Veronica Mars DVD Drive - Donate Season 1 Sets To Libraries
Why?
The fact that our show got renewed at all was pretty amazing -- VM was one of the lowest rated shows to ever get renewed by a major network. As a result, Veronica's ratings will probably be closely watched by TPTB as it starts its 3rd season. If the ratings aren't substantially improved, they might cut back the number of episodes. Or worse, cancel the show altogether! Let's try to keep either of those things from happening.
How?
By getting as many VM S1 DVD sets into as many libraries as possible. Thanks to group efforts we've already donated more than 260 DVD sets to libraries. Our goal is to donate to libraries in all 50 states, and the top 100 Nielsen markets. We're getting closer to our goal everyday. More new viewers means better ratings, which means more new episodes guaranteed, which means good news for all fans. Plus, we'll be supporting local libraries, (good for everyone), and individually donated DVD sets are tax deductable, (good for you)!
If you are a librarian and would like a set for your library, let us know by posting in this thread HERE.
Also, if we can get a large number of sets donated -- a BIG, splashy number -- we could do an official press release. Media outlets that wrote about the airplane stunt might also write about our DVD campaign. And we all know, press for VM is always a good thing, especially as the show debuts on The CW.
If You Think This Is An Idea You Can Support, Spring Into Action!
- Check the Confirmed Libraries - Need Donations! thread. It has details about which libraries have said Yes, they'll accept a set - we just need help fullfilling those requests. Also go to the DVD Phase III - Think Big! thread for Nielsen Markets/States we still need to find libraries to donate to.
- Donate a set to one of the libraries listed and let us know about it so we can add your donation to the list!
OR
- If that sounds like too much work, donate to the group fund and other VM fans will happily do the leg work for you.
OR you could always just buy some VM themed swag from the Cloud Watcher's Café Press store.
(100% of monetary donations will go back into the DVD campaign and related efforts. Café Press merchandise: $2.00 from the price of every item we sell goes to the DVD campaign, the rest goes into the pockets of Café Press. If you can't afford to spend any money, please consider donating some time. We still need help in other areas of Cloud Watchers.)
AND FINALLY
- please pimp this campaign in your journal, community, website. Go HERE for info and rules on pimping Cloud Watchers.
If all of VM's fandom bands together, who knows what we might be able to accomplish? Help guarantee all VM fans get a FULL 3rd season!
