That is a good idea, but i dont have any children yet, and i am not sure about how i would be recieved at the PTA seeing that fact. One thing i am sponsoring is a Charity Car Cruise for Roswell Cancer Institute. It is one of the top Cancer research hospitals in the united states, I also may be sponsoring a golf hole for the local Gollisano Childrens Hospital golf tournament. It is held at Oak Hill (where the masters was this last summer), and there are a couple hundred really prominent citizens invited to participate in hopes of generating donations. I will have donated a large sum of money, but it is for a good cause so i dont really mind doing it.
The post cards i have already figured out. I am having them printed 3 to a page at 6x4" full color front, black back, on 10pt Glossy coated front paper. Real high quality paper, medium high quality printing, for only $15 for 20 pages or 60 postcards. If i were to go higher in number it would be less cost per piece, but i really dont think i will need more than 60 of each different postcard. It is going to always be on contract with rush ordering and shipping. The order will be printed within 5 hours of my files arriving, and will be overnighted to me so that i can have them in the mail, and delivered to the prospects within 2-3 days of finishing the initial detail. I think this is a pretty good deal. aroud $30 total for very targeted, and hopefully more effective marketing than just blindly throwing flyers at people. These will also make great reminders as i can have 3 different cars per page, and can print as many different variations as i want. no two pages need be the same (digital printing is great).
Thats all on this for now
