(Sorry to kick off multiple discussions, but wanted to make sure we have time discuss before it is time to do.)
I have two proposals for promotional things:
1. Review packets - We should send copies of our anthologies out for review (been meaning to for a while), and as long as we're doing that we should include copies of other peoples' comics. I propose that for each anthology assembly party, we invite T&H members to bring or send copies of their comics to be sent out for review. We will announce where we are sending the packets, and provide a printable form on which the artist can indicate which places they'd like their comic sent (to avoid duplicate submissions). Then at the party, we'll assemble the packets lickety-split and mail them off - voila, promotion accomplished! I know the Seeds assembly party is soon, but I propose we start doing this then (at worst we'll get the copies of Seeds sent out).
2. Free Comic Book Day - FCBD 2009 is May 2, and it can be a handy promotional tool. I propose that T&H invite its members to send in 5.5" x 8.5" comics which T&H will collect together with an item introducing T&H & its exciting news, wrap in a band and mail / deliver to stores. If we send out packets of 10, each 100 copies someone sends will get them into 10 stores, and if they send a 4-pg item (a single sheet folded in half), it should only cost them about $10.
