Archival articles, photos still available on former site.
New
CFA Website Up and Running
www.circusfans.org
A
new, more interactive, more colorful and exciting website for the Circus Fans
Association of America is now online at www.circusfans.org.
With
links to traditional CFA online news, features, and animal alerts, the new site
will offer expanded coverage of the Circus Fans’ activities and circus-industry
news.
“We
have to move forward to appeal to today’s increasingly sophisticated web
audiences as well as new prospective members for CFA while keeping our current
members and friends fully informed and engaged,” said President Gary Payne.
He
said that the new site, which is still being developed and fine-tuned, is an
important, upgraded tool for membership recruitment and retention, supporting
the circus industry, and posting alerts about potentially harmful legislation
and other conditions impacting circuses and traveling shows.
“With
our excellent magazine The White Tops
and other publications and outreach being planned, our marketing strategy will
have greater capability and flexibility than in the past,” he said. “The CFA
brand will be more inclusive and appealing than ever.”
CFA
website developer Cindy Pagel noted that links to the former Circus Fans
website are provided on the new site, and that members and visitors can still
access archival articles, photos, and features that have kept CFA’s online
audience engaged for over a decade. She thanked everyone for their input and
patience as the new site found its look, message, and technical capability.
She
said that ideas for enhancing CFA’s online presence are always welcome, and
that because technology is constantly evolving, new features for the site are
to be expected. “It’s still a work in progress,” she noted. “Building on the
best traditions of the old site while moving beyond its limitations has been
time-consuming, but the results will be attractive and influential for CFA and
our many circus friends as well.”
