Hi all,

Just a thought on how to quickly and effortlessly promote Firefly/Serenity ... Add a reference to it in your email .signature file. For example, here's one of mine

Quote:
*****************************************
"My days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." - Capt Malcom Reynolds to Jane on the brilliant but canceled, yet still alive on DVD and soon to be resurrected on the big screen "Firefly".

I know, it's windy, but you get the idea. Don't know if anyone actually reads those things, but maybe it will pique some interest. And I hope this is a somewhat original and useful idea!

To be really effective, in addition to your favorite quote(s), everyone should add the URL to fireflymovie.com and/or fireflyfans.net

p.s. Be sure not to forget "movie" in the first link. serenity.net is a link to the adult film star Serenity.

I was looking for a new pda last night, when I realized the potential for firefly promotion. In the calendar feature, make a recurring appointment to watch Firefly dvds, so any person picking the thing up will ask, "What are Firefly dvds?" Then use the wireless access to surf to FFF.net. The next person will look at it in wonder and amazement at the beauty of Firefly. There's at least a half-a-dozen on display on any given day. Stores like bestbuy, compusa, and circuit city have pda displays and sell dvds. It could work.

I've been posting Quotes and Links to this site in all the Sub Command missions I post at my web site ( www.geocities.com/billds9). Don't know how effective it has been, but if only a few people buy a FF DVD set becuse of it I think its worth it.

Good idea, just make sure you proofread the quote, lest they not get the joke.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

My son is currently using this Jayne quote as his AIM auto-response when he is away:

One time six men came to kill me, and the best of them carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto lock. Customized trigger. Double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun.

I call it Vera.

To everyone who noticed the error in my original post, thank you! Good thing I hadn't used it yet.

So, Jane is a girl's name, but when it's spelled Jayne it's not, huh?

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Not a bad idea.

I think anything we can do, anything at all, to promote Firefly & the movie "Serenity" will pay off in the end.

I am constantly doing things to promote the show and now the movie. I loan out the DVD set, use quotes from the show, have screen caps hanging up in my office, and pitch the series to new people. I also cruise the DVD sections at stores and make sure they have the set, if not, I will ask employees about it. I will face the set out on display, and if I see someone checking out Sci Fi DVDs, I recommend Firefly.

I am going to print off some fliers this afternoon from 11th Hour's site to post in stores (w/ permission of course) locally to advertise the DVD set & the movie.

Actually, its still a girl's name spelled Jayne.
However, don't say that in front of OUR Jayne, 'cause he'll assure you he has "man-parts", and if you hesitate for a second, he'll prove it by showing you.
