NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



The Publicity Committee lield a twu- 

 day meeting on January 21st and 22nd 

 in Cliicago, at which working; plans 

 were formulated for the 1920 Cam- 

 paign, and in greater part adopted. 

 There is to be no let-up in the activi- 

 ties of the Campaign, and the maga- 

 zine advertising is to be as persistent 

 as ever. 



The Committee were greatly pleased 

 at the reports they had received as to 

 the results of the Campaign. Many 

 florists making these reports had 

 taken particular pains to record con- 

 versations had with new and old cus- 

 tomers, from which it was quite evi- 

 dent that the Campaign was produc- 

 ing good business. Some of these re- 

 ports referred to a noticeably great in- 

 crease in the demand for flowers for 

 anniversary gifts. The request that 

 our slogan appear on the cards sent 

 with such gifts was very general, and 

 showed a disposition on the part of 

 the public to adopt the slogan to their 

 own use. 



We most surely have a wonderful 

 slogan, one serving two purposes. We 

 can easily understand why publicity 

 experts con.sider it to be an asset we 

 should value at more than a million 

 dollars. It is really worth many mil- 

 lions to us, and properly perpetuated it 

 should produce business each year 

 equal to its valuation. It would not be 

 wrong to say it is doing it already. 



And yet there are thousands of flor- 

 ists who, through their negligence in 

 the support of our Campaign, do not 

 appear to value the slogan very highly. 

 Or is it that they are careless, or quite 

 content to let their more generous 

 brethren bear the expense of making 

 the slogan a "household phrase?" We 

 would ask these careless ones just 

 what it would be worth to them to 

 have "Say it with Flowers" quoted or 

 suggested in every good family in their 

 respective communities daily, or even 

 a portion of these families. Our ad- 

 vertisements in the magazines should 

 be doing this very thing, and to be 

 sure that they are doing it, the slogan 

 should appear in every magazine of 

 consequence. It would, if the proper 

 support were given the Publicity Com- 

 mittee. The Committee are limited 

 only by the amount of the funds at 

 their disposal. If they could have the 

 support whnch now they have right 

 and reason to expect, they could accom- 

 plish their full purpose instead of hav-
