Renting is cool. Just want to spike it all on that day. Even better if they have no copies left and therefore people asking for it!!! Get in early...clean 'em out.

And if you're using Netflix or Blockbuster Online, clear your viewing list so that it only reflects "Serenity" that week.
Make it the number one rental, too!

I think it'd be better to wait until it's number 2 and then buy it, so you can get it to number 1 again, and have a claim like "Amazon's number 1 average ranking DVD seller for x weeks". Amazon has a average ranking, highest, and lowest, for the product for every day.
This'd be better than blowing it all on one day, since sales numbers aren't made public. It also helps by listing Serenity longer on prominent Amazon pages.
Perhaps the purchases should be spread around a bit more than just on Amazon. There are many, many ways to purchase the Serenity DVD. It'd be a good idea to buy it all kinds of ways, online and in-store.
It'd make for a more robust campaign if it took place in all kinds of retail outlets.

Finally, something 11thHour and I agree on!
Spread the sales! Our local outlets need our support as well. If they look at their books and see "Oh, we only sold two copies of "Serenity" in June" they aren't going to keep extra copies on the shelves. Spread the sales, spread the love!
(Also, when I was in Fred Meyers and Target yesterday, I .. (bad Ertia) rearranged the impulse-buy/counter-side dvd displays and put Serenity on them. I HATE customers like me.

Just a tidbit...
In Park Royal in Vancouver, the Future Shop has it for sale as its #18 best seller, 4 months after release. Sweet.
I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

Wasn't the plan supposed to do it on ONE day because, well, this is supposed to be special and we're buying the DVDs once in a while, anyways?
This is supposed to be an EVENT that is noticed and gets us Browncoats a little excited, motivated and active again (which works better if we all order it from the same source, since they will probably run out of stock and have to reorder thousands of copies. Amazon is the logical choice - and very easy.). Did you miss what caused all of this? 
I'm sorry about my sig, I changed it in my profile but since I don't have the time right now I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow evening to remove all the =========s from all my posts. 
I didn't notice the whole Brownshirt thing because I just didn't make the connection from Browncoats to Nazis. In connection with ARMY and WE AIM TO MISBEHAVE ON A CERTAIN DAY, that slogan could sound quite threatening to the uninitiated, I agree. I came up with it (and am now a bit ashamed that I missed the analogy, being German myself), and I won't object to changing it. It should still have some kind of OOMPH, though. And the ONE ONE ONE thing was my POINT, because there were too many plans for too many days around. I wrote that sounding a tad more theatralic once somewhere.
(Just for the record, I'm by no means a Nazi. )

Ouuuch. Yeah, maybe we just oughta stick with the Firefly/Serenity Day thing. That's just a little too attention grabbing for my liking, and not in a good way.
Yes, though: one day. one action...because EVERYONE can do it. Letter writing, screenings, flyering, mainstream media...I love it all but let's keep the focus sharper n' a steelheeled stiletto.
Did a banner get decided on? Or are we using a range?
ALSO: what about contacts for Universal?
What day is (a) name (b) banner (c) action (d?) letter etc. being decided on? Also, is there any chance of couple of flyers being devised for the day, once it all gets decided? (hint, hint, 11th hour please, please, pretty please and I'll send you strawberries?? Well, donations anyway...?)

P.S. Sameertia, I've been playing 'rearrange the shelving arrays' too! It's sooo much fun.

Please check the Browncoat Army: Banner thread for dates and any other information. MalNourished is now coordinating this.

11thHour? Your our resident flyer genius... *nudge nudge* Can I tempt you with some egg rolls?

DOH! I broke my own bandwidth! The images I put in this thread will be up again as soon as my downloads fall back within my allowance and I'll re-edit them to include the new requirements and send them our Sargeant In Charge of Imagery.

A PLEA.
Hey'all
Listen, FollowMal and I are compiling a list of websites to hit with publicity about this lil' ruckus, once all banners/slogans/signatures/
letters/flyers/ACTION (most importantly)have been decided.
Thanks to CaptainJosh, Silences and all who have already posted lists of links. If anyone else has any more obscure ones (especially globally!), could you email me at rachel_mccrum@hotmail.com? Or FollowMal at followmal@gmail.com.
Cheers, darlins.
