Good point. In the giveaway frenzy, let's not forget the seriousness of the circumstances and why we are doing this.

So far we have raised more than $1000 *more* than we need to create the CDs!

Indeed -- fun for sure but all for our mission!

Yeah

We still have some additional printing/booklet costs I think, but that's a fair figure!

What's the latest figures on how much of the purchase will make it's way to charity? That's going to be a key figure in the bit of local promotion I plan on doing once the CD is released, and some pre-release work as well.

It might be useful information to have on the website.

We'll know soon after we add up all the costs and settle on the vendors after Freezey's negotiations, but it should be at least 18 dollars (hopefully more) per unit going straight to the charities -- a nice, tidy sum indeed.

Cheers,
Alex

I want to add though that we really do need to get a marketing ghuru on board soon, since someone with the knowhow can really make our sales fly.

Yes. Although having sold almost 1/5 of the production before it goes to press isn't bad...

Again, are we official in sending it to CDbaby? I've mentioned this before, but we need to figure in the costs of sending it to them. I say if we do that we have the CDs shipped to a member that is close to their offices so it doesn't have to go as far.

Second, if we do go through them, and they take a few dollars out, we have to figure that into the cost, and we have ot check if that few dollars is really that big of a deal. I know it's a pain for someone to have to ship them out, so it still may be the best option. But I don't know.

Last, they would send the profits to the Red Cross. We are advertising both the Red Cross and Habitat For Humanity. With CDBaby it would only reach one.

Just some definate decisions that have to be put in stone soon. I just wanted to give something to chew on.

I thought Freeztar had found a different company?
