Know I'm coming in on this late, but I actually do use a fair number. Often
a contributor will contact me and want a handful more, and I try to bring
sets to either auction or raffle off when I speak.
That said, I think we want to mamange it carefully and not have too many
extras floating around. We knew this was going to be an issue when we
swithed to this printer. Amprint would have been competitive if we'd been
able to increase our numbers. They just weren't willing/able to eat it on
the front end as this firm did.

Subject: Re: [AGA-sc] Extra TAGs
My thought is that there isn't really any a need for us on the board and
such to have lots and lots of extras sitting around. Up to the 1000, we
can view the issues that aren't used as essentially "free copies", but if
we're now going over, we cannot be so frivolous. I pulled our 10-15 per
issue a few quarters back (and frankly, don't know what I'm going to do
with all the extras I've got sitting around). Does Scott need 15? Does
Karen need 15? Does David need 15? Does Dorothy need 15? Do all our
advertisers need 5? If anyone should be guaranteed extra copies, it's YOU
and Diana.

Well, I only have a couple issues of TAG 17-4 left in my possession! We
have been running shorter and shorter each time.

How'd we manage for the last two issues? There were as many, if not
more, copies mailed out then...
I'm OK doing it, but only if we have to.

Hi:
As of this moment, we have 840 active members. The multi's account for
an additional 130, approximately. I usually send a few extras to the
authors/photographers in each issue. I would like to give a copy or an
extra copy to convention sponsors (who don't advertise in TAG),
speakers, contest winners, GWAPA, etc.
I usually send a copy of the latest issue for about a month after each
issue is published, so that could be another 20 or 30 copies.
And there's a (small) percentage of replacements. Sigh.
We're going to run out if we only order 1000 copies. Should I order 100
extra? It would cost about $290 more.
