Re: [GSAS-board] Web site stuff (sponsors)

>>In response to the emails over the weekend I remain horribly conflicted
over the sponsorship issue too.  I see where Phil is going with the ability
to really make the auction big in the Canada model and how to keep the
website maintainable.

Keep in mind that I am NOT in favor of making our website a huge mass of
ads, ads and yet even more ads.  I DO think that the occasional banner ad,
if done nicely, will go a LONG way to helping us get continued support from
our big sponsors. Not a huge amount, and maybe not even one, but just one at
the top that rotates with our sponsor info. If we allow one rotating ad for
ANY sponsor - Blue Sierra, Red Sea, APFP, whoever - then all sponsors are
truly equal there.  Also a separate page or tab listing our club's sponsors
(like the AGA has) is perfect, and just what I had in mind.

>>If a club is willing to participate in a newsletter exchange I would be
happy adding them to or links as that serves a purpose.  I would also work
to add (maintain) or donor email list so they at least get a regular PDF of
the newsletter.

Oh yes, we should most definitely send our sponsors the newsletter!  As they
reply, I'll make sure to provide the list to whoever needs it.

>>I for one like the logo now that I know a little about it.  However change
can be good.  This is not something to do lightly.

Please keep in mind that I wasn't trying to step on any toes when I tweaked
the logo - I like it too, it just had a LOT of dead space, and I thought
adding the "official Seattle" colors might brighten it up a bit.  By all
means, if anyone insists I change it back or use something else, please let
me know!  

In the meantime...can I get a copy of that "Sponsor" email or mailing list,
where we were sending the newsletters?  That might help me a LOT in
contacting the right folks for donations!

Thanks - Phil
