JERICHO SAVED!

WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING DONATIONS

Our Stars and Stripes program is clearly not generating the level of financial support that we need to make a commitment today (print ad would have been due today). I truly believe that this was/is a good avenue for our campaign, but we are not going to be able to reach our goal at this point because there simply is not enough time left!

What I want to propose is this:

1. That we cancel the S & S print ad, but proceed with an ad on the Stripes.Com website. Amy has done a mock up of what this ad would look like - you can check it out:

...this would cost us $20/m impressions or 2 cents each. They require a minimum purchase of 20,000 impressions or $500. We would get paced at the top of the square ads on the right side of the page - currently occupied by Pentagon Federal Credit Union.

2. That we channel the rest of the money collected for Stars and Stripes to the internet ad fund to continue with the Google Adwords, banners as well as other options currently being explored. We would have to ask the Stars and Stripes donors directly (I will e-mail) if this is ok.

3. That we focus advertising fund-raising on the internet campaign unless one of the other proposals that other members are working on appear viable. I would change the PayPal link to reflect that the donation is for the Save Jericho Paid Advertising Fund and not directly linked to one specific project.

4. That the residual funds from the Variety/Hollywood Reporter campaign be added to the Save Jericho Paid Advertising Fund.

Please provide feedback as soon as possible.
