Hi Akula,

Mostly word of mouth - we are running an iPod promotion, some internet advertising, articles, blogs, press release etc.

Can you suggest anything else?

There is one sales staff and there is a small marketing budget.

What are you suggesting?

well...

with us, when building an active community we learnt a very important lesson early on

people wouldn't register on the site because there's no one on it, and when they did register they wouldn't use the site because no one else was registering

this was the catch 22 of community sites

at this time, we were doing what you're doing by sending out messages and trying to land one customer at a time

because of the catch 22, nothing was working

the suggestions I have are a lotion to this problem

do you feel this catch 22 is an issue for club intimate?

The issue you are referring to would be common to any new business, also known as chicken and egg issue.

It is however very early to say if Club Intimate would face the same problem, the site was only launched today.

So what is the solution that you are proposing?

That's cool, drop me a line, if you get this problem

if you don't have it, there's no point writing about it

Thanks n-james.

It appears that there is an issue with the UK branch (clubintimate.co.uk).

We will have this fixed today.
