Boulder Bike Friday Club Ride: 2/1/09   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #39 of 56 |
Bike Friday's Lynette Chiang is planning to visit us!

 
Boulder Folders,
 
Since it is full of links and other fun stuff, I am going to forward Lynette's email about her potential visit to Boulder and Denver. Have a look (below) and enjoy the links.
 
Thanks,
Jeff
 
=============================
++++++++ Lynette's email +++++++++
=============================
 
I'm organizing my schedule for March, and was discussing the idea of doing a BF Event i.e.

and/or
- BF FilmFest like this:  http://www.galfromdownunder.com/talks
and/or
- BF Dealer show (movie clip):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdqFySMY66I

in Denver and/or Boulder.  I haven't been to Colorado yet - I've been wanting to forever!

Would this be of interest to you folks? If so, read on... 

The schedule would be as follows: 

March 7-15 - Arizona BF Desert Camp http://www.bikefriday.com/desertcamp
--> March 15-? - Denver/Boulder --- depending on availability of BF hosts
-->March ? - 2 - Eugene --- I'll leave before you throw me out :o)
April 2 -  back to NYC

An ideal event would be as follows:  meet at the BF Dealer shop for a social Bike Friday club ride, return to watch my BF Film Fest and/or BF demo at the Bike Shop. I just need access to a Powerpoint projector and screen. Here's what my BF Film Fest looks like:

If the BF Dealer is not workable as a venue (and it would have to be a closet to not work), a Film Fest can be done at a local Bike Club, REI, Apple Store.

We promote a typical event with an email blast to your area - here's the one we did for our dealer Rapid Transit Cycles in Chicago:

and with a poster like this:

After, we make a report like this one for the San Francisco 08 visit:

And update the dealer page like this:

We've found that dealers we launch in this way tend to be more successful for the exposure and bonding with the local BF community. 

4 SIMPLE THINGS CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN... 

1. A place to stay for a low maintenance Customer Evangelist (with internet connection)
2. A venue and date for the FilmFest (BF dealer shop or REI etc) 
AND/OR
3. A BF Club ride organized - same or different day as the Film Fest
4. Powerpoint projector and screen for the films. 

If all the above sounds possible, please let me know ASAP - I just discovered right now I can book a ticket on Orbitz that goes from NYC - Tucson - Denver - Eugene - NYC spanning March 6-April 2 -- all for $589! 

Cheers,

Lynette Chiang

Jeff, University Bikes is my favorite local store but I have a feeling they wouldn't be interested in a lower volume bike like BF. I think the REI meeting room...
