It seems you get more bang for your uck when you advertise in the Chronicle, even if the ads are pricey, the istribution and exposure is so great (and more important effective) that ads re ctually cheaper based on results. As far as our Review, I don't know hat they can do to revamp and make it profitable to advertise. Currently t basically is preaching to the choir, our membership. We need to expand ur distribution to make it an effective magazine. If the club would take chance on national exposure, like have the Review available for sale in et stores, etc., but it would have to be much more than just results, a few ds and upcoming shows. It would need to contain articles also directed at regular' (dare I say pet people - because that is what majority of our reed is, family pets). Maybe a yearly expanded version to promote the ational (one that could contain a compilation of the year's articles) again ocusing on what a 'regular' GSD owner would be interested in to be sold ommercially at pet stores. We could print extra copies and saturate the eographical area where the upcoming national will be held. It could spark nterest n attendance of the national. We could also send it with an invitation o local TV/radion stations for publicity. We have to start thinking utside just our interests in the breed. As the saying goes "be inclusive not xclusive." All I know is I miss the great articles of the past and would ake time to go through the old Reviews page by page. I've got Reviews that treasure going back to 1927. Now it's just bathroom reading material and akes no time what so ever, and then I flush. :-( ust trying to brainstorm a bit. at ===========================================================================OST is Copyrighted 2010.
