David has asked only one thing of us so far: keep sales of “The Last Song I’ll Write for You” going.  On Wednesday, June 6th, we will do a one day gifting effort and sales push on iTunes and Amazon in collaboration with our international teams.  Like any other trending or voting effort, this means planning and organizing. If we work together in a specific time period, we’ll make a difference.

 

Gifting limits: Although we had put a limit of 5 per Amazon and 5 from iTunes, we have heard from other fandoms that the limits are:  2 per checkout at Amazon (if you buy 10 gifts, you need to check out 5 different times),  8 per individual personal purchase on iTunes, but gifting to others is unlimited since who downloads is what’s counted. Using different accounts works too.  This is not to say, let’s buy 8 copies for ourselves  and gift 800 copies each, but we can be a bit more generous than just 5 copies.

 

 

If you are willing and able to help, here are some ideas to prepare for Wednesday:

 

1. Make a list of friends and family members who might enjoy the song.

 

2. Buy several copies of the song as an iTunes “gift” and choose the “print” option.  This gives you a printout with a redemption code. Pass them out to friends and people who are interested in hearing the song.

 

3a. Post on your Facebook: If anyone would like a copy of David Cook’s single, I have a few free downloads available.

 

3b. Or post on Facebook: If anyone would like a free download of David Cook’s new single, check it out here: https://dcstreetteam.wordpress.com/tlsiwfy-gifting-project-recipient-form/

 

4. If you know people from any of the other Idol fandoms, reach out to them, ask if they would like a free download and either send them to the fill-in form, or ask them to DM you their email address to receive an iTunes gift download.

 

5. When talking with neighbors, colleagues, dry cleaner, salon stylist, etc, mention that you’re enjoying a new song by David Cook. If they sound interested, ask if they would like a free download.

 

6. Make a second account on iTunes.  Sign up again with a different email, just in case it’s needed for gifting. iTunes will allow you to use the same credit card on multiple accounts.

 

7. If you’d like the street team to gift to people, please fill in this form  https://dcstreetteam.wordpress.com/tlsiwfy-gifting-project-recipient-form/  or email to us  at davidcookstreetteam@gmail.com

 

The email addresses of donors and recipients are not made public on the website for their privacy.  No one will be able to see them unless we send them a link.

 

This is our chance to give David a gift that he really wants. Let’s do it!
