From your ideas come action

Mojo already mentioned it in an earlier comment, but I would like to thank everyone who came out for our ModestoFamous community meeting in mid-March. The spirit and feedback was great, and I am pleased to announce we are making progress on some of those ideas offered up.

First, we have removed the registration requirements for the site. I am pleased to see an increase in participation, and hope that trend continues.

Second, we are working on some finishing touches on the Famous Flyer, an electronic newsletter with all things Famous. If there are specific items you would like us to include send a note to Mojo.

A third suggestion of the evening was allowing local businesses to advertise their goods and services on the ModestoFamous site. I am pleased to announce we have created an advertising plan that we think is effective and low-cost.

Long story short - you can have your message delivered via banner ads to our audience for as little as $200 per month, and we are willing to take up to 50% of that as goods and services (tickets, clothing, gift-certificates - you name it. Download our new rate card and check it out for yourself.

If you know someone who might be interested, forward the rate card to them. If they end up signing up and cite you as the person who referred them, we will give you $50. (To be fair, we can only give one person the $50 for each referral - five friends referring the same company won't get $250.)
