Growery Marketing Submissions Thread
    #286172 - 09/25/09 01:08 PM (15 years, 2 months ago)

Hey Growery!
Coming up here very soon we're gonna start a big marketing campaign to bring new members to the Growery.

The first phase is going to be distribution of some 4x6 cards at various events including concerts, festivals, and cannabis related rallies.
We'll talk more about the details once they're printed, but

WE WANT THE MEMBERS HERE TO GET INVOLVED!

So, those of you who are so inclined, please use this thread to submit your idea for the advertising cards. 
The card will have two sides, the front should be eye catching and can be anything from personal art, to photoshop work, or anything else you can think of. The front should have "The Growery" somewhere on it, and possibly the "Marijuana Demystified" phrase found on the homepage.

The back should have some references or bullet points regarding what we're all about: Cultivation, Activism, Socializing, etc...use your imagination.

Let's see what kind of talent we've got floating around here Growery!

If you think that LEO isn't lurking the Shroomery, ICMag, Rollitup, and yes eventually the Growery, then I've got a bridge in California to sell ya.

We are here to spread information, and we recognize, and try to minimize, the risk that we take. 
I hope that at least some of us feel that the risk is worth the opportunity to stop the spread of much misinformation.

Let's see some submissions here.

^^Some of Geo's pics that you could incorporate^^

http://www.growery.org/forums/usergallery.php/gallery/41/folder/bagseed

^^Harry's Gallery with some cool pics to choose from as well^^

As I said in the OP I picture it being 2 sided with a cool picture or art on the front along with the site name, and the back having a list of features...you know: Cultivation Forums, Essays and Articles by growers and breeders, Grow Logs, Strain Reviews, Discussion of Legal issues, etc.

hmmm those pics would be really hard to see if its 4 by 6.




I was thinking about just picking one and using it as the full size of the card and then putting the text over it on the front.

The back could just be a solid green with the text over it.

Don't forget the 'rate my pipe' section.  That could be a big drawing point.  We had discussed previously that if we are going to include a picture of some bud with it then it should def. be from someone here.  Harry's is great and so are geo's.




All of that for sure...I forgot about the rate my pipe thing, but that should def. be there!

Cool man! 
Couple things: knowledge is spelled k-n-o-w-l-e-d-g-e
Maybe change the blue font to something a little less script-y?

Actually, FB we could use that as the front, and use Tripto's concept for the back of the card

I'm diggin' it.

AWESOME Harry!
Thank you!
I'm gonna give this thread 24 hours for more submissions, and then I'm gonna get quotes for the cards.

Agreed, I wanted to use what we had to (like I said in the earlier post) get a quote so that we would have a general idea of the cost; not because that's what we are necessarily going to use.
Sorry my post wasn't clear.

I didn't really want to limit the type of submission we got so that people could get creative with it.

I'll try to get a bit more specific.

Okay...this is very rough, I just scanned this in.



So the front would look like a modified version of the homepage, and the back is a brief synopsis of what we do.
The scribble there is whatever bud shot is chosen, and can be incorporated however you want to do it.

The back could have pics, or it could just be a solid green with the text over it.

I like the bud that Harry posted by Acidic Sloth, but it the background needs to be cropped out, and the bud needs to be kind of integrated into the card so that it doesn't just look like a box on the card with a picture in it.

Do it up FB!

Anyone else that wants to take a crack at it, feel free!  We'll just take a vote when both [all] submissions are in.

How long would you like FB?

Getting there...I like the color gradient in the bullet points.
Maybe shrink the font size a bit and move it up so that "activism" doesn't look like its sitting on the bottom of the card.
Still not sure how I feel about the font...can you try it with something like a copperplate?

I know you're working hard on this, and I have no idea what I'm talking about here, so I'm sorry I'm being so specific.  I really appreciate your help.

all I think.  And maybe play with the font color of the growery...the blue just doesn't say GROWERY to me

Let's see a dark green to light green gradient.  I know there's a lot of green there already, but maybe pick up the darkest green from one of those fan leaves and fade it down to the lime green of the buds.
I'm really talking out of my ass here...feel way outta my depth.

Agreed, however there is also something to be said for being able to pull the trigger.
If we drag this out too much we lose attention, and then (kind of like the "first ever Growery gathering") it just never happens.

Yeah, to me, it isn't generic, its professional.
The rounded gimmicky fonts scream amateur to me.

I do want to see us strive for the best possible designs that each participant can put out there, so here's my thought:

1 month from today is the deadline for submissions.
From now until the 25th of October, feel free to post up what you have for critiques and suggestions from the members.
All designs can be edited and revamped up until the 25th at which time there will be a one week long voting booth.
The selected design will appear on the card to be distributed as the first phase of our marketing campaign.

Thoughts? Comments?
