I am getting banners made up...if you are running a skate event, read this !

[skategeezer]

I am prepared to send you out a few cw banners for your event...at no charge
just email what your event consists of and when it it hits

cheers
Michael

It's usually the mag's and companies that pay to have banners at an event. Not the event manager to pay for banners. So wouldn't it be more reasonable that you would pay to have your banners at an event, than just offer them shipped out for free?

Advertising cost $$ these days.

Although I would probably put up a CW banner for free at any event just because CW rocks compared to any other skate mag out there

[Momona Boe]

Races are pretty low key. Usually if you're a race sponsor (donate prize or swag) the promoter will hang your banner somewhere.

Yeah I know.. But it says nothing about donating prizes or swag

I think he's offering them to the little teeny events that most companies wouldn't look twice at or care about. What with concrete wave also being a smallish company, I'm not sure how much they can afford to pay to have advertising at events. At least this way the little guys all get a chance. Yer skaters have cool benners, which they can put up or not put up if they don't like and concrete wave gets some advertising, which has gotta be better than transworld, right?

This makes alot of sence

And as I said earlier, I'd love to put up a CW banner on any event if I had the chance

[skategeezer]

we'll send out some other goodies too...
trust me, the banners ain't going up at the X Games...


but if folks are doing a local event and they want to spread the cw stoke, I sure would appreciate it...and hey, who knows, maybe one day they'll be worth something on ebay!

[Hello my name is]

send me one, ill walk around with it this summer, I wouldn't hang it on the wall

by the way, where can I pick up a copy of the magizine? At like a Barns and Noble or something?

[skategeezer]

B&N have mags...but they usually keep them well hidden
if you are in a shop, be sure to do something for the CW underground and move it to the front rack...



if the mag is tough to find, head onto our website and subscribe..

www.concretewavemagazine.com

you'll get mags sent out 1st class and a few other bonuses...including PATCHES...and stickers, dvd's and calendars and a free trip to the Grand Cayman Islands...


note that the Grand Cayman trip will be awarded to our 25,000th subscriber...

[EBasil]

I'm trying to time my subscription so that I can win the trip to see the town where you do your banking, Michael. Can you give us a warning when you're at about 24,500 or so?

[claude regnier]

You know you benners are always welcome at The Ottawa sk8aprk Athletic Club. We'll bring to our race so you don't have to shp us too many.

Anyway if their not done on time to ship them early I expect they'll be hand delivered.

Hmm, Caymans sound good too. Heard they have a little sk8park of their own

[xxguitarist]

i'm assuming having one at the university of RI skate sessions wouldnt do much for ya, not much publicity other than the 10 or so riders.

[Hello my name is]

personally I think, you should give riders a banner and put an article in the magazine with photos of the banners in peoples local parks
and if I see CW in the B&N I'm gonna cover up all the other magazines with it!

[SteveC]

shipping a mag with stencils is always a good way to get people to put up adds for you.
If you don't mind kids vandalizing for you..

Remember what happened with ATHF and the bombsquad, oh yeah and the dude with the raunchy dreads

[SteveC]

Well It's pretty hard to get graffiti to explode, so....

[AGENT WD-40]

Would you sell a banner? I wouldnt mind buying one to hang in my room next to my Gravity one.
