Hey Everyone,
Quick update: We have had a great first week of membership sales. We don't have as many as I would have liked but it's only been a week. Although, there have been a good flow of donations. We have enough capital to execute phase one of our public outreach campaign. This will be unprecedented.
We have begun planning on our media project for phase one and should be going to production in 7 to 10 days. I think we will meet my personal deadline of 60 days from launch. I think it's going to be great. Our materials will be original production paid video ad's on YouTube, on Facebook, Twitter and more. These will be highly targeted communications. At that point, I'm hoping those who are sitting on the fence will know we mean business and join us. Our website will be expanded as part of this educational effort as well. There will be lots of tools available for our community to attract positive attention from any non-gun owning person in your life.
We are about a week away from finalizing our volunteer structure, which is a ton of work. This is an infrastructure that allows us to organize where people and their unique talents fit in to this group and how they can help. It's hard to just say "come volunteer" then someone says "sure, what do you want me to do?" And we go "I don't know, call this guy." Soon we will be expanding the volunteer section of the website (a week or so) to accommodate this.
We will have brochures in the next two or so weeks. We have designs and are finalizing them, we have the budget to pay for them also! Swag is being done as well. This will be completely outsourced but coordinated by volunteers. this will be a few weeks off yet.
There is more than this going on but I think you guys needed an update. I'm very grateful for all your support both by becoming members and for staying positive and excited for something different. Here's hoping we can thrive in the next few years!
Rod.
