Marketing update

We are almost done with our triple-function business cards/info cards/price tags. John Fletcher, the graphic designer who is kindly helping us with our marketing materials, crafted a whole slew of logos for us to choose from, and we selected the following for its knotty font and anti-Anopheles message.



















We have good things planned on the selling front as well. Lauren Schultz, an artist and fellow student at Colorado College, is planning a crafts sale for April 24. The day after, April 25, is World Malaria Day, and we hope to host an publicizing and educational event then as well. We will also pursue the possibility of selling at Llamapalooza, CC’s annual outdoor music festival.

There are several local stores in the Springs which we are going to approach with our wares – The Leechpit and Poor Richard’s Bookstore figure among them.

Rachel Curtis of Wilkes University is back in her beloved Costa Rica with the OTS Global Health Semester, and she and Profesora Mariace Matamoros will continue their crafty activities there.

Students at UMN-Morris, Duke University, U-Washington, NYU, and Santa Clara University have all offered their expertise with various aspects of the project, and we look forward to working with them!

As always, keep up the good words – your comments, critiques, and questions are greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged or responded to promptly.
