Do you want: "Who is Ron Paul/Google Ron Paul" on blimp?

[JWallace]

"Got Ron Paul?"

US + Ron Paul = 2008

I think "Google Ron Paul" is OK for one side of the blimp since the easiest way to learn about Ron Paul is on the Internet. But I also agree the word "president" needs to be on there so viewers can understand WHY they should Google for him.

The "Who is?" though, I never have liked very much, even in sign waves.

It MUST have the word "president" on both sides. We're trying to reach people who don't know who Paul is, not those who do. I really don't think the "Who is Ron Paul?" thing is nearly as effective as some of us think. The average person would see it and say "Who cares?"

Even "Google Ron Paul" is ineffective for a large segment of the population, especially non-youths.

ding ding ding! associate the name with the campaign

For something this expensive, we should at least consult someone who has extensive marketing experience. I strongly suggest that we contact someone and at least run some ideas past them.

Note: I can't remember who it was, but some time back, a gentleman on this forum had a marketing firm determine what the best selling points were about Ron Paul. As I recall, it had something to do with him being the Thomas Jefferson of our day, and also something about he being the only candidate who could beat Hillary.

Yes, but the marketing geniuses at the Ayn Rand Institute think better. They have expertise in sending secret obscure messages meant to confuse most people, but rally their targeted audience--the small group of supermen worthy of the message.

How about a big cigarette graphic with $dollar sign filters? That'll bring 'em.

"The messages on the Ron Paul Blimp were carefully chosen by a team of
people with diverse marketing backgrounds."

Who are these people? I tried to search the forum but couldn't find anything about this team.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Therefore the message goes into their subconscious mind.

That was why Hitler used to stand up high.

The blimp will be higher.

So, the powerful messge we want to send is "Ron Paul for President" as well as

what was on the original conceptual photoshop.

Ron Paul.... Peace. Prosperity. Freedom.

The original idea was perfect, and what fired up people to pledge.

This idea is MUCH better than what the group of marketing students came up with, in my opinion. Although, I think we should really consult some seasoned campaign marketing professionals.

Definitely.

People won't become a supporter just by seeing a message.
Give them a direction to see FURTHER.
A website and/or phone# may not be fancy, but is EFFECTIVE!

Keep it short and BIG:

RonPaul2008.com
Freedom * Prosperity * Peace​

+1 That pretty much sums it up.

Keep it short and big. People from a distance will be able to read it better and not everyone is fortunate enough to have 20/20 vision.

 

[Wolfgang Bohringer]

Nice!

Is it too late to fix these? We don't want to look like an insurgent campaign so much anymore, since this is half of what's holding us back. I liked the original "Ron Paul President 2008" graphic myself.

Personally, I hate the re-LOVE-ution thing. It turns me off, so I'm sure it will turn off some fraction of fence sitters. It just seems retro-hippie to me. I actually might not donate if they go this route.

What's going on anyway? Were the old pledges discarded or what? I don't know what we're expected to do. Pledge again, wait for an E-mail that it's time, what?

Anyone know who these marketing people are?

 

[Wolfgang Bohringer]

Only 21 out of 126 voters want to keep "Who is?"

So:

1. take an extra day or however long it takes to paint over or otherwise remove the red "Who is?" non-sense.

2. If you have to launch first fine, but quickly as possible replace the "R3volution" side with something like "Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity".

105 out of 126 of activists are asking for this at least. This is an anti-"Who is?" grassfire. It needs to be fixed.

I doubt they are painting the blimp on a Saturday, especially while the down payment is still being collected.

I'm telling you, just keep refreshing, new information keeps going up.

I've read before that the artwork is paid for by the owner of the Airship company as he's also a Ron Paul supporter.

"Who is Ron Paul" is very negative

Who is Ron Paul?

If you have to ask - it makes him sound like a nobody.

He is:

The man seen by 5 million people on The Today Show.

The man see by 4 million people on the last CNN Republican Debate.

The man leading a revolution.

So he's obviously famous, and nobody would dream of asking this question.

 

[alexpasch]

The best ones I've seen were the ones that had "Ron Paul; Peace, Prosperity, Freedom"

Short and simple...that's what should be on there
