Help promote B5: LotR
In an effort to help promote the upcoming [b]Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers[/b] movie, the Sci-Fi Channel's scifi.com website has sent out this newsletter to subscribers asking for suggestions and help:
[quote]
As most of you know, RANGERS is both a stand-alone movie and a pilot for a potential series. That means the better the movie does in the ratings, the better chance there will be for an ongoing RANGERS show. SCI FI will be launching a traditional marketing campaign in the coming months to support the movie, but we’d also like to try something that’s never been done before: we’d like to add you to the RANGERS support team.
We know BABYLON 5 fans are among the most passionate fans on the planet, and we also know that you want what we want: to see more BABYLON 5 on the air. So we’d like to enlist BABYLON 5 fans who want to help us with a grassroots effort aimed at attracting new viewers to Rangers. Here is how you can help:
YOUR IDEAS
->Send us your ideas about how fans could best help promote/support the movie, keeping in mind that the goal is to reach sci-fi fans who would not ordinarily tune into a BABYLON 5 movie.
OUR IDEAS
->Let us now if you think invitations, T-shirts and downloadable flyers (that can be printed and handed out and/or posted) with tune-in information would be useful for B5 fans to give out and/or wear in order to get other people to watch the movie.
CAR WRAPS
->If you are a fan who owns a car and frequently drives in the New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Washington, Detroit or Atlanta metropolitan areas, and you would be willing to have your car “wrapped” in advertising for RANGERS, please let us know. The types of cars most suited for wrapping are:
Plymouth - P.T. Cruiser
Volkswagen - Beetles, Jettas
Lincoln – Navigator
Ford - Explorer, Expeditions, Excursions, F-150, Dulies, All Vans
GMC - Jimmy, All Vans
Chevy - Astro Vans, Conversion Vans, All commercial Vans
Dodge - Durango, Ram Trucks
Nissan - Pathfinder, Extera, Maxima
Honda - Civic
BMW - M-3
Please send your ideas to [email]b5rangers@www.scifi.com[/email] and/or indicate your interest in having your car wrapped by Wednesday, Oct. 24.
And please visit http://www.scifi.com/b5rangers for the latest news and updates on the series.

[b]Entil'Zha, wouldn't telling your parents that "it's all the kids fault" be self incrimination? I think the constitution makes it so you don't have to do that. heheh [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

I ment i was going to blame it on MY kids, I've got a 3 and a 13 year old, i was going to say that they are the ones who did it [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

..And so it Begins
[b]How about showing it worldwide, and releasing B5 in DVD season box set?
[/b][/quote]
Yeah, I'd go for that. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

No plan survives first contact with reality.
Well placed advertisements?
Promos on the networks?
News articles?
Whatwould interest you in, say, a new addition to the Star Trek universe? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

Those cars deserve a wrap!
[b]Alaric: turn the question around. What would it take to get [i]you[/i] to watch a show you do not think you would like?
Well placed advertisements?
Promos on the networks?
News articles?

Possibly, none of those things. If I don't think I'll like it then it would take some serious advertising to change that.
A trusted friend on the other hand could persuade me. I first heard of B5 through a friend who said it was good. I checked it out, I felt he was correct.

Works for me!
Sanfam: Did it ever occur to you that you may possibly be obsessed with that car? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
