I've posted on a number of important subjects relative to the advancement of The Gnomes of New Hope, on various forums including LinkedIn and Facebook. So check those forums as well.
But after reading the latest edition of The Bucks County Herald, I realize that the summer season of Festivals is a market that we need to be on top of. Yes, we have the developing GnomeFest, and maybe GnomeFest could be a traveling part of The Gnomes of New Hope? After all, we are developing the parade float aspect of this. So, as I write this, I'm thinking that the parade float/portable stage should be the way we present at numerous summer festivals. I guess the original concept was to be a presentation at The New Hope Arts Festival, so maybe returning to that idea, now with the ability to expand into other markets, is the best approach. Hey, a portable stage for puppetry eliminates renting a theatre. Not to say we won't also hit the bricks, when the time is right. The whole point of all these years of development was to prep the material to broach numerous markets thoroughly. We're almost there, it's only a matter of careful planning and implementation of production management. The Core Creative Materials are richly developed so we will never run into a dead end. So we have literally decades of open-ended possibilities before us, clearly there is more life in The Gnomes of New Hope than there is in me. So the trick is getting this up and on it's own feet.
I'm working out a commission structure for the sales department. I'd rather leave all that up to the Board of Directors, but I'm still setting that up. Look for some if the Business Plan getting posted on IMS Producing Partners.
