Also Join: http://www.ilnaclub.org/links/ 7. Offer a FREE email notice list for future meetings and shows. www.ymlp.com is a free service (see our web page). We have about 60 members, and have 30 people signed up on-line for notices (some signups are NOT members!) HOME TOWN: 1. Contact local newspaper(s) to get on monthly schedule of announcements. We have gotten several new members from the free monthly notices, and several from the web site. 2. Get newspaper to show up to take photos of annual shows. The publicity just after the show won't help much, but they will have pics on hand for the next show, to use prior to that show. 3. Test your advertising dollars by including a "Free World Coin with Ad" notice in ads. 4. If you have sales of Raffle tickets, include a "Check Box" option: "Send postcard notice for next show" We now send out several dozen postcards for each show.
