Survey 02: Bulk Black Oil Sunflower Seed (closed)
The Problem
HBO did not seem to be affected by our mass mailings, letters, postcards, etc. Each a piece of paper can be easily disposed of, as can emails and phone messages.

The Proposal
My (ChatAngel) plan involves sending an impressive amount of bulk Black Oil Sunflower Seeds (B.O.S.S.). Bird seed was chosen for several reasons. First, the seed is bulky and hard to ignore; second, the cost is reasonable give the size/weight of the seeds. Third, it is a direct reference to 'John From Cincinnati's' character Zippy and the exotic birds housed within the Bill Jacks' home.

If Zippy can comeback to life then so can JOHN.

In keeping with the environmental themes in JOHN, we do not want the seeds to go to waste. To this end, we will send alerts to animal organizations, including Audubon Societies, in the areas we send the seed and tell them it's there and to contact HBO about picking it up.

Results:
  • There was no clear conclusions to be drawn from the responses that were received.
  • Therefore, the decision was made to put half the money from the general fund towards the seed campaign.
