I'm in the process of launching ... on a shoe string ... an international
talk show. It will be international by being the first talk show freely and
solely distributed over peer-to-peer networks (Kazaa, WinMX, etc.). Right
now, we're about to do the test shoot for it. Over the last several months,
I've been slowly building the infrastructure for the show and its production
company. To keep start up costs to as little as possible, I've struck
barter deals with an editing company, nightclub (film location), law firm,
and a PR firm. When I tried to see if I could strike a barter deal with
local accounting firms, I came up snake eyes. After posting to this
newsgroup about whether or not an out-of-state accounting firm can do the
books for a business ("Can you use out-of-state accountants?" thread) and
reading the replies, I've decided to expand my search beyond the State of
Wisconsin. What I'd appreciate is your thoughts on the following pitch
letter I've sent to Wisconsin accounting firms. Needless to say, it wasn't
successful. However, a variation of it was successful when approaching
editing, law, and PR companies and nightclubs. Here it is:
"Dear John Doe, President of John Doe Accounting Firm,
I am about to launch a talk show and am looking for an accounting firm that
would be interested in trading their services for advertising on the show.
The advertising offered is a plug as the show's accounting firm at the end
of each episode. The plug would be a still-frame ad that would show your
company's name/logo, website address, and if you like, company slogan and/or
an appropriate photograph (for example, a photo of your staff or exterior of
your building). I, being the show's host, would do the voice-over.
Additionally, the fifth episode would be "The Making of..." episode and you
would be profiled on it and discussion would be done with someone from your
firm about the accounting needs of the show.
The show itself is a panel discussion show which interviews three guests
that have the same interesting/unusual job, business, accomplishment, and/or
subculture. It will be freely and solely distributed over peer-to-peer
networks (Kazaa, Grokster, WinMX, etc.) and thus international from the
start. If you would like to know more about the show, its website is:
www.scottjensenshow.com
If this interests you, please contact me. If you have any questions, reply
and I'll do my best to answer them. If you would like to talk over the
telephone, my number is 608-836-0706.
Sincerely yours,
Scott Jensen
P2P Productions"
Naturally, if this would interest your accounting firm, I'd love to hear
from you. Otherwise, do you have any suggestions on how the email could be
improved to make it more appealing to accounting firms?
