Community Bows near completion.
DanaM:
Can someone tell me what the last community bow went for, where it was auctioned and how many new subscriptions were generated?
Pat B:
Dana, From what I've heard it went for $150. It was auction off at MoJam. I don't know how many subscriptions it generated. Maybe Marie or Sarah could tell you that. Pat
DanaM:
You see where I'm going with this eh. It just doesn't seem like you are going to get
the exposure that your looking for at one of the hunting banquets.
bullcreekboy:
$150 dollars is way too cheap. :o I am on the RMEF committee here in our local town. We have a pretty good turnout at the banquets. We average around 250 attendants. I donated a simple BBI at the last banquet and it sold for $425. The key at the banquets is to have a good auctioneer and really get the crowd involved. When we have an item that is donated and auctioned at the banquet we always take a minute to give a little speech and try to get some press time for the organization that donated the item. I am not sure how the other organizations handle their banquets.
Pat B:
Dana, I think that MoJam is the wrong place to auction off our Community Bows. Everyone there makes their own bows and nobody is carring a wad of money when they come...plus, a lot of folks already subscribe to PA. All of the suggestions are worth looking into. The money recieved is not the point. We don't get it anyway. What we are looking for is the most publicity(and subscriptions) as we can get for Primitive Archer Magazine. This is one reason I like the idea of one of the National Organizations.
Shannon, Can you get us info about when RMEF will hold their next banquet?
As I said before, this is NOT my decision to make. When we get all of this info coordinated, we will put it to a vote amoung all parties involved and that is all of our members. We have 2 complete sets that can be raffled off with either one group or 2 differant groups. That's another decission we will have to make.
