Hello!
In building my archive over two decades, I have learned well the value of having a support network across the world. Many of the most cherished treasures in my custody have been acquired with the help of thoughtful friends and fellow fans. As Duran Duran's publicity machine kicks into high gear, I have considered my strategy for hunting down potential posters -- for the new album as well as for the impending world tour. Once again, I know that having eyes in faraway lands will be a critical component of my archival success.
To that end, I am making a formal appeal to anyone who might keep me in mind with Duran's promotional campaign. Whether displayed in record shops or outside concert venues, any posters that could be acquired for the new album and tour will be tremendously appreciated. They will also bring a substantial reward.
Reward for Posters
At a time when funds may be needed for Duran's inevitable tour, I am quite happy to use my poster hunt as a way of enabling others to see the band live. In this manner, I hope such a reward structure will be viewed in a positive light, making it a worthwhile, mutually beneficial effort for someone to pursue posters on my behalf.
· Posters for the new release and/or tour dates: up to $200 (US) per poster.
This amount depends on the size and condition of the poster, as well as how difficult it was to acquire the item. I intend to honor extra effort or risk involved, especially in regard to posters for specific tour dates. Please contact me with any finds, even if there may be some degree of damage (display holes, minor tears, etc)
· Full page press features on the band will always be welcome as well. Of particular interest are the promotional ads in magazines and newspapers for upcoming shows, usually appearing in the weeks prior to tickets going on sale.
· I also want to reiterate my commitment to acquiring posters from previous eras of the band's career: up to $500 for any promotional poster needed. Special, additional compensation will depend on a poster's age, size, and origin.

In addition to securing terrific new treasures from the band's latest chapter, I hope to help someone fulfill their own goal of seeing Duran Duran on the road again. Every fan deserves such an experience and this promises to be a year to remember.
Thank you very much for your consideration. Please contact me with any questions, suggestions, or offers.
All my best for a wonderful New Year!
