[Nfb-web] Promoting the Coin

[Wunder, Gary]

Susie, I think this was forwarded by Dave and Fred probably doesn't monitor this list. I'll send you an update off list.

Dear Colleagues,

We are exactly two months into sales of the Louis Braille commemorative silver dollar, and we have sold nearly 160,000 coins as a result of our efforts.
However, we must continue to keep the momentum high if we are to sell all 400,000 coins by the end of the year.

I am writing to all of you today to ask each affiliate to place a link on its website which will direct visitors to the mint to purchase a Braille coin.
You are encouraged to place a link to
www.braille.org
  as well, but our primary focus at this time is bolstering sales of the coin itself.

Below is a link to the mint's press image library. There you will find photos of the coin that you can use to add depth to your affiliate's site. I have also included sample text that you can add to describe the link and the reason for it.

Image Library:
http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=Photo

Link to purchase coins:
http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&identifier=4000 


Sample text: There are 293 different ways to make change FOR a dollar.
Do you know ONE way YOU can make change WITH a dollar?

Purchase a Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar and $10 will be donated to

the National Federation of the Blind to help stop the Braille literacy crisis in America.

Make change with a dollar and change what it means to be blind.


Thank you for all of your help in making this campaign a success.

Sincerely,

Fred Schroeder
