** WATERCOOLING WORKSHOP - ANY INTEREST? **

Possible idea for you would be, to offer Promotional Discount on the back of the Workshop/Live Stream. Something like 5% off all WC products for say 7-14 Days After.

Saves people a little money, and mite encourage those who tempted to try watercooling to "bite the bullet" and order. And in return OCUK actuall mite also gain from higher order volumes and in return.. they might actually pay you overtime for hosting such workshops in future :)

I have some deal propositions lined up that i will be presenting to management.

currently speaking with my key vendors for support on this.

Realistically, I want to offer exclusive deals and discounts to attendees. whilst it would be something to offer to every customer in the future, the initial few workshops are where I really want to treat the attendees as special.

There are people talking about coming from London to hear me rabble on about water cooling for a few hours. These are the people that deserve exclusive discounts etc.

not to say that there wont be discounts available for forum members also, but the attendees in my eyes should get special treatment in the form of goodie bags and a few bits and pieces to show our appreciation for being a part of this. That way we will build demand for spaces at each event and each workshop will fill up the spaces quickly each time I announce a date on the forums.
 
You could sell special deal bundles, all the piping, coloured coolant, connectors, rads, fans, pump and res for a special low price to attendees only. Then maybe off the same bundles for a slightly less price than OCUK shop for forum registered purchasers, with specific forum criteria, such as post count, join date etc.
 
Like the idea of this. I've finished my current version of my watercooled PC (although already planning for other bits to be added).

What would have helped me is if I could have brought my PC in, bought a load of parts from the store & then assembled the loop etc.. with help & feedback from yourselves etc..

Now an Overclocking how-to session... that'd be sweet! ;)

the plan is to develop this format if it proves successful.

8Pack seems pretty enthusiastic about offering a service like this also. so overclocking sessions are potentially on the cards too.

we need to find a balance between the frequency we offer the workshop and the demand for them.

once we I get the go ahead to proceed and an opportunity to have some meetings with the people who will be involved in assisting me make this happen, then I will be straight on the forums organising this all.

to give everyone an equal opportunity to register themselves as attendees, I will do a notification thread in this section stating the time I will post a new thread with all of the details in. that way people will be prepared to get on the forum and grab themselves a place :)
 
I think you should make it a little more exclusive than a weekly affair.

It wouldn't be seen as something special then. Just the norm.

its not going to be weekly :confused: what gave you that impression.

Im certainly not going to be coming in on my day off every week :p
 
I would also be up for this. In addition, I would also be interested in a "MOT," "Service" or even "Pimp" my machine. Where you bring your PC into a workshop. A masterclass at overclocking, or seeing how to improve your PC's performance and/or aesthetics e.g leds, airflow etc...

With regards to those that live some distance, then you could ring round local hotels and offer an accommodation package as well. Could then become a birthday/xmas present offering as well.

I would be happy to pay/contribute for such a workshop and from a marketing point of view this could be a bonus and further differentiate your services from your competitors and cement your position as a customer centric organisation.

From a strategic point of view this should sit quite well with the higher hierarchy as it would (should) lead to further sales from the workshops.
 
Great idea Rich!

If I may make a suggestion: you should take this on tour for those who can't make it to OcUK. You should take OcUK to them! :P
