Save John @ Home Depot; John Needs Our Help
Topic Started: Sun May 29, 2005 5:40 pm (573 Views)

John Schneider has asked for the fans help in his monthly newsletter. Home Depot is planning to replace him as the Voice we've heard now for 2 years in their commercials.

Please email them at the address John linked to, and sign the petition I just started as well. Tell Home Depot John is what makes you trust them, and to replace him would cost them a costumer!

John's statment from his newsletter:

>Now... I do actually need a favor. Many of you know that I
>have been the voice of "Home Depot" for the last two years.
>Well, they have decided to look for someone else. If you
>are so inclined, an email to the big wigs there at
>homedepot.com suggesting that it would be a mistake to change from
>the voice you've trusted for years to a new one, I would
>greatly appreciate it. You've shown me how effective you can be
>in this area and I need your help.
>

As you know from the first post I have started a petition to save John from being replaced as the voice of home depot. If anyone here is going to Dukefest, I am not, cant afford a trip there, please contact me if you would like to help.

Currently at 14 signatures, we really need more! And fast! Who knows when Home Depot plans to do this.

Again if you are going to Dukefest, and wouldnt mind spending a few dollars, prolly no more then the cost of a poster board at walmart or something, for like 2 bucks and a marker, please let me know. I got an idea.

New and more ideas to help Save John.

POST CARD CAMPAIGN!

Post cards have been used in many campaigns to save a show, or something else important to fans.

If your willing to spend a few bucks on a postcard, and stamps, send a postcard, HOWEVER I am having a hard time getting an address to send them too. If anyone can find one, please let me know.

Note, the above idea is for Home Depot. Home Depot is the one I cant find an address to mail things too.

On another note, anyone know why my banner isnt showing up? Just says user posted image.

I can't see it either. What site do you have your banners hosted on? Maybe it's down.

No its not down. They work on other boards. Its something to do with this board.

I have them hosted on my own site.

They appear after I change my sig, but then they are auto replaced almost right away by USER POSTED IMAGE.

Edited to add: Hmm I forgot to allow this site to use images from mine. I think that was the problem.

Fused0ne graciously gave me permission to move the Home Depot campaign thread to this forum. I was just thinking it would probably be better to keep it to one campaign per forum (Jonathan campaign in the LJLS forum, Home Depot one here), because with my addled brain, I was starting to get the two of them mixed up! :)

So I hope all of you will support this campaign as wholeheartedly as you've been supporting the Jonathan campaign. Thanks.

Uggghhhh ... is John off the commercials now? I haven't heard him in two weeks!! Anybody else?

In my area I have this guy doing them and his voice is wussy - not at all deep like John's *sigh*

I'm bummed if he's done :bawl:

I heard today they still haven't made a final decision -- maybe we'd all better e-mail again! And Jess, did you ever find a snail mail address?

No I have not. Which is really dissapointing.

Oh, wait, I think I found one! Google turned up this one from a site called Investor Worlds:

2455 Paces Ferry Road
Atlanta, GA 30339

Do you think that would be the right address for customer mail? Here's the site if you want to read more about it:

I'm guessing it's their main address; they wouldn't use a store address on a site like that. We could always try it and see, anyhow! :)
