[AGA-sc] [Fwd: AGA/sfbaaps cooperation]

[Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@wilstream.com>]

Hi Y'all:

Well, it seems my Premium Club & Group Discount proposals were more 
confusing than I thought. I guess I'm a legend in my own mind!

Jeff says that our offer of 10 free subscriptions to TAG, i.e. 
"memberships" (shades of the previous conversation) is confusing. They get 
all hung up on the Premium Club memberships vs the Group Discount 
Memberships vs the 11 members of their club who are already AGA members?

They want enough "subscriptions" to have an AGA membership for each of 
their members. I realize that this number may change each quarter.

Anyway, based on this ongoing conversation with sfbaaps and seeing the 
validity of Jeff's point, I would like to revise the "benefits" of the 
Premium Club Program thusly:

-1 free AGA subscription for your club library
-A complete set of available back issues
-1 free AGA convention DVD
-A link to your club's web site on the AGA web site
-A on-time half-page ad in TAG for your club
-Premium Club discounts with sponsors and vendors when available
-Free promotional materials regarding the AGA, its convention, and the 
aquascaping contest
-Support and promotion of your local club events from the AGA

All for the low low price of $100 annually. (Would you cross the road for a 
free marshmallow?)

Furhtermore, as you will read below, Jeff has additional ideas that are not 
without merit.

What do y'all think?

Cheryl

Cheryl,

I've been mulling over our conversation...

My original primary question was, "how can sfbaaps be
of assistance to the AGA?" Your premium group
membership plan was a reasonable proposal but didn't
anticipate our shared membership ratios. I think your
proposal has stalled because of our interpretation of
that offer – $16 group memberships and a $40 club fee.
As a result of this ongoing process I see a few parts
that are particularly appealing to the intrests of
sfbaaps:

*An acknowledged vow of cooperation between local and
national organizations.
*possibility of sfbaaps representation in the AGA
decision making process.
*national club presence in TAG (perhaps a directory of
member clubs in every issue?)
*Reciprocal web links and other reciprocal promotions.
*club library of AGA published media.

I might suggest, a revised club membership that
included only 1 TAG subscription and 1 conference DVD
for a club's library. Subscription of individual AGA
memberships could then follow the now existing
individual or group rate plans. If group membership
fufilled the above qualifications I think that we
could sell sfbaaps on perhaps a $100 annual fee?

What do you think?
