Our first retreat of the season is coming up here this weekend and, well, honestly, we've been beset by marketing problems. How and where do you get the word out to the people who will most connect with the idea of what we're trying to accomplish with Creative Wanderer -- which is to really open people up to their own creative natures? Of course there's social networking. We've been hitting that pretty hard. There's also Craig's List, which is good, but still has an aura of the snake oil salesman to it, at least for me.

This early in the project we can't, unfortunately, afford to go the traditional advertising routes of tv and radio. Those avenues are iffy, at best, anyway in these days of waning interest in the traditional media and increased usage of online-ness. Though various Public Radio/TV outlets might be good venues to try.

Oh, and we've also got flyers to put up. Heh. Ahhh, good old staples and bulletin boards.

So we're plugging along, but if you have any ideas, we'd love to hear them. Drop us a comment, below. Cheers -- Patrick...
