On the road with Looney tunes …

Loones for Tunes, Amanda Rheaume is trying to tour across Canada and while planning she realized the expense is immense (done it, it’s not cheap to travel across this country, even when you camp most of it). [I can vouch for that - Jon]
So Amanda is appealing to fans and potential new fans, the reason to buy is she wants to tour to your city or a major city near you. If you donate, you can see her. But she’s not asking for “pay what you can” she’s just asking for gas help.
“If everyone I knew tossed me ONE loonie I could probably get pretty far in gas!”
This engagement with fans brings her tour closer to a reality.
The main point, with her “just a loonie” approach, she makes it easy for people to contribute and feel like they are a part of the tour, making it happen as a community. She’s expanding her fan base this way as existing fans will undoubtedly encourage others to donate, after all it’s only a dollar. Those potential donators are gaining exposure to Amanda’s music, this expanding her fanbase further, all the while helping herself out financially.
And that’s exactly where it’s at.
Innovate.
People who care, share.
Stay tuned, and all the best to Amanda …
