[pianotech] PTG Advertising - was new/old list

[David Love]

If I'm not mistaken you've responded on the old list serve.  So what is the
basic criteria for what qualifies and what doesn't?  Are there guidelines?
Did our chapter know about this (maybe someone in the chapter can respond)?
And to Ron's point, if we have dues paying members who are associate members
who also make their living as piano technicians how equitable is a campaign
funded by the PTG to discourage the public from using associate members to
service their pianos, if that's what the campaign amounted to?  If that was
the case, why did that campaign qualify for a grant?

Thanks , David.

 

It's not that this not for non-members, it just isn't a piano issue.

Thanks also to William and Joe for your posts.

 

PTG has a $20,000 fund set aside for the Chapter Grant program.

It is an effort to encourage Chapters to develop interesting/different ways
to promote PTG and the RPT brand.

Applications can be found in the Chapter Resource area of www.ptg.org.

Basically, the application is sent to the Executive Committee. It is then
checked to see if the plan fits the criteria,

     part of which includes some financial commitment on the part of the
Chapter.

Since the program started we have only received a few applications per year.
Some were rejected and some were given the OK. 

Each rejection was responded to, either by email or direct phone
conversation with the contact person,

     as to how  the idea might be changed to qualify.

 

I'm sure the beginning of this thread referred to the combined chapter
project in the Chicago area which was a very impressive and bold effort.

Another aspect of the Chapter Grand project is the chapters involved have to
provide an analysis of the end result at the end of the project. This has
yet to be determined in the case of the Chicago project.

 

Thanks for listening,

 

Jim Coleman, Jr.

 

PS I don't see any ads at the bottom of this page but if it shows
up......I'm sure someone will let me know.

OK, I'll take my answer off the air.  Consider it posted to PTG-L

Don't be ridiculous, Joe. It's not censorship, it's business that doesn't
concern anyone outside of our membership.  PTG-L is exactly where it
belongs.  People need to stop looking for reasons to be suspicious, in this
case it's painfully contrived.  Love ya, Joe, but this was silly.

 

In particular, I believe Mr. Coleman was responding to David L's particular
query, "Also, how was it that the funding of those regional ads was paid for
from the national pool of funds?"

I don't think it's too hard to understand that this information is of no
concern nor any interest to non-members.

Since when is Advertising and comments on the olde list something that
should be ONLY discussed on PTG-L??? Your penchant for censorship is
beginning to annoy me. (Not that that will shake you up or anything, but it
is, at least, becoming tiresome!) Get a grip!
