Thanks Tim for the response, it is good to know that the messages get read amongst the cross forum adverts......
The other side of the arguement regarding the 'selective testimonials' is the fact that reading them suggests that I will be able to save up to 50% on my premium by changing to yourselves! (I use 'up to' in the same context as the 'upto' £54.85 for Halfords M.O.T.! they are only £27.42 when booked online) I look forward to my £150/ year policy come July
(sorry Gary you need to work hard this year) I bet I don't save anywhere near those figures....
I guess, that your position is one of advertising and client recruitment via advertisment, mainly from car forums? Its easy to see the generic layout style of adverts dating back to at least 2012 across some of the more Subaru related forums alone..... If you take the time to look, you will see the real results from people obtaining quotes from yourselves is very different to those of the testimonials that you place within the forums..! but then we all know the reality will be that you cannot please everyone and that each and everyone of us will have circumstances specific to us and as such no quote or policy will be the same....
Its not like the advertisment / testimonials are specific to the forum needs? why would I be interested in how much I could save if I brought an Ibiza, Hyundai coupe, Renault Clio (just some mentioned on here already)...... i'm more interested in savings and specific policy for the Subaru mark
Sorry if this comes over as negative towards yourself or prestige, its not meant to be! Its just I have seen endless amounts of the same posts across numerous forums and since starting to look back on here I am begining to see yet more of the same! It comes across more as 'spam' than anything else....(perhaps thats advertising for you?) I hate those poxy meerkats too and as for go-compare!!! aaarrrggghhhhhh (perhaps i'm getting old?)
You would be far better off getting Gary headhunted if your after subaru enthusiasts
He handles the forum side of things, attends meets / events, deals with quotes and renewals and everything else......ok, this does sometimes make him hard to get hold of but! given just what he contributes to the whole scene, its very much something 'most' will make allowance for.
Perhaps a poll is in order to see if people like the generic type posts within the main forums or maybe a seperate forum area would be better?
Again,,,, happy for any of my posts to be moderated accordingly if any offence has been taken / caused
