Cigar Geeks

Hi Folks.  I wanted to take a moment to introduce our new FB admin - Chuck (Cfickter.)  Chuck was nice enough to offer to help out with keeping the FB page a little more interesting.  Those of you who have followed it have noticed it stays pretty stagnant and Chuck is going to help out with that.  Thanks Chuck!

As part of his entry into the new role, he identified a need which he suggested might be good to put forth to the brotherhood in the form of a contest.  I think this is a great idea so here goes...

We need the creative graphics folks out there to help us with a new Cover Graphic.  We didn't have one previously and Chuck created a temporary one just so we have it.  I'd like to propose a contest where folks submit a cover graphic and we can put it to a vote to the rest of the brotherhood.

Some rules:
* Must include a CG logo (you can get them here: http://www.cigargeeks.com/images/source/logos/CigarGeeks_logo_large_raw.jpg or http://www.cigargeeks.com/images/source/logos/CigarGeek_logo_icon_square_180x180.jpg )
* Please incorporate the slogan "A Community of Cigar Fanatics".  
* The Admins have the right to make modifications to the winning entry to conform to the Geek desire for proper representation.

Some suggested image size guidance from FB: The dimensions of the image are 851 pixels wide and 315 high.  Minimum size is 399 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall.  File formats should be JPG or PNG.  Suggested file size is 100kb.

Post your entries here.  The winner will receive a 5er of sticks from me.  I'll decide what they are but I dont think you'll be disappointed. :-)

So please help me in welcoming Chuck to his new role.  We appreciate his willingness to help out there.  He knows a heck of lot more about this FB thing than me so feel free to reach out to him with any questions or suggestions.

-Paul

Way to step up Chuck.

Thanks for taking on the role, Chuck! :thumbsup:

sounds cool, didnt even know there was a FB page...and thanks Chuck for stepping up to help the community

Congrats Chuck! Good luck to those with the skills to enter the contest.

Sounds cool, I wish I was more creative

Thanks for stepping up, Chuck!

Good news, the FB page was a little bland

Congrats on the promotion, Chuck!  

I haven't been to our FB page in a loooong time . . . I didn't even know we had activity there anymore.  Maybe Chuck will bring some life to it.

Way to go Chuck! The Facebook page could see a bit more action for sure :-)

I was unaware that there was one.  I just found it though and a hilarious video of dads rapping.  Looking forward to see it grow!

Thanks Chuck
I was just thinking the other day that the FB page needed a little gas. If you ever need help with anything let me know I would be glad to help brother.

Thanks for all the support and for Paul letting me come on-board and helping our great community of fanatics.  I have done social media for my company along with a few other organizations I am involved with so I am excited about this opportunity.  But this is OUR Facebook page so any and all suggestions are welcome.  I see the FB page serving two major functions, first creating more awareness of the Cigar Geek website helping  driving new members and greater participation.  Second is to serve existing members by posting information on some of news about what is going on at cigargeeks.com and in the industry.  I hope to post about twice a week.  If you are on FB and haven’t “Liked” our page I encourage you to do so.  You can also help by getting others to our page by inviting your friends who are fellow cigar lovers to the page.

Didn't know about the page. Going to have to check it out.

Thanks for helping out, Chuck!

It might be better to set up an invite only group instead of a public FB page so that we can limit access to members for the pics we share etc...

great job Chuck!

Are you afraid stuff like this might go viral and give us a bad name?  :shades:

I should have dug the funk out of my navel, huh?
:confused:

Very cool Chuck!  Thanks for taking it on.

Way to go Chuck.

Congrats Chuck and have fun with the FB.  And John, thanks for sharing that youtube video, that is interesting and something I never thought about.

No takers on the Graphic contest?

Wish I could help, but I have absolutely no graphic design skills.

I have a friend who's really good with this stuff; that said that he could help. But when depended on his load at work, so I'm a bit unclear on that...

Didn't know there was a FB page for CG. Guess I'll chk it out.

I am sorry to report that I have yet to receive anything from my friends, I don't want to push him as he is a busy guy.

Just stick this guys pic up! That should be impressive enough! :biggrin:
