I didn't come up with it, I read about someone else doing something similar, can't quite remember where....

It is dazzling, if you can come up with a plan to buy something you can’t use; sell the something you don’t want to someone else, then get a brand new something in exchange for the something you just sold and don’t own anymore; and then have the person you sold the something to, to pay to return that something to the manufacture; then you get a band new something that you CAN use; it’s brilliant

I have to write this down

Back to the couloring give away. I thought you said it was for publicity, if not then it doesn't need you name on it at all. If it is for publicity then it needs to be the best it can be. To make a colouring page look special will cost you very little but the difference in perception of value will be huge.
This for some people will be their first impression of you!

Colin;

I don’t understand your reasoning; everything I produce to giveaway will have my name on it; it is the reason I produce it, for my promotion.

The inside of the coloring book is complete; simple line drawings that a child of any age can fill in or color. The outside has a place holder flower drawing on it, to be replaced later with the drawing of me and Dan. If you pick up and look at any coloring book, it will have black & white line drawings on the inside.

When I am confident of my Ventriloquist routine and my music and magic tricks working to my satisfaction, I will advertise my services to the general public; distributing the coloring book will be part of the promotion.

If I place the books in say a local restaurant, I will then replace the joke page on the back cover with a specific restaurant’s children’s menu, and place it free of charge.

With my name and a drawing on the front cover my name on the back cover, my web site on the inside, how would I improve the value of this promotion?

If the cost of each book increases one cent, with the amount of books I will produce and distribute in San Francisco, the overall cost will be considerable

It is intended for subliminal advertising with my name and web site; to be a simple coloring book for parents to examine, and small children to draw on.

Including the purchasing of crayons to include in the giveaway, I have been able to complete this project within my projected budget.
