As I was going through a bunch of old junk I had packed away in boxes I came across tonnes and tonnes of these Avant cards that I had kept over the years, mainly because most of them have really great artwork or are clever and funny. I used to hang them on my walls as artwork or I have occasionally received them as birthday cards etc, mainly because they are a type of artwork in themselves regardless of what they are advertising. And as I said I have kept them for years.
The point is that I had the idea of seeing if we could possibly look into distributing some for TZM. These things are everywhere. I usually see them at cinemas or clothing stores in the city or shopping centers.
They are a little pricey but maybe we could get enough people to chip in. Or if there's some way we could prove that we are a not for profit organisation we could see if there's a possibility of a discount.
The website is here: http://www.avantcard.com.au/index.php
My other idea is flyer and DVD distribution, like many religions and other causes tend to do. We could set up locations in the CBD or shopping centers and have people standing around to give information. I would be happy to volunteer for a day here and there to promote TZM. I haven't yet called council to ask about this because I'm sure we need some kind of permit but if anyone else is interested I could look into it further.
Finally, did anything come of the suggestion to promote ourselves on Triple J? I think it's a great idea. Just about every 20 something year old I know listens to Triple J.
I'd be happy to do it but I'm not sure I have the greatest voice for radio and I would probably need to brush up on my knowledge of the ins and outs of the whole project if there were any in-depth questions.
Anyway, let me know what you all think. =)
