I am asking for help. Will you help me figure out if the following
is effective? <br>
<br>
<br>
Background:<br>
<br>
I have a OST client who wants to get the OST Invite out there with
just 27 calendar days to go...on a Friday! There are not many (if
any) ways for the Sponsor to send it sooner...<br>
<br>
Ouch. I'm not fond of this idea. <br>
<br>
I explained that 6 weeks was best and 4 was really pushing it, at
the start of the conversation about doing the OST event. <br>
<br>
Today I offered these "creative" suggestions (ugly hacks?) to patch
this less-than-30-days situation:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<SUGGESTIONS><br>
<br>
I also suggest that we get the handbills out there, in the public
areas, and put this link on it:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/">http://www.openspaceworld.org/</a><br>
<br>
I suggest we also send out a pre-Invitation 'save the date' email
with just a little info and a link, and get those handbills out
there, these actions will get it out there into the ecosystem and
allow us to make use of the full 4 weeks. <br>
<br>
....these ideas, and any other ideas you have for talking it up and
getting it out there are probably good ideas now. Before we act
let's chat tomorrow about this OK?<br>
<br>
</SUGGESTIONS><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am asking for help. <br>
<br>
Do these 2 non-standard ideas work OK in your view? <br>
<br>
Or am I making a mockery of the OST process by doing this? Are these
"ugly hacks?"<br>
<br>
Is this OST heresy, or a good-enough idea? <br>
<br>
I welcome your replies! <br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Daniel<br>
