Do we want to start gearing up for the next moneybomb to be on Independence Day? Thoughts or other date suggestions? I'm not able to make pledge pages or anything just thought i'd get the discussion going.
 
It seems like someone has already planned a money bomb for June 5.

MODERATOR NOTE: This money bomb site is organized by a FOR PROFIT group. While there may or may not be a direct profit from the donation the e-mail addresses collected WILL be used for future profit ventures. Please keep this in mind when spending your time to ask others to sign up.


I think that's way too close to today's money bomb for it to be successful ($1M+).
 
June is too soon in my humble opinion. July at the earliest.

I'd almost like to see us wait longer and save up to break our $6 million record.......

yeah. i agree that putting moneybombs to close together usually doesn't work. so maybe we should start planning for one in November or something.
 
June 30th because that's the end of this quarter's fund raising totals. Get a little extra steam for the report.
 
Last time, the "sweet spot" seemed to be around 5 weeks, which would place us somewhere around Flag Day, if looking for a national holiday theme.

Today we are already 5th on the all-time best list of money the campaign has raised in a single day, with at least 5 hours to go:

Best Days:

1 2007-12-16 $6,043,022.96 59,170

15 2008-01-07 $142,868.35 1,932
16 2008-01-30 $142,861.00 2,010
17 2007-11-07 $141,922.46 1,428
18 2007-11-29 $139,990.30 1,773
19 2007-11-27 $139,766.10 1,604
20 2008-01-22 $123,804.93 1,868
21 2007-11-21 $122,572.22 1,200
22 2007-12-03 $118,601.20 1,447
23 2007-10-10 $117,535.30 1,248
24 2007-12-15 $109,088.56 1,330
25 2008-01-08 $106,409.24 1,418

So, my vote is for somewhere around Tuesday, June 14th. It gives everybody time to regroup and make proper preparations like sites, videos, banners etc. It also allows time for gearing up teams for mass messaging.

5 weeks. Flag Day. June 5th is too soon, but nobody is stopping anyone from donating!

Gotta be the Fourth of July. C'mon people. Patriotism!


Seriously though, its long enough away that we can save up and hopefully make it huge, but still early enough before the Aug 13th Ames straw poll that they can put it to use for that extremely important event. The $1 million we raise today can tide them over until July 4th.

July 4th makes the most sense

Consensus several months ago was everyone will be gone camping, and Media would be irrelevant and negligible on the 4th.

I like the Flag Day idea. It's patriotic, but doesn't have the problems associated with Independence Day. People will be out of town with their families on July 4th, spending money, and the last thing on their mind will be contributing to a campaign.

July 4th would be great - EXCEPT nobody would be around...
 
It needs to be a WEEKDAY near July 4th. Many won't have access to a PC on July 4th. Libraries people who donate at work may be inhibited. Much less those who will be busy blasting fireworks.
