Marketing

Absent this evening.


Jamie received an e-mail from Dwayne Wood regarding an IPMS Canada recruiting ad in FineScale Modeler magazine.  Robin to investigate.

We discussed ways of thanking hobby shops that are 'IPMS friendly', and thought that free advertising on the webpage for these folks would be a good thing.  The new Chapter Liaison guy will likely be our best POC for this effort.

Review copies of RT were sent out to cyber sites at Hyperscale, Aircraft Resource Center, and Modeling Madness.

Special Projects

Retail d
ecal sales have been steady this month.


The 441 Mustang III decal artwork is being prepared by Bob Migliardi.  He needs serial number style references before he can proceed.

With a large deployment of Canadian troops going to Afghanistan in February 2006, we discussed the possibility of IPMS Canada's members and Chapters sending out graft packages (AKA donations) of modelling materials to help with the troops relaxation during their time away from home.  Steve will investigate the procedures and report back, while this will probably be a great 'team-building' and coordination tasking for our new Chapter Liaison guy.
