- National Advertising:
In addition to the numerous world-wide web sites we are linked to, the I.C.P.A. has been doing print advertising in Mothering Magazine on behalf of our members. (View our ad here: http://www.icpa4kids.com/mothering_ad_sept.htm) Many have called to thank us for the many referrals they are receiving because of it.
We now want to go into additional magazines, however the price to advertise can range from $20,000 to $40,000 per year!!
To raise the funds for the ad, we have opened up a seperate account just for this purpose. Two of our members have immediately stepped up to the plate in support of our global vision: Dr. Patrick Flynn who contributed $1000 and Dr. Serdar Ayan who contributed $1,500 for advertising and $1,500 for Research. (You guys ROCK!)
We know that this will have a tremendous impact on parental awareness of chiropractic for children and as in the Mothering Ad, we will be sending the readers to your name on our referral directory. Please share our vision for national advertising, fill out this form http://www.icpa4kids.com/RegAdDonation-fax.htm and fax it over so we can begin our national campaign in January 2005!
