Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Check off the kind of marketing YOU want!
Heather:
If I agree with your logic, then advertising my custom made waste-free hay feeders, my special alpaca-specific pooper-scoopers, etc., would all be acceptable because everyone could benefit from them. Advertising transport services or other services that "anyone could benefit from" would also be acceptable.
My two-cents worth is that you need to either allow or disallow all advertising. You might decide to allow "announcements" of AOBA-affiliate sponsored shows or some such class, but in fact a show in Virginia is really not something of interest to me in Washington. Of course, at the end of the day, if's your list and your decision.
