On behalf of the entire PaperChain committee I am happy to announce
"JULY is National Free Paper Month". We are currently forming a
committee to work out all the details on how to promote and celebrate
it. Many ideas have been bantered about and I can assure you the ideas
are awesome! The internal committee came up with the idea to switch the
celebration from March to July in order to take advantage of the spirit
of independence.
Dan Alexander, Sr. and co-chair of the internal marketing committee for
PaperChain said, "Given the state of some daily pubs pulling back, I
think the political mood is such that we could be welcomed as providing
our communities with a very valuable service, supporting and providing
an economic stimulant and identity to the areas we serve. Mom, Apple Pie
and your Free Community Paper. It doesn't get any more patriot than
that!!!"
Scarlette Merfeld from Denton Publications has agreed to chair the Free
Paper Month committee and if you would like to be involved, please drop
me an email. Please watch for details and help us to promote our
industry and plan to get involved in National Free Paper Month - July!
Officials for Rotary International have been invited to attend the AFCP
conference in Denver April 25-27 to meet with publishers to encourage
participation in PaperChain organized Rotary promotional materials.
Please help us to help Rotary meet their marketing needs and help prove
the effectiveness of free papers!
Lastly I want to encourage you to share the Link and Learn and Link and
Earn with your staff members. This unique monthly feature is courtesy
of PaperChain!
Please feel free to reach out to me with any PaperChain related questions or to volunteer to help.
