Suppose your organization wants to attract people to its arts foundation fund raisers. You

and some others brainstorm some ideas and select two of the worst ones:

• Call all the people in town and ask them to attend.


• Offer to pick people up and drive them to the seminar.

With these ideas as stimuli, the group generates some more practical ideas:

• Hire a marketing firm to call people most likely to benefit from such a seminar.


• Advertise on a radio show and offer a discount to the first twenty people who enroll
  by phone.


• Pay mileage to seminar participants.


• Lease buses to transport people from a common collection point.


• Raffle off a free rental car at the seminar.
