United Bimmer Ad in Roundel - United Bimmer Community

**komodo** · 03-15-2006, 10:24 PM

** Split off of this thread for new discussion and clearity on topic**

I'd really like to look into getting an ad in Roundel.

I looked up the prices:
http://www.bmwcca.org/members/AM/Tem...n=viewRateCard

We'd want full color most likely, so:

Quote:

Full Page $2,563
2/3 Page $1,898
1/2 Page $1,565
1/3 Page $1,154
1/4 Page $950
1/6 Page $692
1/12 Page $398

This is totally do-able.

I vote we start raising money through donations, and however much we raise, is the size we get. I'd be willing to go in for a few hundred dollars at least.

What do you guys think?

Edit: Plenty of interest has peaked from this. If you would like to donate, please send paypal payments to our account at paypal@unitedbimmer.com and include in the comments it's for the UB Roundel Ad.

I'll keep a running total updated on here.

That would be crazy. I love my roundels. Best magazines EVAR. If you get a spot, put a picture of my car in there.

I'd chip in some to that, what would the ad be?

**doughboyea** · 03-15-2006, 10:30 PM

What is the level of exposure that you would get from Rondel? What about other mags? European Car perhaps or what else?

We could just print up fliers online and then place them on the windshields of every BMW we see.

The reason I like Roundel is because we'd have 100% of the target market, which is unheard of in advertising.

100% of the readers of Roundel would make great members of our forum. No other magazine would offer a percentage nearly that high.

Circulation is around 75,000. More circulation info can be found here:

Damn that is very good for an audience of nothing but BMW drivers and/or fans.

Roundel is the official magazine of the BMW Car Club of America... that's why.

I kinda like it

**c1apton** · 03-15-2006, 10:39 PM

I'd donate for the cause.

**RSF5** · 03-15-2006, 10:42 PM

If it was a cool ad that would definitely attract a lot of attention. It would be awesome.

We'd make sure it was a great ad.

I might even have a professional graphic artist design it locally if we get enough interest.

Harry, wouldn't it be easier if you just give us a paypal email or something in order to donate to.... just like the other thread you made... you keep saying u'd like some donations and alot of us are willing, but no way to donate.

Also for something like this, nothing would be published or decided until everyone has discussed it on UB. This is the perfect example of how our community has an edge over so many others out there. I'm just an organizer of everything. We'd ultimately do what you guys decide.
