| We also seek funding for publication from zoos or the corporations who
support them. The authors propose that Animal Crackers be used at a zoo
as a problem-solving process for business teams, a teaching tool for students, a
promotional tool for fund raising, as well as a retail product sold in the zoo
store. They offer their services as on-site facilitators of the Animal
Crackers process, as enthusiastic product promoters, and as consultative
resources as it pertains to their product.
The proposed events provide a zoo with the following benefits:
1. Animal Crackers extols the value of animals as collaborators in
the creative process.
2. Animal Crackers events can provide a source of revenue for a zoo.
3. Business communities will have the opportunity to create new, or upgrade ex
products and services that significantly impact their bottom line.
4. Underwriters who publish Animal Crackers will recoup their
investment as Animal Crackers events are staged at other zoos.
5. Animal Crackers can be modified into a student version so the
educational community can make more use of the zoo.
As creators of the product and process, the authors expect to earn fees for
conducting problem-solving and new-product-development sessions as well as
appropriate royalties for products sold.
We have created sample radio vignettes called
Wild Animals.
Sponsors would use these wrap-arounds for commercials promoting a company's
support of a zoo and Animal Crackers events. Between the introductory
teaser and the longer payoff in each wrap-around, the sponsor can insert a
commercial message.
