Thank you so much for doing this TexasLiberty!!!! It is so inspiring!!

The blimp is going south to Florida now where it will be flying all the time now! So I do have a feeling we have not seen nothing yet!

The owner has given us 3 extra days for this first month as well due to the banner issue!

So starting tomorrow we will start getting much more attention. We will be hitting Florida very hard and trying to fly media in from around the country!

Also, we have a second blimp we are going to try and get funding for as well once we pay for this one! It doesn't seat passengers but is a hot air blimp and can travel quickly and easily.

So this blimp will still be the VIP skyship for the celebrities and media to ride in! It will be so nice to stick with a schedule that is unlikely to change!

Thanks again for these statistics!! They are priceless!

TL, great research. I plan on looking up all of the references. Thank you for posting them all.

I have a question about the numbers though. You write:

Using an estimated average major media value of $2500
and an estimated blog mention value of $100,
and an estimated cost of $2400 for a 30 second prime-time ad
($600 for non-prime-time)

Just wondering where you came up with those figures and are you equating time spent creating, editing and shaping a TV ad, with a mention in a news cast? Or did you discount the figures somehow?

I am not sure I can agree with your accounting, but whatever the true number is, you have clearly shown that the blimp has brought us news coverage.

Whether your numbers are low or high or right on, this is fantastic research and must have taken you a ton of time to come up with.

Thank you.
