Full Version: Hearts Full of Soul for Taylor-Act Now-Promo Ends 7/15
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
New England Soul Patrol, you’re being called into service!   Join us in a campaign to help Taylor promote his new book!

NESP is joining Random House in a contest and promotion called Hearts Full of Soul for Taylor. Random House is donating signed copies of Heart Full of Soul for the contest, which will run from June 30 to July 15 to coincide with the release of the book.

What are we asking? Simply that you purchase copies of Taylor's book. The top 5 purchasers will receive a signed copy of the book. In addition, everyone purchasing a book will be entered into a raffle to be eligible to win a signed book. The list of purchasers will also be forwarded to Taylor’s team to start an email list for future promotions. All fans are welcome to participate and help spread the word.

The goal is to get the book in as many public libraries across the country (and world) as we can. Soul Patrollers would purchase a book and donate it to their local library to spread Taylor’s word and music to as many people as possible. This effort would give Taylor great PR for years to come. They can sign the inside cover with their name and “Soul Patrol.” We will compile a list of each town/library that has received the gift of a book and forward that to Taylor so he can see the scope of how many people he has touched with his special talents and spirit. People could also donate books to after school programs, Boys and Girls Clubs, purchase an audio book for a school for the blind, give them as gifts, etc.

The last time Taylor asked the Soul Patrol to rally he won American Idol. Let’s show him we’re behind him on his newest venture with just as much enthusiasm. Let’s have all the fan sites participate together and show him some serious numbers! Make Taylor proud and give back to him just a token of what he has given to all of us.

Thanks for all of your support!

This sounds like such a fantastic promotion for a good cause! And we all benefit too! Smile

I hadn't even thought about purchasing my copy yet, so here is a great opportunity. I am a member of TOSP and Harmonica Bay, so I'll encourage this on the other sites too.
Two questions - well I guess three -

Are we the only site participating in this? (Haven't been to any others tonight...)
Can we post this on other sites?
Will the books be shipped for arrival on July 10?
Hi Amy, We designed the contest/promotion for all sites to participate
in, so yes-please post everywhere you can think of and spread the
word. I figured you'd bring it over to Boogie,etc. We're trying to make
it an effort for the whole Soul Patrol-united to support Taylor Huggy

Not sure re arrival date. Probably depends on how early you order.
It's only a 2 week promo so it all has to happen quickly.

I just hit a bunch of sites...TMS, Patrol the Soul, Gypsee's, HQ, his
myspace, Taylor's Legs, Tay-Online, Harmonica Bay, Harmony
& Taylor's Way Yahoo group, and sent a bulletin out to my myspace
friends (basically a collection of Soul Patrollers). Woohoo

Will people put it on TOSP, Music Maven, MonkBot,Whomp Swamp,
MJs,TaylorHicksFan,Seasons of the Soul,etc.?Highfive
I'm on it! Smile (well the Boogie anyway...)

Does this mean it won't be posted on TOSP by you? Should I post it? And the Whomp Swamp doesn't allow posting, but they might be open to a special thread. It needs to be discussed with the mods.

Pat, that would be great if you'd post it on TOSP-I don't think I can
post there, not enough posts yet. Also, if you know mods on Whomp
Swamp maybe they would announce it. They are always promoting

I put it on at TaylorHicksFan !

Edited to say.. it has been taken off and sent to Brian, the head moderator .. something about links to other sites. Brian is cool and we go way back so I hope he will let it be posted there !

Thank you so much for offering to help Taylor on this promotion Everyone!

I will talk to Random House this week and ask them for a delivery date range. The book is coming out on July 10th and they will probably fulfill orders in the order they receive them. I have been working with Random House for several weeks on this project. Liz, Tricia and I have worked together to design the contest details. They are just great!

The Hearts Full of Soul Project is specific to NESP.

I will be receiving the autographed books on July 12th. They will be sent out to those who order the most books once the numbers are tallied at the end of the promotion and to those that win the raffle!

Don't forget to order a book for your local library!

If you do post on other Taylor Hicks fan sites, please include the link to make it easier for everybody to find on our website. Here it is below:

Also, please ask the mods of the sites if they will sticky the promotion for you or make a formal announcement.

Again, thanks to all those involved. Stay tuned for lots of exciting details to come! Highfive
