Are we doomed?

I don't do Faceache either

never had a Facetwitt account either

I 'Do' Facebook (and to a much lesser extent Twitter), but personally use each system in a different way.  I very rarely use Facebook for 'Caravan And Motorhome Club' contact - CT being my preferred access.  For me FB is primarily for keeping in contact with family and friends.  Twitter, I tend to use for wider musical/choral connections.

There are certainly no plans to ditch CT, and I know Rowena and Graham see it as yet another way of keeping in contact with members and other caravanners/ motorhomers.  I know there are a proportion of people on here who do not use Facebook or other forms of social media and who would miss CT would it not be here.  I think the Club is trying to provide different methods of 'social media' for it's members so as to reach as many people as possible.  In making different avenues of contact open for people perhaps it has to divide its rescources?  The Club are certainly committed to keeping CT as one of those avenues.

 I think you'll find the official view differs in the recent CAMC interview below.

http://www.caravantimes.co.uk/news/clubs/caravan-club/interview-exclusive-with-camcs-head-of-communications-and-events-$21387953.htm?source=newsletter

 

It is quite clear that The Club invest heavily in listening to their members, how can members communicate with you so they are heard?

It's really important for us to listen to our members to hear about what they want and need from us. We have our Club Together forum with over 400k registered users, our social platforms are a great way for members and future members to interact with us, we carry out regular research and surveys with our members to hear from them - first-hand - about their views. Our Magazine is also a great source of information for members. And, most importantly, we act upon this information we receive. 

I think you’re fairly new to CT, Via. Words and deeds are two different things and most of us know not to believe all that we read. Again, though, has that interview been published on this site? Maybe it has but I’ve not seen it.

It's noticeable, though, that CT users have been kept updated with some site info since this thread started.

TW - I just thought it was an interesting juxtaposition to the comments on this thread. Coming from the Head of Communications infers that it is factual, which it may be. As for 400K plus registered users .....now is that a user or someone who is just registered?

I've been a registered user for several years reading threads but only recently an active user. 

 

 

So if 390,000 registered CTer's are like you via, don't post but read threads, then thats still a big captive audience for the club and would be worth more effort and input 

I think it is more like 40 users out of the 40k registered.

But I could be wrong, it may be less!

I think the problem is that staff reply, and then the information you've been given in that reply seems to be at odds with 'real information'.  For example there is a thread about Red Pennant.  Rowena has replied to suggest that the 'Home to Home' condition of the policy can be varied if you want to start cover from the day you leave the UK.  But then someone speaking to the Red Pennant team was told categorically that this is not the case.

'Reading' a thread obviously isn't counted in 'activity' as the number of views.  Threads often have more posts than views!!  This thread, for example, has 79 posts, but only 48 views!  So it doesn't matter how many people are reading, unless new topics are started it might appear that there is little activity.  

So, anyone got any ideas for new topics????
