OK, I've drafted a note to potential advertisers and sent it over to Tan for her comments.  I'm recommending that we send it out after we have voted on the recipient.

NB I've worded it so as to make clear that £25 is a minimum contribution for a one-sixth page and that bigger ads can be taken and / or more can be donated.

OK Tan - presumably ads can be one-sixth page, half page or full page?

Have you thought about asking the likes of Royal Canin (they have rescue food rates and are good with goodies for fetes etc) Burns and some of the petfood people an email works wonders for 1 dented tin if whiskas from a muliti pack we gota lot of vouchers enough to feed our mob for 5 days at 9 tinns per day it might be a good way afterall rescues do get petfood from most companies

Excellent idea Sam, there are loads of businesses on the supreme link, not all of them have websites listed but I know some of them do have them eg Russell Hardy designs definitely does - he makes the most amazing cat scratchers / trees   ;D

Ummmm not really my area of expertise here ... Maybe any catteriers that members use could be appraoched to see if they want to advertise,  as Tiggy's mum suggested Zooplus and vetUK.

The cat gallery shop in York.
Cat fine art - http://www.catfineart.co.uk/catindex.html
Maybe the lady that Linda (bengalbabe) used to take the profession photos of the Bengals.
Roz - secureacat fence proofing

I would try contacting the people who had trade stands at the supreme cat show:

Oo yes Helen & Chris that would be fantastic. I'm not very good at that sort of ting.
Great idea Helen cause the best adverts for it would be internet shops where they have the most potential to get business from customers unlike a local business say in my area. Online pet shops are great idea. and any others ya can think of, it would be a great help.

If you like you both could be in charge of the business bit for the diary? ie getting the adverts in etc.
I can do a receipt for the businesses if they want one. 

I thought £25 but if ya think they would pay more then please up it cause the more we get the more the cats get and thats our goal. ;D ;D ;D

If ya need an example of what the diary will look like to send in the email, i can send a a pic.

Bloomin  :angel: you both are  :Luv: :Luv:

I can fit 6 (6cm x 6am) adv on each page of the diary at the back pages. I have 4 pages for it put by but can increase the pages a few if need be.
They need to send me their adv as a jpeg, pdf, tiff, psd file etc.

They can send a chq to me or pay by palpal to my acc or if you want to do the collecting of the fees with the advert promotion thats fine.
It prob be best for them to send the donation (adv fee) with their advert? whatcha think? The whole amount will be staright to the rescue as the costs of printing and postage of the diaries are incl in the diary selling price.

I don't know about that Helen  :thanks:, but I'd be happy to draft an email promoting this advertising opportunity if y'all want. Perhaps Sam (and other knowledgable folk) could suggest some target recipients?

Ooh, just had another thought (must stop having these as I'm meant to be meeting my friend for lunch at 2 - she lives 10 mins away so I'm definitely late already  :evillaugh:)  Christine is a Campaign PR queen, maybe you could ask her to write the email 'selling' the advert to them....

Thought of some more - vetuk, kittycollars  Also don't know what the going rate is but would £50 be unreasonable?  You could sell it to them that 1) All the money goes to needy cats and 2) All the people buying the diary/reading the ads are completely cat crazy and are likely to spend lots of money on things for their cats!

Have you thought about spamming emailing online pet business to see whether they would be interested - Zooplus, MPM products (Worlds Best & Applaws) people who make cat scratchers, breeders etc  I'm sure we could all have a google for suitable businesses (Queen of google Sam - wher are you?!) and seeing as it's a relatively small outlay with the potential for lots of business to be made from it hopefully they will bite your arm off!

Calling all businesses!!

We are providing space at the back of the diary for business advertising to help raise more money for the cat rescue.
If you would like your business advertised in the back pages, please send your advert as an attachment to my email addy.
The advert must be no bigger than 6cm x 6cm in total size.
It will only cost £25 to place the ad for the years diary.   ;D ;D Fee due when diaries are ready to be printed off.
Get sending peeps
