Re: [AlpacaTalk] Let them eat cake.
Hi Gary,
The first web site I ever visited was I Love Alpacas, and I ended up buying from one of the farms listed.? The only reason it was the first site I visited was it was the ad I saw on TV (not an AOBA ad) after I read something about alpacas in the local newspaper.? But I have noticed that the farms listed in my region have decreased since the first time I visited it in 2004.? I also haven't seen an ILA ad in a long time.? I still would love to be on the listing, but 5K is a big chunk of change for me.? But the point of it (from what I have read from both Libby and Jerry) is to have it a smaller community of about 100 farms.
Basically I see all advertising as good advertising.

Heather:
Are you a member of I Love Alpacas?
I called & it's like $5,000 a year. Is anybody else here on there?
I was wondering if the benefit was worth the money.
Also is anybody having any luck with Alpaca Street?
I see a little traffic from there, but not that much.
I'm less than a year into this, but I have some opinions.
The main opinion is that the growth in the industry is going to
come from new people, not existing farms.
So marketing most anything except breedings to existing farms is
not very effective.
I have some ideas that I would like to get some feedback on, but
would like to hear from some of the people here first on the above.
Thanks,
Gary Simpson

Wooooo! Looky what came in the inbox this afternoon!
Pre-Sale Stall registration until Dec 19 is ONLY $225 per stall! Which
can house 2 animals.
On or after Jan 12, price is $275.
I have no idea how much it might cost between Dec 19 and Jan 12.
And they just don't understand why membership and participation is
down, and so many shows have been cancelled.
AOBA, the membership has no bread!
