Just got a little texty from old mate Jim.

Didn't realise my number was in his phone! Ha Ha

"Saturday Footy at the 'G. Demons v Dogs, 2.10pm tomorrow. See you there. Go Dees!

Opt Out STOP 0427417962..."

Is that Jim's number? I'm tempted to call it and have a chat to the old boy. Ha ha.

standard SMS = 20c

30,500x0.2=6k. I hope this is worth it!

30,630.

I'm sure they'd get a better deal. Besides not everyone of those members would have a mobile I wouldn't have thought.

They might also be able to determine via database of memberships being swiped at the gates of previous matches, who to contact ....ie no shows yet or those who have only attended 1-2 games. Might help reduce the cost. Not sure if this is the case though.....some others might be able to confirm this or not...?

edit: 1:51pm - just got Jimmy's text!

Bulk SMS advertising is not charged at 20c per text.

Usually you pay a bulk sum for a certain number of texts, as opposed to paying per text, and in the end it works out to be as cheap as 1c a text, depending on the volume sent.

Having said that, we may have only spent 40 cents, because I didn't get one? :lol:

in the last 5 years I would have missed max 2-3 home games and still got one, so cant see that being correct.

HT great potential cost saver though, maybe ask the club for 5% of the savings!

Yep, it's a lot cheaper by bulk. And nothing gets people to a game better than knowing that it's on, so it's probably going to work out as at least a break-even cash wise, and every extra number is worth a bit in AFL politics.

I haven't got one. In fact, I've never been SMS'd by the club. I guess they don't have my number then.

By the way, I like this comment in both the emails and the ad that we place every Friday in The Age:

"This weekend, the Demons return to our favourite time slot, Saturday afternoon at the MCG. The best way to ensure that we are fixtured to play more Saturday games is to come along to this game."

I know this has been stated in other posts, so i'll agree, being a 'bulk' sms it is MUCH cheaper than 20c per text. In fact, my old local football club which sends out texts to members, sends them from a program on the club computer and it costs them 1cent per text...

Therefore 30,500x0.01=$305 not a big hole in the pocket, especially if you can get an extra 200 people to the game to cover this cost... Pretty good investment i would've thought

I think that the MFC send their sms's from China or something like that, which only costs a couple of cents per message. It was most likely done from some sort of computer database & some sort of deal that does bulk messages very cheaply, because I don't think that Jim sat their putting in the mobile numbers of 30,000 melbourne supporters.

I was going to send him a text back asking if he wanted me to save him a seat!

I didn't get my sms from Jimmy but I'm going today anyway.

Due to fly to China next week on business. Perhaps I'll receive my sms when I arrive. :rolleyes:

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
