your
company and products.
3. A ‘still’ or ‘flash’ banner at the top of the Forum (random scrolling
to include every Sponsor). 400x60 pixels. To be supplied by the Sponsor.
4. Opportunity to use our Group Buy and Special Deals Forums to support
the organisation of any group buys you wish to start.
5. Both clubs use "Search Engine Friendly" links, which means as your
post about your products/services, Google and other search engines will list
your information, providing you with yet more advertisement!
6. Classifieds System, This system will allow you to sell your products
through the club direct to members, effectively meaning you've just gained a
second online shop!! (Please note this feature is current under testing and is
not yet active, exact features and any additional costs per sale to be
confirmed).
Conclusion
We must highlight the importance of the sponsor remaining active on the forums
and taking advantage of the direct marketing opportunities by interacting with
our members, posting special offers or informing them of new products/services.
If you wish to become a Sponsor then please email us or use the "Contact Us"
system and we will be in touch to set up your Sponsors account and send through
the agreement form.
Thank you for your time to consider our new Sponsorship Scheme, I look forward
to hearing from you soon.
