Campaign
Update #85 Here I am, spending my rainy civic holiday! I thought it was time for an update! 1. STRATEGY for the next month or two. Openmind asked if she understood our strategy for the near future, and listed the following points, which I will clarify under each item: - Continue to send keys and notes to the SFC and WB. Let's continue the key campaign until we reach the 500 mark (1000 in all). The "numbers" are listed below. After that, let's switch to the postcard campaign. If you've already sent your keys off, switch to postcards. - Send birthday (etc.) cards to cast members. This is an initiative of individual Preymates, not the PFU Campaign per se, although it's great! - Send postcards to the SFC and WB from all over the world and the USA. Thanks for your positive feedback on this one; it is the "next phase" of the Campaign. Once we have sent enough keys (or if you've already sent yours), try to send a postcard from your city/town, state/province and country, emphasizing that Prey is indeed and "international passion". You might get friends and relatives to sign a stamped, addressed postcard or two as well! It might be a good idea also to mention which tv outlet Prey is/was being broadcast in your area (or if you are relying on taped shows), and any Prey-related acitivities that are going (or have gone) on there (e.g., cons, Prey get-togethers, etc.). AS WITH THE KEY CAMPAIGN, LET ME KNOW HOW MANY POSTCARDS YOU WILL BE SENDING, SO WE HAVE AN ACCURATE IDEA OF THE NUMBERS. AT THIS POINT, ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO SCI-FI SHOULD ASK WHEN PREY WILL BE BACK ON THE AIR. - Notify Barry Diller (USA Networks) of all campaign efforts. By all means write to Barry Diller if you have the time and energy after sending off all those keys and postcards! I am adding him to my "official" list; I have been sending Bonnie Hammer, Peter Roth and Bill Schmidt copies of all media coverage of the PFU Campaign and reviews of Prey; I will do the same for Mr. Diller. He should also be added to the "monthly reminder" list. Addresses are listed below. 2. Here are my latest numbers of the poster/key campaign. We still have a little ways to go, by my count. Please email me if you will be sending more (and wait until those postcards start fluttering in!). KEY
CAMPAIGN.
Total - 360 ONLY 140 to go! This is great! 3.
OFFICIAL PREY FAN CLUB. I have written to Bill Schmidt asking him for permission
to make the PFU Campaign the "official Prey fan club." No word back yet
on this (or any of our other requests!), but YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO
4. VARIETY AD. Those of you who would like a copy, please email me with your mailing address and I will send you a photocopy. The Queen of Prey has been repaid in full, and I have sent her tearsheets of the original ad (both coasts). 5. EMAIL PETITION. Immanuela has started an email Prey petition; her goal is to get at least 400 signatures (name and location); then I will send it off to TPTB. More information to come. 6.
HONOURABLE (OR HONORABLE FOR YOU AMERICANS!) MENTIONS to Jeanne for the
Indy Star interview (with article to come tomorrow!), and to Craig Engler
of scifi.com, for responding to her post. This is great publicity not just
for
7.
ELECTIONS. It's time to start thinking about nominations (or appointments)
for new "officers": coordinator, webmaster (maybe some new people could
be phased in--this seems to be already happening), con coordinator, treasurer.
