Default Question for Don Alm

Don,

i read a post from you a month or so back concerning making ads on CD's for local businesses through the Chamber of Commerces. Can you give us a little insight on this? I tend to think to much and act to little but last Sunday I was in church (i sing in the choir) and the minister was announcing a fund raising campaigne for the one of the youth groups. I started thinking why the cd idea you shared could not be done with the church for church members who owned businesses. The youth group could go out to the member businesses and solicit the business. They would get a percentage (say 25%)of the fee and i would get the remainder. Everyone wins, the youths get their funds, the church member owned businesses get their advertisng, the members of the church get honest products/services from fellow members and i get the remainder (75%) of the fees. The cd's would then be handed out to each member of the church to use when they needed a service, say a plumber. I would concentrate on churchs with 500+ members so as to have a good size client base. Is this a good add on for your service?

As always its a pleasure to speak with you or receive feedback on the forums.

Mitch
