Update #3: Street Campaign

Posted on May 1, 2011

Do you feel like you don't have enough money to donate to THINK OF THE CHILDREN, but still want to help? Or have you already donated but want to do more? Let's do this old school and hit the streets with this campaign D.I.Y. style!

We've designed an easy-to-print PDF poster to go in comic book stores, conventions, book shops, record stores, coffee shops or wherever you think this project will be appreciated in your area. According to Jason Brubaker's advice on Grassroots Funding With Kickstarter, placing posters through Chicago really helped Cursed Pirate Girl's Kickstarter campaign, and they raised over $36,000! We'd like to at least hit our goal and hope this kind of action can help.

Here's how you do it:

  • Locate some local shops that will let you put fliers up. To find comic books stores near you, go to comicshoplocator.com. Remember, Saturday, May 7 is Free Comic Book Day and comic shops will see increased traffic. So try to get the posters up before then!
  • Print this PDF poster on letter sized paper.
  • Bring the posters to your local stores and ask their permission to hang them up.
  • Take a photo of the poster in its new home. Send it to us at christian.sager [at] gmail [dot] com. Include your name and the location you placed the poster at. 
  • We'll include your name and the poster's location on a library card placed on the inside back cover of THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

Here's what the poster looks like:
