Kellogg Leadership Conference Peer Comments
| Good marketing for Jainism |
| Messaging needs to be globalized, YJI can help with outsourcing/printing |
| Impressive, coordination with centers |
| I like it - its easily doable, needed; every thought counts and if we can intercept each that visually & audio |
| Jain plates will work as a beautiful religious artifacts |
| Create brochure for Jain Center to get ideas |
| |
| Concept is good; too local, more attractive posters |
| Summary of Jainism; communicate through Jain world for other centers |
| Great way to keep focus on Jain ideals; Have them printed en masse and distributed nationwide |
| Could we shrink all posters into a couple? Easier distribution |
| Very easy to accomplish, very viable; Specific package for each temple which will gain their interest and buy-in |
| Simple easily executable idea; Limited scope |
| Going green; Need centers buy-in |
| |
| Good education for non-Jains; No alignment to Vision 2020 |
| It captures message of Jainism at most visited place like temple; Refine content and place of display |
| Simple enough to do at all Jain centers; some people may even want it for their homes - create some marketing piece for people to become aware of it |
| Easy common message |
| A good way to create pictorial way to sharing Jain philosophy; Make it more professional and high quality - the message should be very authentic and non-sectarian |

I'm thoroughly interested in the idea, so long as we keep common and simple across all Jain Centers. I believe the target audience is our youth, so I am genuinely interested in seeing how that works out in my local (Detroit) Jain Center.
