Hi Gang
Well, crunch time is over, now it is the Big Squeeze! All the things we have been talking about now have to get done and we don't have a whole lot of time to squeeze it into.
Here's the deal. If we can get 1000 people to show up, that would be $5000 in cover charge alone. Not bad! But if they would spend just $10 more once they get inside, that would bring our total to $15,000, which is basically our goal. We just have to somehow get 1000 people to show up.
I have been handing out the handouts (which sorta makes sense) to stores all over town. I have also ran into signs all over town where other people have already been there. Fantastic! We also were in the newspaper last night. Not the big, atention grabing article I had hoped for, but at least if was free. We should also be on the Washington Theater Marque, or at least we should be shortly. Jim Lawrence from WGEM said he would get it up there. I have also been to most of the churches and factories in Quincy and most said they would put the handout up where the parishioners and employees could see it.
But as any advertising exec will tell you, to get 1000 people to show up, we must get a absolute minimum to 10,000 "impressions".
