When I was in high school, I ran an animation club with others. Although it failed, I can give you some suggestions as a reference:
First of all, it doesn’t have to be COS, because after all It requires a lot of funds and a good emotional foundation among the members, so you can take your time
——Before being allowed to establish a society, you must first have an organizational structure. In addition to the president and vice president, you must also have The best person to manage money is yourself.
Separate the event planning department, capital planning department, original painting department, copy department, peripheral department, fan department, script department, comics department, etc. You don’t need too much at first, it depends on the situation. This makes it easier to plan activities and manage members.
——Propaganda must be in place, put up posters in and around the school, put up many posters, and subsidize them frequently. Animation stores, CD stores, peripheral stores, etc. are all good places for publicity. Just add publicity in magazines and on the Internet. Create a group to facilitate contact.
——Then there is funds. It is important not to collect social fees even if there is no funds. You can only collect social fees unless there are more people in the society, and it cannot be too many. Especially the initial members have already invested a lot of time, energy and money in helping to establish the club. It would be unjustifiable to collect community fees.
You can regularly collect paintings and peripherals and sell them to nearby stores with good connections. The price should not be too high, and the public’s affordability should be taken into consideration. The author and the society share a share. The author's share can be smaller at first, and the author's share can be increased after the society starts to operate smoothly. Organize appropriate exhibitions, publicity and sales. Also, submitting articles to comic magazines is an effective way to increase the club's visibility and income.
——Event planning must have regular, non-revenue activities, such as animation exchange meetings, which must cultivate everyone’s feelings. After all, the purpose of the club is to love anime, so it shouldn't be too utilitarian, and it must also have profitable activities. Think more about it yourself, it all depends on your ability. Think more about activities that are beneficial to members.
I just thought about these points for the time being, I hope they can help.
