WE WON!! 

We had a great time at the Animal Aid Christmas Without Cruelty event and we were amazed to win an super award from The Supreme Master and Supreme Master Television.

The reason Karin went veggie initially was after reading a book from The Supreme Master and 15 or so years later they have become good friends with the UK team who love Karin’s PR work as well as VeggieVision.

The awards has been given previously to Bill Gates and select presidents worldwide – and Karin!!

How proud are we!!

Hiya 

How are you!? 

Its been far toooo long and I am sorry – As always so much on the go as we are working flat out to bring you much much more. 

Well we had a fab time the other Saturday at The Festival of Life – Well done to Chris and his dynamic team of helpers. 

Super Anthony filmed again with us and gorgeous Ania got stuck in and worked the VeggieVision stand like magic. 

Lots of love n thanks to our incredible VeggieVision presenters – who you will get to see soon...... 

Laura, Kasha, Karen and Kamuran. 

Laura spends her time being a magazine editor as does Kasha. Karen is an actress – who also plays 3 musical instruments – and our lovely Kamuran is a model and dancer. 

And all are lovely veggie girls too. 

Please check out the new comp – always cool to win and winning vegan chocolate is the ultimate. Huge thanks to Mood Foods ) 

Glad that so many people loved the new clip from Paris too– How wonderful to hear a VeggieVision presenter welcome us with a "Bonjour" and "Welcome to VeggieVision" with a French accent!! We have even received messages from people who were at the event and said that they loved the clip – which of course makes our day.

More news coming asap! 

Vegan wishes, Karin n the VV Team xxx

Hi!

I wanted to drop you a line as I am doing my radio show again and am pre recording a show this Thursday from 7 – 9 pm – they are usually live.

I am dedicating this show to bringing up your kids as vegan / veggie and would love as many veggies to be in touch over the phone or by email

If you know of anyone bringing up their kids as vegan/veggie, vegan/veggie kids or pregnant vegans it would be great to hear from them too as I want the show to be jammed packed with how others have done this successfully

Pls pass this on and email me ASAP!

Thanks and hope to hear back soon

Wow – what a show – We are still recovering and the Bristol Vegan Fayre was now last weekend!

Please do drop us a line if you took any film clips as we would love to see them.  

We had a super time, how wonderful to see so many likeminded people- and it was great that so many viewers came up and said hi as well. 

We welcome all of the new people that signed up or took flyers away – thanks so much for your support – there is much more coming soon to VeggieVision. 

We had an amazing team of presenters and film crew who worked flat out as well as a super bunch of helpers that worked on the stall. We prepared about 150 goody bags for all the stall holders as well and that took a lot of time as we had so much to give away! 

Can you believe that we were in a vegan fayre and I wasn’t able to eat! I was tooo excited! I did fall in love though – did you have those amazing vegan cream eggs – I bought several bulk orders. And those vegan trifles )  Yum! 

If we filmed with you we will let you know as soon as possible about the content – it is for the new look so please bear with us.

We had such a great time and look forward to being at many more events this year. If you would like to get involved please let us know! 

Thanks again to all of the super VeggieVision team and for your positive feedback – It really inspired us to move forward.

Have a great day and spk soon

Karin and the VeggieVision team. Xxx

Hey!

Can we be the first to wish you a super fab National Veggie Week!

Please do drop us  line if you are having an event or doing something for the special week - and even better if you can grab a camcorder and film it for other VeggieVision viewers too!

Its been a crazy week as we prepare for the coming Bristol Vegan Fayre - please do come and say hi if you are heading over - and please do come and help on our stall if you can! We have been in touch with some great veggie presenters so the cameras will be rolling at the fayre.

You may know that we are doing some of the PR for the event too and have got the lovely Tim Barford many radio interviews - and top of that Karin was asked to get involved with the wonderful Swedish Glace and their fab veggie survey - so Karin did 15 radio interviews promoting veggie stuff in one morning! How cool is that!! And yes we were told she was as up beat for the 15th as she was the first!

As well as working flat out on tons of VeggieVision stuff we constantly strive to promote veganism as much as we can and have enjoyed a lot of local and national media recently - we will add this to the new site asap.

Anyway we wish you a super National Veggie Week and lets get those veggie seeds planted!

LOL, as always from all the team xxxxxxxx

We have put together this easy to read report that aims to help you get started with ways of promoting vegetarianism and veganism in a fun and professional way. We hope that you enjoy and with National Veggie Week fast approaching take action too!

Media! How to reach 1000’s of people!  

Starting off

Create your own local media contact list – full journalists & newspapers names, addresses, phone no’s, fax no’s , if poss e mail. – This can be made from buying local papers, looking in Yellow Pages, ask family & friends – they may know about a  newsletter – ect that you don’t. Check out www.mediauk.com 

Journalists want an interesting story –something great for their readers. Don’t think that they are against you. It’s not a them & us. Local media are less likely to be aggressive/ controversial than national media – however be aware of over friendly journalists – always know that they are a journalist – not a friend who wants to sit and chat! The interview isn't over until the phone is put down or you have left the building!! 

Remember you are helping them by providing an interesting story or idea.  

Be polite, friendly, happy, confident – SMILE! Even when on the phone! )  ) )  

You are all vegans to them – maybe the first or only vegan they have met –

BE A GREAT ADVERT FOR VEGANISM – Go against the stereo typical image of a vegan.  

Aim that they remember you – for good reasons! They will come back to you when they need a quote or information.  

Get to know the journalists, find out if any are veggie or ‘sympathetic’ – they will usually tell you.

Part 2 coming soon - and more too!
