Costco had a great deal on Sony printable media for a while -- 100 inkjet printable DVD's for $20 or $25. They have the Imation 50 pack online for $22. I usually use DVD-R because they've always been most compatible (but most of my work is video/film).
My background has been primarily film and video, with marketing for the last 10 years or so. I would be happy to help develop a marketing plan. I'll try to join the IRC chat on the 16th.
