I like that you keep coming up with ideas even if I don't think all of them
will work out.
I believe that, in general, membership is helped by AGA having links and
references and, importantly, recommendations, in *lots of diff places* -- on
lots of diff web sites. But I think we already have that without buying space.
No one link brings marked membership, but many links in many places helps lend
credibility and probably helps swing some folks over the fence into membership.
If we could point to marked increases from specific types of exposure, or
special reasons why one exposure might be especially beneficial, then I'd say
that it's worth the gamble to to buy or swap space for more of that kind of
exposure and see what happens. However, I don't see anything like that on the
horizon.
Not being as creative, I'll raise again an old idea: Big TAG. Since TAG is our
biggest reason for folks to join, a Big TAG still might be our best chance to
increase membership. If we did increase membership with Big TAG, we probably
wouldn't have a net increase in revenues; we might even have a net loss for a
period of time but I think, given a year or so we could reach more folks *and*
remain solvent, and that fits within our mission. Maybe we could hook it's
premiere into the promo for 2006 convention somehow.

No way to tell.
