What do all you think about doing another set of AS cards, with some pithy Rand quote about entertainment, to publicize the release of the movies?
Along with your opinion, you may certainly suggest quotes if you like - on entertainment, its value, something like that.
Thanks, all

    I apologize for not showing you what I was talking about. Look at the enlarged copy of the cards.

    Many people used them as "social cards" - I have no idea how many have MY name and phone number on them. One person passed them out at gun shows - a great hit. Their purpose was to inform the public that there was such a thing as the AS movies.
    I think anything that gets Rand's words out is good; I like the idea of cards [because they're cheap!] with the movie URL on them. The purpose would be to encourage people to see the movie, and to read the book.

    Tell me what you think after you see the original cards. If LS is willing to do the ordering and sending them out again, that is great. If not, I'll do it, and it will be along the same lines as that card I displayed. If we're going to use the movie URL, we have to ask permission; I will do that.

    The original WIJG was used like a social card [go back on Letsshrug's posts to see them] - they had a BEAUTIFUL dollar sign, the movie site URL, a Rand quote, and, because the 1st 2 movies had that lovely "are you ready?" question asked of those going on strike, it said are you ready?

    So, when is the USPS going to come up with an Ayn Rand stamp, or have they already done it?

    Great idea. Would love to have a ton of them as still use snail mail to send good things to friends. In my opinion, good things should make one think.

    How about this, for a quote,: "...when men are rational, freedom wins."
    The problem with A.R. quotes is that most words, with a few exceptions, have more than two syllables. But, if you look real hard you can find a few.

    Great idea. I have a friend who still does snail mail from another state. She gets cards with religious quotes and philosophical life quotes sge sends with her mailings. It is always interesting to read them. People who might not have read AS, might get hooked by a simple quote.

    Maybe have some AS "social" cards printed with our name, address, etc, much like a business card but for social occasions.

    Good idea. I write 3 checks a month and I stick an AS postit on each. They at least have to look at it as they pull it off.
