Behalf Of Susan Welenofsky 15% off is really cool Susan -----Original Message----- Dear Roy, This was outstanding outreach on your part with Kevin
-- thank you so much! It's really a model for how we can strengthen our club's
relationship with our local stores. I suggest that we put the ads in both the
print and electronic editions, simply to strengthen those relationships as much
as possible (but keep an eye on whether this ends up increasing costs). Cordially, Margie C. On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 9:42 PM, Seattle_Aquarist <Seattle_Aquarist@comcast.net>

was doing and I said that in my opinion attendance has grown in the last
year. He said he sees very few members visit his store, or if we do we
are not letting our membership be known when we visit. I asked how we could
better support him as a “Store Sponsor”. We discussed the
updating our GSAS website and a link from our website to the store
website. (I confirmed tonight that it is currently in place in the
“Sponsors/Donors” area of our website at that the link
works.) I also confirmed that his is receiving a “hardcopy”
of the monthly GSAS newsletter and asked if he would like additional copies or
if he or his employees would like to receive it electronically. Kevin
said not at this time, one copy was sufficient. I asked if he would be
interested, as a “Store Sponsor”, in a business size card
“ad” in our monthly newsletter. He said that would be nice
and he that would consider donating a fish or other item for our monthly
mini-auctions if someone would come by and pick it up. I asked if he
would be interested in taking out a ¼ page ad in our newsletter. Kevin
said it had been discussed in the past, but instead of supporting the club with
advertising it was decided to give members a 15% discount instead. I
asked if possibly advertising for special events, like the “ Bottom line, no donation
yet but I will go by again next week. In the meantime, what are your
thoughts on the following? 1)
Business Card size “ad” in our
Monthly Newsletter for “Store Sponsor”, maybe put them all in a
common area with a caption recommending our members support the stores that
support our club and mention the discounts available? 2)
Offering ¼ page ad space for Special Events at
Stores (for a fee)? Overall my meeting with
Kevin was friendly and positive. I was interested in what we could do, as
a club, to help support him as a “Store Sponsor” and Kevin was open,
friendly, and very frank. I probably opened about a dozen cans of worms
that everyone is going to get really excited about, so try not to all yell at
once! I look forward to your input. From: gsas-board-bounces@thekrib.com

On Behalf Of Seattle_Aquarist Hi all, I visited with Kev at
“ Maybe we could increase
member interest if we posted on our forum what donations we have received to
date?!! I know I am interested and I suspect others would be as well. Thanks, From: gsas-board-bounces@thekrib.com
