"As for the future, your task is not to forsee it, but to enable it." Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Plan ahead. New evidence for Americans on all "sides"
Let American voters know that most abortions are unwanted or coerced; that coercion comes in many forms and often from all sides; that personal coercion can escalate to violence; and that many women suffer heartbreaking aftereffects as a result of coercion and abortion. Use our introductory small ads, flyers and postcards during upcoming events. They are a good way to inform people who are new to this issue--and that is most Americans.
Plan a pro-woman/pro-life signature ad for January, or use our Christmas/Holiday ads Check out our new pro-life/pro-woman Signature Ad and plan now to run it in your area. Or, use the smaller, no-signatures version as a Bulletin Insert, handout, ad, etc.
Remember, small local publications can be effective. You needn't buy an expensive ad in the local newspaper.
Also, keep in mind that ads work best when run at least three times; preferably six or more before people really get and remember the message and are motivated to act on it.
So, if you can run a small ad such as the one shown here -- even if it's a bulletin or newsletter insert -- along with the bigger ad, your advertising will be that much more effective.
Evidence-based tools you can use. Many sizes and formats,
- Small ads in bulletins, newsletters, classifieds -- not just in local newspapers, but campus, civic, trade or smaller local publications
- Outreach to leaders & public -- Letters to the editor, Letter to pastors, press releases, letter to politicians, etc.
- "Business card" messages & postcards to mail or to use as handouts. Carry cards with you to share with others. Some are formatted for Avery or other card stock sold at retailers, to fit 10 per page. Or, just take our original 10-per-page template to a printer to print quantities.
- "What Every American Needs to Know" -- postcard and flyer.
- "Mix & Match" menu of ads and flyers -- for general audiences.
- Campaign ads to use "as is," without alterations.
