Special Internet Marketing Opportunity for TAL Members

The Internet is a very powerful resource that lets people know about our activities. Our website was used about 400 times in February '08 by people seeking information about TAL meetings, classes and exhibits.

We are offering active TAL members an opportunity to have an inexpensive ($25.00/year) webpage on our website to promote your medium(s) and work. The webpage consists of up to 4 graphics and up to 400 words to describe your offerings and how to obtain your services. You need not even own a computer to take advantage of this (though it can help).

Bob Paty BRPPaty@aol.com (267-5546) will be coordinating this for us together ith our webmaster, Dave Rich. You will submit your text to Bob, preferably in a text document, but OK if just clearly handwritten; together with photographs of your work (can include yourself), preferably in digital format, or as actual photographs. For those of you who don't have photos, Bob will arrange for you to have your art work at the Draa Road offices on a specific date for him to take the photos.

You can see examples of what is being done done HERE.

By having your personal webpage on our community directory, people will be able to find you on Google and Yahoo!, as well on our website. We hope that many of our members will take advantage of this offer - just contact Bob.
