Grassroots Ideas
Solution111 has begun to pull together a number of ideas
for grassroots promotion of Jericho.
- Make a small sign to go in the rear of your car window, since it
has to be
read on the go, try to keep the words down and the type big. Make
people
aware that Jericho is coming back and that we want to everyone
to watch.
- For those that have a mailbox on a post put a sign similar to your
car
window sign and replace it as it needs to be from fading or rain.
- Most E mail programs have the capability for a digital signature, attach
a
relevant signature that will promote the shows return. Ask all your
friends
to also include it in their E mail transmissions.
- Write into your local editors and let them know that the Jericho
fight was
a victory for TV viewers, keep your comments brief because they have
limited space, but let readers know that the program is coming
back and will not survive if enough viewers don't turn in.
- Also include letters to your local neighborhood and town newspapers.
- Bring up Jericho in conversations around the water cooler,
at Lunch,
Breakfast and Dinner. Sound excited, excitement is contagious. Talk
up
the show and the battle for it's return, let people know
that you were
totally consumed to win the battle, now you don't want
to lose the war.
- Keep with you if you can't remember the URL a list of
the important sites,
E-mail or snail mail the URL to friends and colleges
that haven't seen the
show. Try to get them hooked by watching an online episode.
- When the reruns start invite the friends and relatives
over for a Jericho
party. Do whatever you can to get people to watch something on TV
or
online. If they don't like it after that well so be it but at least
they
were exposed.
- Get people if they can't or won't watch the program
in real time to record
it and watch later or watch it online. I think the online component
of
watchers could be a big factor to the next decision.
- Buy some Jericho ware and make sure you wear it every
opportunity in
public, ie baseball games, at the mall, out fishing, shopping at
WalMart.
- Buy the DVD's when they come out, let people know you have a copy
and
wouldn't mind letting them them borrow it. tell people once you watch
one
episode your going to be hooked.
- Send nuts to friends and relatives as gifts, mention
that you got the idea
from the save Jericho movement
- Remind people that the program will be airing and beg
if necessary to get
them to watch.
- Call into your local talk shows on the AM talk radio
segments
