tealinYesterday I was contacted by Fandango about offering Harry Potter movie ticket presales through my website.
This isn't the first time I've been approached by a company for Potter-related merchandise tie-ins, and my first reaction was the same as it has been in the past, namely 'Bah! I am no corporate stooge! Begone with ye!' But while I felt confident in my role as arbiter of taste by depriving my audience of life-sized Potter movie wall decals, movie tickets are another thing ... and while I make a comfortable wage at my day job and don't need the promised commission fees, someone could probably use them.
Now, I don't know how much I'm likely to make off this, or how it is to be paid, or if it only counts for Potter ticket presales, but I thought I might get involved and send whatever profits come of it to flood relief in Pakistan. But I wanted to check with the people who actually use my site* before I went ahead with anything.
Would you tolerate a potentially flashy and ugly banner on my site for a good cause?
Would you actually use the service?
Please leave a comment and let me know ...
*I use it, but mostly as an online drawing library ... it is remarkably handy.
