Reddit - Ask me Anything (AMA)

[mclaincausey]

That's a great question. Personally I would be aggressive with it, because it's good for customers and prospects to have a chance to learn more about IH. Thanks for doing this!

[Giles]

Thanks to you and snowy for keeping the pressure up on me to get off my arse and do it.  I think that it'll be bloody hard work for the hours we are doing it, but I suspect extremely beneficial.  reddit already is our second highest referrer, but we don't figure nearly as high enough on their radar as I would like to….Time to change that.

[mclaincausey]

It will be a ton of work, no question, and I suspect there will be lingering work after the AMA (new forum members and sales/sales inquiries perhaps!). I'm not sure how I could help, but if you think of something I can help with let me know.

[mclaincausey]

Ah, also I think they will "sticky" the AMA in the rawdenim subreddit, I'd try to make sure they do. They did it with Kyle from TFH's AMA so why not?

[Giles]

I think that they will.  The /r/rawdenim admin has been brilliantly helpful and enthusiastic. He will start promoting it tomorrow I believe.

[mclaincausey]

I knew they would, so happy to hear that!

Thanks mcl, not sure either.  I'll probably think of a million things I need help with, too late…..

I'm just going to keep asking about when Spring 14 products will be released. I think I know the answer already…

I don't see any harm send out a message on FB/Twitter before the AMA letting all know it's happening. A bit like letting us know here.

The AMA is a bit like Uncle Giles arranging a lovely evening of stories around the campfire, filled with audience participation and co-creation. Many will enjoy turning up just to heard (in this case read) how it transpires. Forums are a little less times/dates/reply expectations uncertain.

Ah, here's the announcement, pinned to the rawdenim subreddit. I can tell the moderator is very excited by his comments, this is terrific.

I'm assuming that those that aren't able to participate live can go back and read through it at their convenience?

I don't spend any time on reddit, and am not familiar with how AMAs work.

[mclaincausey]

This is a correct assumption, and membership isn't required in order to do so. I or someone else will undoubtedly post a link to the AMA when it is live.

[seanocono]

Thanks for making it easy, MCL.

[seawolf]

Good luck G! Should be interesting.

All the best G-San. Most definitely a good thing all around for the business and also the brand as a whole.
