RADIO ADS: ANTE UP NOW! - lets do this!

An address to send a check to

That's what I ment by address. Sorry not to include in the first message.
 
How much do you need? For example, how much is a 30-second spot on Mikkelson's show, or whatever? Are you going to have the stations do the voice-over? Do you have a script? How soon will they go up?

I'm ready to send money; just want to know what we're buying.

I have inquired about what is BEST to hit... 30 or 60 second slot - she will get back to me.

NO, I do not have an ad yet. I will work on that this weekend with a professional in a budddies studio. I WILL NOT put forward a amatuerish or "second best" ad. It WILL SOUND professional, because I am heading this up. This is his timeslot and pricing. I understand where you are coming from, but I can't make guarantees on what is gonna be available or how perfect the actual ad will be. You just have to trust. I do not want to put out too much info here.

Level 1--- 90%-100% coverage
60second: $375
30 second: $300

level 2 --70%-89% coverage
60second: $325
30second: $260

level 3 --0% - 69% coverage
60second: $275
30second: $220
 
I would vote for August 6th/7th/8th if possible... A good showing in the debate on the 5th followed by some "buzz" could work wonders... We will DEFINITELY need to get volunteers to keep the lines open to the talk shows on Aug 6th... This will not cost any money and could work wonders... Combined with radio ads and (HOPEFULLY) some sort of August 5th/6th "Overnight" we could make some measureable headway right before the poll... My gut feeling says that there will be lot of Iowans watching that debate, and many of them will be thinking "Gee, I'd vote for him if I though he had a chance..." If they go out the next day or two and see Ron Paul everywhere and here his supporters on the airwaves they might decide to vote for him... If they go out and DO NOT see/hear a lot about Ron in the couple days right after the debate they will probably not vote for him no matter how "Right" they think he was in the debate..

I so wish I was in Iowa right now....

Does anyone know any of the people on the ground there who are going to be taking this to the wire???
 
That helps a lot! I was going to put up $200. Does someone want to go the extra $75 for a level 3 60 second ad, or the extra $175 for a level 1 60 second ad? (Seems like 60 seconds is the best investment, right? Provided you have 60 seconds worth of material.)

How much $ do you have right now, Xar?

well.. I don't have much.. If I fold the NEWSPAPER one into this -- then I have about ..hmmm

Its hard to say.. I am putting forth 500 of my own money, and IF we use all monies, then total we have about $750 ... BUT I pinged those who contributed to the NEWSPAPER to see if its okay to roll the monies over... so we have to wait.

Somenoe pinged me earlier for a large amount for radio, if he/she puts in.. that would be great...

I will go back to my original radio ad.. and ping those people who said they will donate..

Just DONATE what you can.... someone put in $7, that is 7x more than nothing :-)
 
Alright, I am pledging $300, enough for one ad. Count it as money in the bank, but I would prefer to see the script first. Can you include "defend our borders, not Iraq's?"
 
Well....

I wanted a couple of new garbage cans because one of mine has a cracked lid, but INSTEAD .... I'll put duct tape on the lid and send you $100. :D

Please PM me the details for paypal donation.
 
Looking at a map, I wonder if we could get a good deal in the Nevada and Boone local radio markets just east and west of Ames. These are smaller towns but very close to our Straw Poll target. Maybe we can squeeze a few hundred extra votes from the heartland for a small investment. What do you think?
 
i put in the 7$ lol sorry if its not much.

I was saying that your contribution is FINE. Cause people think "I can't donate much", and I was saying.. donate whatever you can.....

I was actually giving you kudos... or at least that was my intention :-)

Yes... that is why I have those "other stations" in there.....

the focus will be WHO, and I will trickle down on the others.

hahahaha... awesome! we are steadily climbing...
 
Sending everything I can to the offical campaign has me dried up right now, but I'll do ramen and send you a few days' lunch money for the cause. $25 more added.
 
I think a lot of people will tune into Jan Mickelson on WHO on Monday August 6 (9-11:30) to hear discussion of the debate. I think he's a closet Ron Paul fanatic. Might be a sweet spot. Also consider Steve Deace from 4 to 7 PM that day as I'm sure he'll be discussing the debate as well. He supports Huckabee but has said good things about Dr. Paul and just hates Romney.

In some thread yesterday I said...

Therefore I offer as a suggestion looking at WOW 98.3 FM (all talk - Glenn Beck, Savage, Hannity) in Des Moines and maybe target the 'Mac's World' 1:20 to 3:40 afternoon program since it's local. Another option would be to explore running something on an Ames radio station or the station at Iowa State University (which should be dirt cheap). Running ads in Ames might be some good bang for the buck since there's almost no travel involved. It's a bummer that classes don't start until Aug. 20 but I'm sure there's still a fair number of students in town on Aug. 11.

I AM targeting WOW:
98.3 KWQW (Citadel Broadcasting, news/talk/sports) — "Wow FM," Boone, 41 kW

I will look into the University too... I dont' wan to spread our message too thin... But I hear you.

thanks.
