Affiliate Video Promotion Opportunity

ASA is pleased to announce that we will be adding a dynamic and exciting new feature to our website — rich streaming video.  (Please check out * www.sail.tv or www.watvproductions.com to see an example of how this new feature will look.)

** I would like to invite all of you to submit a two - three minute video promoting and featuring your school so we may host it on the ASA website. 

If you submit your video to ASA before July 1, 2007, there will be no cost to you for this service.  Those submitting a video after that date will be required to pay a  $95 setup fee to cover the costs on our end. 

These video segments will not only be shown under your school’s individual listing on our website, but also be featured on ASA’s home page on a rotating basis.  Keep in mind that ASA’s website traffic has grown dramatically over the past year; the ASA website currently has in excess of 1,280,000 hits per month.

This is your opportunity to showcase your school—your facility, boats, special cruises, unique location or anything else that you believe best promotes your school. 

*** To make a suitable web video, all you really need is an inexpensive consumer video camera and video editing software.  For something a bit more polished, you could contact a small video production company in your area, or ASA.  We can provide you access to a relatively inexpensive video production crew that we use for some of our projects.

This is a tremendous opportunity to publicize your school and drive customers to your website.  I urge you to consider participating.

Thanks,

Charlie
