Dear U23 Players,

In an effort to promote the team's upcoming tour to Edmonton -- and to raise funds to help offset costs for the players and the program  -- we're producing a media guide. The guide will include information about the U23 program, action photos from the NASC in June, profiles of each of you, ads/messages from rugby supporters and more.

Our production timeline is short; I ask that you please respond to the following two requests by July 18:

1) Fill out the media guide profile form at the end of this email and email it to Alex Goff.

2) Sell ads! Each player is asked to sell $150 worth of ads, an equivalent of two well-wisher ads. After that first $150, you start to earn a reduction in your cost share amount.

Following are the ad rates and sizes, all in inches. Please try to sell as many ads as you can quickly, because the deadline is fast approaching.

Back cover outside: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 $650
Back cover and front cover inside: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 $500
Full page: 4 7/8 x 7 7/8 $350
1/2 page: 4 7/8 x 3 7/8 $185
Well-wishers: 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 $75

Potential advertisers include friends and family, local clubs, tournaments (Saranac Lake, Beats of the East, DC Ruggerfest, Aspen Ruggerfest), businesses in your hometown, and larger businesses as well. Larger advertisers you might wish to approach could include Under Armour, Power Bar, Title Nine, Rugby Imports, Ruggers, Balls Out, World Rugby Shop, AthletiCo, MediaZone, College Sports TV, New Zealand Lamb Commission, Tour Companies (Gulliver’s), Gatorade, All Sport, DirectTV, Setanta Sport.

Advertisers need to get their materials to Alex Goff by Monday, July 18. Ads can be in electronic format (jpg, tif, pdf) sent to: alex@.... This is the preferred method of delivery. Or they can be mailed to:
Alex Goff, 5942 95th Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98512

Payments should be in the form of check payable to USA Rugby and sent to me by August 1:
Annemarie Henning, 750 Warfield Ave, #206, Oakland, CA  94612

In case any potential advertisers want to know, here is a list of who will get a copy of the media guide:
U.S. rugby media
Edmonton and other Canadian rugby media
U.S. General Media in local and national markets
Sponsors
Players
Players' family and friends
USA Rugby staff, board members, associates
General public (this means, if you're stopped at the airport and asked who
you are, give them a media guide)

I truly appreciate your efforts, particularly on such a short timeline. If you have any questions or want some input on how to go about selling ads, please let me know.

Thank you,
Annemarie Henning
