Ask not what Firefly can do for you, but what can you do for Firefly?

You do know that writing on money is illegal. But don't let that stop you. Just thought that you should know.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Well, George Bush has broken the law an awful lot since he took office so i was only influenced by the president.

If the government cared i think they would have www.wheresgeorge.com under close watch and track everybody there down.

Yes it's illegal, but there's pretty much no risk of getting caught. Every place I've spent "Firefly money" at either doesn't notice or accepts it and asks what it's about. It gives me a good opportunity to tell people how awesome firefly is! This happened when I got the DVD set and the girl at the counter wanted to know all about the show. I think I may have converted her because she seemed really excited and said she was gonna get the set and watch it.

Hey, Guerilla Marketing should always include some good old fashioned "Wild Posting". I've designed some black and white Firefly poster art for this very purpose. This art can be printed on any printer: ink jet, laser, etc., no color required. One printout can then be used to make lots of photocopies. A low cost way to get Firefly out in the public eye.

Posters can be placed on fences, construction barriers, buildings, utility posts, and so on. Just make sure not to place them in an obviously inappropriate, or illegal, location. They are designed to be bold and direct in design. They have just enough info to tease the curiosity about Firefly and pique peoples' interest. They are meant to be "arty" and in the rebel guerilla marketing spirit.

Below are some links to view and/or download poster files. In order to avoid having the actual posters automatically load here, the word "BOO" has been placed before the URL. Just use the address after that to access the files.

To VIEW the posters first, without downloading the large print files, here's the links:

BOOhttp://home.att.net/~srt.art/zoe-poster-view.jpg
BOOhttp://home.att.net/~srt.art/river-poster-view.jpg
___________________________________________

For PRINTING the posters, these are links to download high resolution files:

BOOhttp://home.att.net/~srt.art/zoe-poster.gif

BOOhttp://home.att.net/~srt.art/river-poster.gif
_________________________________________________

When the above files are first downloaded, your browser window may look completely black or white, which may look like the link didn't work. But the poster is there, it's just VERY LARGE and more than filling the browser window.

*** Just scroll to the side or down and you'll start seeing the rest of the poster ***

~ The "Outlaw", "Rebel" and "Zoe" poster work well as 11" x 17" posters. Just print them as large as you can and they can be enlarged on a copier that uses 11" x 17" sheets. I've made several poster copies this way and they look great... especially on colored paper like yellow or orange. Lots of impact!
~ River's poster is more "artistic" and reads better when viewed more closely. Her's would do well on a bulletin board, or similar display.

This is another way that we can keep the Firefly buzz going. The posters promote both the DVDs and awareness of Firefly... and they're fun!

11thHour, I read your instructions, but I am definitely seeing either broken links or images that won't load. Can anyone else see the posters?

I'm happy to say that I did a small part this weekend.

I was in my local Best Buy about a week ago and I noticed that they had finally gotten more stock of the DVD set. 4 copies were on the shelf.

I was back this Saturday and I noticed that there were 2 copies left and they were spined. So I took it upon myself to face them. I went back yesterday (Sunday) and there was only one copy left. So I took the remaining faced copy and moved it to edge of the shelf so it could be better seen.

Made me happy to think that maybe I had some small part in getting that one set sold. I'm planning to go back this week and check on the last one.

I made a few T-shirts for myself. You can buy paper you you print images on the iron on to your shirt. I highly suggest doing this, so that people will be like, "What's firefly?" and then you can explain it too them, and hopefully get them to buy the DVDs or rent them, or something...

Yay! I'm glad I found this thread. I'm a long time fan, but a newbie to this site (actually of discussion boards in general) and I've been wondering just what I could do to help spread the word. The money idea is great, and I'm glad to find I'm not the only one who rearranges the DVD section in stores! I also intend to start sneaking into random rooms at my college and writing pro-Firefly stuff on the chalkboard.

Does anyone make Firefly shirts that I could buy?
