El Presidente Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I have toyed with this for some time. Come Monday/Weekend I will arrange a re-configuration of the forums (apologies for the delay) and add one more. In Alphabetical order, I will post a forum for individual members businesses. Each member is eligible subect to a minimum of 50 posts on FOH. The "Why" ....to help out members globally when they need to get things done. How much business is done in your neghbourhood/state and those members are not aware you are in the trade? If it gains you one to two contracts a year for you, let us celebrate the fact. All things being even,let us help each other.
adic88 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Interesting, so a forum where active selling/buying is allowed? For anything but cigars?
aavkk Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I'm reading this more as a way to build contacts/referrals rather than simply selling a product. I came to know another member on this board and found out that he and I are in the same business but this separate sub forum would have saved quite a bit of time. This is a great idea Rob, but I suspect your "toying with the idea" means you realize it will probably need policing.

Guest rob Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Its great news like this that makes me wish my business was not limited to my local area.

Vetteman Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Cool! My hook...ah...female associates are really looking forward to this.
rfenst Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I doubt that most members will gain business from his, but the advice and insight could prove priceless. Great idea!!!
beamer Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Interesting idea. Could really benefit the community. Thanks.
Kangaroo495 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 So who's looking for real estate in Russia...? Will throw in a free rocket launcher with every light industrial complex purchase. Stocks limited. Brilliant idea Rob! Good luck with it! Will be following it keenly.
benjaminbbush Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Great idea Rob! Without this no one would have ever known there were Jar Jar dolls out there!!!
Dbone Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Nice Prez. We do live in a global economy, networking like this could prove beneficial to many. I'm in a warranty dispute with a customer in Keswick, South Australia LOL I need representation Cheers Rob.
Habanakane21 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Great idea! it's no Shoo-away but pretty damn close
El Presidente Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 Cheers fella's I know from our own business we give members as much business as we can. Legal, accounting, printing, web design, electrical, plumbing. When we need something we ask ourselves "is there a member in the field" and try to use them where possible. Karma. Not difficult at all.
davidl Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Sounds great. I am interested to see how this actually turns out.
ZinZan Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Thats a brilliant idea Prez, considering the members of this forum is from every part of the globe
gsmoke Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 As a professional producer and promoter of web content, who would love to potentially offer my skills to my cigar passion, I'm excited about this development. Thanks for setting it up, and I promise not to abuse it.
PigFish Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 There is a certain amount of networking going on any hobby site like this one. While I am not going to call it a stroke of genius what I will say is that it is a generous offering. Rob, I think that you should consider some language at the header so that you don't find yourself doing customer service work for that of another. We also might want to make sure that if a deal goes bad it does not bleed into the forum. Just a little food for thought. I have been considering a couple of cigar related business, one of which is climate controlled humidors. I would love to use the service if that becomes a reality for me. Thanks for the generous offer mate. -R
