When I say can it build community, I mean will it be pleasing to the membership and make them more loyal or more active. I received an email from Mike about an idea he is trying out on his forum. You wouldn’t think a coloring book would work on a site full of car guys, but I think it will work just fine!

I came up with this all by myself….for better or worse.

Z28 Coloring Book

That page is still “pre-release”, but it is far enough along to give you the idea of what it is about.

I may be a worthwhile addition to other hobbyist sorts of forums because:

- it involves the members (the photos of the cars all belong to members)
- it provides them with a tangible benefit of membership
- it gives them something for their kids to do
- it promotes the site

He goes on to explain that he had someone do the drawings for him and that he found this person through Guru. What a creative and inexpensive idea to offer a tangible benefit to your membership and create more loyalty!
