2017 Ameraucana Breeders Club Handbook

[Birdcrazy]

Susan, at the rate this handbook is growing, we may have to raise the price on them! It may cost more than $ 5.00 to mail them! LOL

[Jen Mitchell]

I can't wait til they're available!!

Great work, Susan, and everyone else who has and is contributing!

[Susan Mouw]

Ok, with the deadline on ad submissions today, here is where we currently are:

18 advertisers, 7.5 pages color, 1.25 pages in b&w. for a total of $1010.  This includes a half page b&w ad the ABC is donating to YEPA, the APA Youth Organization.  It does not include some ads promoting the ABC - such as our marketplace, membership, etc.

Thank you to everyone that committed to an ad!  The new Handbook will be paid for, with at least one reprint covered as well.

You guys rock!!

If you have asked me to work up an ad for you, I will be doing that over the next few days.  Once your ad meets with your approval, I can invoice you in Paypal.

If I had to guess, I'd say the final Handbook will be around 50+ pages.

Correction:

19 advertisers, 8 pages color, 1.25 pages in b&w. for a total of $1070

Great work Susan! I can visualize the handbook, but can't wait to see it!

Thanks for getting all of the advertisers lined up the Handbook.  I know it will be a great benefit for members of the club.   Looking forward to the updated reference for the ABC     You might just check on postage to see what it will cost to mail as Gordon mentioned.

Will we be able to purchase copies of the Handbook to have at shows and meets for people who seem to be interested in the breed. Personally, I would like to be able to give them a copy of the Handbook if they seem really interested in the breed. We all know that people have thousands of questions.

Thanks,

Yes, they will be available in our store. I think we'll be able to maintain the same price as before - $5, but I won't know for sure until it's all put together and I know how exactly how many pages we have.  I can't even determine postage until I know how many pages. lol

[Susan Mouw]

I should add - everyone that advertised gets a copy free.

And I was gonna ask when we would be able to order one, but guess that can't even be done til you know the cost! lol...

Final ad count -

20 advertisers, 9.75 pages - 8.5 color, 1.25 b&w.  This does not include the ABC ads for the store, membership, etc.

I am planning on having the final layout done this week and get it to the Board by the weekend for their approval and review.  Once it goes to the printers, the turnaround is about a week.

I had originally hoped to have it done and back out by mid-March, but running a bit behind on that.

[Susan Mouw]

I've sent several ad layouts for approval tonight.  I still have 7 more to do, but should have those done in the next couple of days.

If you get an email from me, with a subject line of 2017 ABC Handbook, please open and respond as quickly as possible.

Ok, all ads to be mocked-up have gone out.  If you have not received and approved yours, please let me know so I can re-send it.  I am still waiting on final approval for three ads.

Now I can go work on my own ad. lol

[Birdcrazy]

Susan, do you need our approval on your ad? LOL
