Good one Zane.

Count me in for $25 too.
I do think that we should support adverts for the SFD in the Press.
Glad to see that someone else was proud to see FOSS in major print. Am
considering a switch to / mix with The Star, nonetheless - a wider audience?
[Thanks for those suggestions of ad avenues today Paul & Chevy.]
But not in some random place but rather in the technology pages as that
is where our demographic is likely to be reading.
Yes, 1st option, dang near bought. This has got a reporter along and a
small write-up the following week, in the past.
Just putting an advert in some random place in the paper eg in the
fashion section or the sports section is going to be a monumental waste
of money.
'Run-of-paper' is better than that - if not A then B section, near to
front as possible. I think we got an A3? - Not even C-J.
my 2c (or $25 (-: )
Zane
Thanks!

I agree.
Some posters put up around the place and flyers would have just as
much impact. ~$20 can go a long way.
Who is the target market?
Everyone (using PCs).
There must be better ways we can get to the limited number of people
that come to these things.
Well, the big paper ads mean approx 90-120,000 copies go out in one day.
Hard to beat.
But we've polled visitors. The range of advertising means all draw in
some each, adding up to bigger totals. Hardly cost efficient, but some
SFDers have made their way thru to CLUG (= some benefit already).
10c
= 1 x A4 photocopy.
Cheers Don
How about a pledge system? Rik needs $300-400 - say $350.00 (don't
forget he is feeding in other money too).
How about we aim to contribute up to half of the $350.00 from CLUG
funds and half from pledges, dollar for dollar. So if we get $175 in
pledges CLUG contributes $175, and the target is met. If we get $200
in pledges CLUG contributes $150 to make up to the target. If we only
get $100 in pledges CLUG only contributes the same, ie $100.
I'll start by pledging $25.00, and I 'll fix up a page on the wiki for
pledges to be recorded, once a couple of other people have supported
the idea.
