No they can’t. The track shop doesn’t have any coats or caps this year. One of the worst stocked track shops I’ve seen Edited August 11, 2019 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the worst stocked track shops I’ve seen I've always quite liked the team jackets and I'm surprised they don't sell at the track shop. Looks like the track shop is as about as good as the web site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would guess the majority of the younger audience, who the club are trying to attract, use social media like facebook. I must admit, I am on facebook, but very rarely use it, but I know it's a staple of most young people. Most youngsters I know use Instagram and snapchat, Facebook has become an oldies format, but by using Facebook you are only preaching to those who have befriended you on Facebook. How does Facebook reach the out to the public at large in this scenario 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably more to do with them not wanting to heavily invest in expensive jackets they may be stuck with at the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They all have a place in promoting a business, but by no means are they individually the only way. If I have a new product, I use Facebook in the knowledge it is only going to my friends on Facebook in the hope they will also share with their friends. It has had a modicum of success, word of mouth when you are a local business is the most successful, especially if you provide a service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
