my points, that college students can already join the LP for FREE. They
become a member. They get added to our database, and we have their

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Many of us have at one time been poor college students. We know
what it was like. But I have to disagree with the notion that $25 might
as well be $5,000 to a college student. If they have a car, they probably
buy gas at $3-$4 a gallon. If they take girls out on dinner-and-a-movie
dates, they spend more than $25 on that. Etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3

The responses from the college students said they didn't want to part with ANY
money, not that they could part with $10 but not $25. One of the comments
in that file was from someone who has finished college, has a wife, and is
paying off student loans, but still wouldn't part with $25, and they wouldn't
be eligible for the proposed student membership.<br>
<br>
Lots of times the lack of money is a convenient excuse to give when they feel a
need to say something but don't really want to explain the real reason. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

sort of student promotion, there is an easier way than creating a new
membership category and the necessary CRM changes that go with it. Just
have a promotional deal. If you become a party member and send us a copy
of your current student ID card, we'll send you a coupon to get a $10 shirt, or
a $10 backpack, or whatever. I wouldn't want to give promo items that
cost us more than the $10 to purchase and ship), so that we'd be losing money
for every student that joins, but if our costs are covered, wouldn't that
accomplish what you're looking to do?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
