In April, when the print version of this publication ends and it goes exclusively ONLINE,

The Zephyr will lose its subscription revenues and depend entirely on advertising

AND a very key part of its future...THE BACKBONE.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WELL THIS WILL WORK...IT DEPENDS ON YOU.

FIRST...because I am cutting out most of the costs associated with printing & distribution,

AD RATES will be much lower. Here are the proposed rates:

Shrunken ad: $40 1/8 page ad: $59 1/4 page ad: $89 1/3 page ad: $130

These rates are from 40% to 50% cheaper than the print ads.

AND REMEMBER...THESE ARE BI-MONTHLY RATES
...ANYWHERE FROM $.75 TO $2 A DAY.

(Even a CHEAP cup of coffee is less than this.)

YOU CAN NOW PAY FOR YOUR AD OR JOIN THE BACKBONE WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD

GO TO: WWW.CANYONCOUNTRYZEPHYR.COM

and look for the "Pay for your AD or the BACKBONE here with your credit card"

IF YOU CAN'T ADVERTISE, THEN CONSIDER JOINING THE BACKBONE...

In the future, the BACKBONE will be critical to The Zephyr's survival.

A BACKBONE MEMBERSHIP IS $100 A YEAR....$275 FOR 3 YEARS....
$1000 FOR A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP

All memberships include your cartoon which will appear in each issue.
THE GOAL IS 100 BACKBONE MEMBERS BY NEXT YEAR.

I'm going to add some options: THE FUNNYBONE:
$50, with your name on the page but without a cartoon.

...and last but not least, you can give The Zephyr...THE FINGER: $25...
no glory but our undying thanks.

HERE'S THE OTHER WAY YOU CAN HELP...

SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS & ANYONE ELSE'S WHO YOU THINK

MIGHT WANT TO READ THE ONLINE ZEPHYR.

This won't work if nobody reads the Z...I need as many email addresses as I can find.

When each issue goes online, readers will be notified by email that it is available.

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
