The research project is over now, but I want
you to know that we got more response from the ad at Feminist.com
than any other form of advertising. We played an ad
on the local radio, and placed advertising in the
newspaper and our own newsletter. Additionally, we
posted flyers in three towns. Next to Word of Mouth,
the classified ad at Feminist.com got us the most
attention. Thanks for the opportunity!
From Linda Hogan, President, Wild Women Enterprises
It is a lot harder getting noticed on the Internet than most people think.
Being listed on search engines is necessary, but I've found the most
effective way of reaching our customers is to be connected to Feminist.com.
It's a site that we're proud to be a part of. Keep up the good work.
From Debra Baker Beck,
Communication Committee chairperson,
National Women's Studies Association
Feminist.com is a lifeline that allowed the National
Women's Studies Association to establish a presence on
the World Wide Web. Coordinating NWSA's communication activities presents many challenges:
its members and target audiences
are nationwide, its potential impact is global, its budget
is minuscule -- and it's powered
by volunteers. Feminist.com
allowed us to enter the "information
superhighway" and reach a
worldwide audience when it otherwise would not have been
possible for us.
Feminist.com
is a priceless resource of
feminist news and networking, a boon to the movement and
those who toil within it.
We are truly grateful for
the support Feminist.com has
given our organization, and
for the opportunities that
having a web presence has
opened up for us.
From R.A.I.N.N. (The Rape,
Abuse & Incest National Network)
Feminist.com's support of
the Rape, Abuse & Incest National
Network has been tremendously
valuable for sexual assault
survivors across America.
By hosting and linking to
RAINN's web site, Feminist.com
has helped us to reach
thousands of survivors who
are suffering in silence to
let them know that hope is
only a phone call away. Founded
in 1994 with the help of singer
Tori Amos, RAINN's hotline
- the only national sexual
assault hotline - has already
helped nearly 200,000 survivors.
We are grateful for the assistance
of Feminist.com, one of RAINN's
earliest supporters, in raising
awareness of the hotline.
Feminist.com is among a growing
list of RAINN sponsors that
include Atlantic Records,
Warner Music Group, Calvin
Klein, Inc., Lifetime and
WNNX-99X/Atlanta.
From Third Wave
Third
Wave's constituency is mostly
young women, who are scattered
across the United States in
small communities and big
cities. To reach our members
and keep them up-to-date on
our activities, we rely on
many means of communication
and the Internet is quickly
topping that list. Thanks
to the generosity of Feminist.com
for housing Third Wave, we
have been able to create a
community of young women on
the worldwide web and to network
and mobilize this community.
This generosity has also meant
that Third Wave can keep our
expenses down by not having
to add this expense to our
existing ones. This relationship
has also meant that we are
a part of instant coalition
building. Taken together,
we are building a social justice
movement on the World Wide
Web.
From Verna S. Cook, Executive
Director, Black Women in Sisterhood
for Action (BISA)
Feminist.com
has been a tremendous support.
Many persons continue to contact
BISA for information. We have
increased our membership with
persons in New York, Mississippi,
Tennessee, and New Jersey.
Our page [on Feminist.com]
has sparked a lot of interest
in our work. We get many requests
for scholarship support, advice
on women's issues, and free
literature. Thanks for your
support. BISA is grateful
for your sharing of your resources
with us.
From Dr. Sally Caldwell,
Author and Researcher
It
goes without saying that your
site has been (and continues
to be) instrumental in my
Romantic Deception research.
There is no other way that
I could have reached such
a wide audience. I knew that
a traditional approach wouldn't
work. Besides costing me thousands
of dollars, a traditional
survey would have coughed
up little more than a mound
of stale responses to a highly
structured questionnaire.
From the beginning, my goal
was to find rich data--highly
personal accounts from women
who had been targets of Romantic
Deception. I gave the Web
a pretty thorough search before
locating Feminist.com. Placing
an ad [on Feminist.com] was
the best decision I made since
I began the project. Thanks
to the Feminist.com site,
I now have rich data.
I should also tell you that
your site visitors are a pretty
diverse bunch. You name a
characteristic; it's probably
represented by one or more
respondents who contacted
me through your site. I can
honestly say I owe you big
time.
From Monica St. Marie,
Recycled Trash Company
Before
Feminist.com, we had no www
exposure, but as soon as we
were at the site, we were
getting a few catalog requests
a day - and soon orders. Feminist.com
has by far been the most hassle
free advertising and generated
the greatest response. This
is obviously a great value
- especially compared to print
advertising.
From Ceel Pasternak and
Linda Thornburg, Founders
of It's A Living Newsletter
For
our newsletter It's a Living!,
Career News for Girls, being
part of Feminist.com had many
benefits. Two major ones:
We got connected with people
we wanted to reach. They read
our information then easily
contacted us. These contacts
often led to others because
some individuals represented
groups interested in helping
girls. Also, we used the site
as an easy reference. For
people who wanted to see a
sample of our work, we suggested
they check us out on line.
Many did so and then placed
an order.
From Diane Tait, DeeMar
Communications
I
just wanted to say that since
I've been linked with your
site, that my responses and
emails have risen dramatically!!!!
Thank you for all the hard
work you do....keep up the
great work...
From Sherry Beth Sacks,
Program Assistant, MADRE
I,
like many others, have been
searching for meaningful work
in women's organization's
since moving to NYC 2 years
ago. With a B.A. in women's
studies I found my search
very challenging; quite honestly,
totally frustrating. One afternoon,
while temping at some horrific
office, I looked online for
anything related to feminist
work in NYC. I found your
website through a link and
saw the classified section.
MADRE, the international women's
human rights organization
had a job posting that I responded
to at once. So the story goes.....
I am here working with MADRE.
Working here at MADRE is in
absolute honor as well as
enrichining and inspiring.
Thank you.
From Ellen Kyriacou, National
Women's Political Caucus
At
a time when our staff was
just beginning to use email,
Feminist.com offered to put
us on the web and help us
keep our page updated. Feminist.com
helped the NWPC enter the
age of technology with ease
and grace. Our web site has
directed many interested individuals
to our organization - including
several awesome interns! Currently,
we are transferring to our
own domain. We never would
have made it here if it were
not for Feminist.com.
