To enter your distribution story, simply fill out the form below or e-mail us at contact@the-undercurrent.com. If you decide to send your story via e-mail, please include your name, address, and the location of your distribution efforts. We encourage you to send in pictures or videos that go along with your story about handing out copies of The Undercurrent! The video in this blog post is a great example of a good entry. You can also view the winners from last years distribution contest to get some inspiration!
We’re more likely to utilize a story on our website if it is highly detailed as well as enthusiastic. When you handed out your copies, did you go to a high-traffic area of campus or to a Tea Party? Was the crowd receptive to your presence? Did you hear any interesting comments from first time readers of the paper? Did you discover any great distribution strategies while handing out TU? How many copies of the paper did you give away?
Alternatively, if you don’t have any distribution stories from handing out previous editions of The Undercurrent, you can share the plans you have for distributing TU in 2011 with us. Tell us if you’ll hand out TU at a special event or leave them on a newspaper stand. Include relevant details like whether you’ll stamp your club contact information on your copies or discuss article content at a club meeting. The more details you include, the better!
