Re: GWAPA Proposal -- AGA2K4 -- 1-4-2004 (fwd)

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

You're pretty much throwing the money away if you do that.
You'd be better off letting them (overseas members) see
about the convention in TAG. Then the only ones left out
are those overseas that don't want to use on-line
purchasing and it won't cost extra postage. Although the
TAG notice could tell them where to mail a check so no one
would be left out. But to do a separate mailing overseas is
a lot of money with very little propsect of getting any
more registrants than you would without the mailer --
probably not enough return to cover the postage.

Even domestically, the number of regs you get from the
mailer is going to be count the fingers of one or two
people. That's enough to make it worthwhile but it's a
small number.

Trying to reach a market that is unlikely to respond is all
the more reason to use TAG for that market.
