To expand and clarify: The GSDCA Boards, I am sure cut out alloy of things to save pages and $$$ but in doing so cut member interest and appeal to advertisers due to the smaller size. Here again penny wise and pound foolish. Maybe like show sites? JoanJoan F. Fox website: http://www.campaignersgsds.com 17500 Haskins Rd.

We have less people as well $$$$ I am not positive but I believe a page costs are $110. ??? We charge $125. The major problem is the internet. Let me reiterate: The major problem is the internet. Used to be: Specialty shows ran ads... now they rely on the lists. WDA ran ads for their shows. Now they have their own magazine. GSDCA ran ads for the store products GSDCA ran ads for videos. Committees ran reports. Officers and committees were published each issue. WDA ran articles and membership forms. OFA names and numbers were reported consistantly. All Specialty Show dates were published even without a page. Fut/Mat info was published often. Fut/Mat entry forms were included. Winners pictures, even at A/B were included. Specialty show winners had each clubs pictures on one page. All Specialty shows had all winners listed. Parade of Title Holders were each month. People ran ads for kennels and puppies each month in the Classified. May I reiterate again? THE INTERNET! Think maybe the GSDCA needs to expand and charge for this service? Joan No right or wrong here: Just these made the Review bigger which made for more interest and ads. Color versus B/W? I run B/W ads as I think you can see the dogs better. If you are campaigning a dog I doubt the cost difference keeps you from advertising. Joan F. Fox website: http://www.campaignersgsds.com 17500 Haskins Rd.

People don't have the disposable income they used to have. It's affected our entries as well. I do think that lowering the costs is worth a try. Same goes for seats at the National. The price we charge is arbitrary. Lower the price and sell more seats.
