JAIN SPIRIT BEHIND THE SCENES
NORTH AMERICA
Our subscriptions here continue to rise - thank you very much Dr. Tansukh Salgia deserves particular mention for his hard work in keeping all subscribers regularly informed and maintaining the database and accounts. Please give us your change of address if you move, or else..... We are actively looking for donors and subscribers, so help promote Jain Spirit in your local centre. Email: tsalgia@att.net
SIMPLE TIPS ON MARKETING - Complete the subscription form for a friend and ask them to give you the money, and you can post it. Unfortunately, there is a lot of laziness about! Help us overcome it. . There are two subscription forms in each magazine - we know each of you can easily get two new subscribers for us. Please do this without delay, and if necessary, give them a one year gift - they will remember you for a whole year. In return, we will give you a special gift for every two new subscribers you bring. . Don't be ashamed of showing the magazine to anyone who visits - keep it on the coffee table and encourage visitors to flick through. From experience, they cannot put it down. Next step is subscription - get them to do it there and then!
RECYCLE YOUR WEALTH AND RENEW YOUR CULTURE
So far, we have raised large amounts from generous people from all over the world, with the primary funding coming from the UK. We need to urgently widen this support base and ensure Jain Spirit reaches libraries, schools and communities all over the world. This is a unique international project, and Jains from all over the world are invited to donate. We are waiting to hear from any donors wishing to preserve the memory of a loved one or encourage the awareness and understanding of Jainism worldwide. Please call our Chairman, Mr. Anant M. P. Shah, on +44(0) 20 7269 5520 or email amp@meghraj.co.uk We also have unique products such as Jain music CD's which we can distribute worldwide to help you preserve the memory of a loved one. All you have to do is to write a cheque and we will do the rest, in the unique high quality and professionalism that is associated with Jain Spirit. PERTH, AUSTRALIA-AJAIN SPIRIT CITY
Mr. Amu Vaghji Nangpar Shah has given one year gift subscriptions to all Jains living in Perth. He has received very positive feedback and many have already said that they will subscribe to the magazine once their subscription expires! It raises the enthusiasm and community spirit for everyone at a bargain price!
Would you like to make your city a Jain Spirit city? All you need to do is send us the addresses of all Jains living in your city and we will send them a covering letter that it is a gift from you, eg. in memory of a loved one. We will then send them the magazine for the whole year (four issues) - you don't have to do anything. The recipients will be grateful to you. It is as simple as that, and we will give discounts on bulk deals. Do not wait for Jains to subscribe - give them a gift, and that will give them a platform for life! They will thank the donor for one whole year, when every new issue of the magazine arrives.
Mr. Kiran Kochar has already done this for Jakarta, and Mr. Hasmukh Gardi, for Dubai. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Nakuru, Hong Kong, Antwerp, what are you waiting for?

The Young Jains in Nairobi have been promoting the magazine and encouraging everyone to subscribe. Unfortunately, due to previous free marketing, some people still think they will get it for free, but this is untrue. Tell them what they are missing! Mombasa, Nakuru, where are the new subscriptions?
In Kampala, Uganda, Abhay and Rita continue to get us new subscriptions. Well Done!
