POIS Donor Database System (PDDS)

You may have just noticed an email appeal in your inbox from us.

This is the culmination - AND beginning - of a database marketing system that has been months in the making, and has finally been LAUNCHED!

The database includes 326 known POIS sufferers, going back as far as 2007, to the beginnings of POIS forums. But it also includes survey respondents from Counterpoints' research survey, and members of this forum as well as the Naked Science Forum.

Apart from my modest contribution, let's all give a big, warm congratulations to The PDDS Team:

Daveman

Martin88

rock27

nordnurse (a/k/a Stefanie from NORD)

This is a major event for us, as we now have a database system in place as sophisticated as any MAJOR fundraiser I've ever worked with, such as Amnesty International, CARE, and March of DIMES.

This is an ongoing effort and will include donor campaigns, newsletters, and much more, so stay tuned!

Hello All,

There is one note of major clarification needed regarding the post by Demografx about the email appeal.

"Apart from my modest contribution, let's all give a big, warm congratulations to The PDDS Team..."

FYI, there was nothing MODEST about Demo's contibution. not even slightly modest about his contribution.  He was full steam ahead on this -- totally involved and a major driving force!

That's Demografx -- never wishing to take the limelight and always boosting up the others.

We won't let him get away with it!!! :)

Is there a possibility to get in touch with Dr Waldinger s POIS patients? to get them into the forum and also to warn them about the NORD funds.

Haha that would be great!  But there are about 1,000 billionaires in the world.  So what's that?  About .00001% if my math is right.  And then about 1% or less of the population has POIS.  So the odds of someone with pois ALSO being a billionaire... not so high  :P.  

Nope, I think we're gonna have to all pull together and fund this research ourselves.  The good news is that the goal is very attainable!  With everyone giving what they can, we can totally do this!

So the pace of donations has been slowing lately.   To combat this, daveman and jivetalk came up with the idea of enticing ppl to donate through a gift for donating.  What do ya'll think of the idea of a Dr. Waldinger signed copy of his Jan 2011 Published Study for anyone making a donation of $100 and up?

Just to say it, the potential issues with this are:
1.) Would Dr. W. be willing to do that for us?   
2.) How would we know who donated - people telling me via PM?  That works, just not very efficiently.

Something like that could be interesting B_D!

I'm sure the details could be worked out.

I have a feeling that a Dr. Waldinger signature is out, but there could be many other interesting themes that could interest our donors. Maybe we could get Demo to lend his signature!

As mentioned earlier, no-one is really going to want to explain the meaning of many of the ideas we could put on a T-Shirt. But we might find something like "I Support Great Sex", or "Big O, V2.0".

Anybody have any ideas?

Somewhere in this interaction with Niacin is the answer!
