If you did it here on allbuffs, how much would that run?
We could set up an online donation link to pay for it.
It really depends on what a client wanted done, and what level share of voice the client wanted. The primary cost comes from buying media, I could probably get the infrastructure set up and tested for a client like the AD in 2-3 days and it would take probably $500-$1,000 to test it out and optimize it properly. From there at the $500 a month level I could grab all the easy low hanging fruit on the social side. I'd also recommend some sequential marketing and basic control of search terms, depending on the client's current traffic levels that could be similar in cost for the testing and maintenance.
The advantage we have going in is that I've already tested most of this **** out on this site so I'd have very little optimization to do specific to CU athletics and could fairly easily get things off the ground, from there it is just a question of what do they want to commit to it.

thanks so much, you guys. You're helping a lot and proving a point. I posted a follow up article:

And other input is appreciated. I fully intend to send our thoughts to the new AD, whenever that happens.

we've been acknowledged a couple times by CU accounts, but I don't ever think by the main account.
wow the cost of hiring kids in Bangladesh has really gone up in recent years.

Just doesn't make sense. But then again, I think we've acknowledged that not a lot that they do does.
I am also worried they will half ass something because it is so easy to get money.

but they already do nothing. How do you half ass nothing? And it isn't easy to get money. It's hard. As it stands, we've raised about 2 weeks of Ralphie's yearly budget. How does that stand against the football budget? Or the facilities fund? We did a kick ass job, and will continue to push the effort, but let's not pretend that this is a major fundraising push. It isn't, and wasn't meant to be. It's a modest push to show that the AD can and should do better. This and all the commente will be sent to the new AD, or maybe to Ceal. That's the point
Thought I would bump this today, the fundraiser picked up a few more participants and is at $1465 with 62 participants.

Or run an other $1000 goal for Track and Field; an other for Soccer, or a specific scholarship, or whatever.
Basically, CU needs to fund a kickstarter campaign.
That'd be a big improvement compared to our current set up: Phil DS on a corner with an empty bucket and a cardboard sign that reads "It's the fans fault".
fify
Is that Phil on the corner of Baseline and Broadway? I always avoided eye contact.
Not enough info. Are you talking about the ineffective beggar over the overturned car on the sidewalk with a bottle of Jim Beam on the dashboard.
With the amazing job that CU_Video does, I think they could make one hell of a campaign video for the facilities upgrades. I don't know why they haven't been brought in to help... well... I know why, it just still doesn't make any sense to me.

It would take just 1,000 people paying $1,000 each to raise $1 million.
It would take just 2,000 people paying $500.00 each to raise $1 million.
It would take just 4,000 people paying $250.00 each to raise $1 million.
It would take just 8,000 people paying $125.00 each to raise $1 million.
It would take just 10,000 people paying $100.00 each to raise $1 million.
And if there are 50,000 people at Folsom Field paying $20.00 each, that's $1 million!
And if there are 100,000 living alumns, it would just take $10.00 each for a cool million.
And if you do this every month, that's $12 million easily raised right there! If that same 50,000 people donated $20.00 every two weeks, that's nearly $25 million raised in one year!!! Wouldn't that $25 million cover the annual bond payments to build all those facilities?
What's my point here in addition to other people on this board? Make it EASY to donate to a SPECIFIC thing. Convince the people that if they gave up a small amount of money in a specific time frame, raising that amount of money would be so easy you couldn't believe it!
That is how Obama was able to raise money when he ran for president in 2008.

50%+ over the goal of 1k. Probably could have hit higher had the initial goal been higher, but as Phil said in one of his pieces he fully expected the stunt to flop when he started.
