Outreach
What is Outreach?
Public outreach is any activity by a member group, Intergroup, or World Services that makes the general public aware of the existence of Nicotine Anonymous without violating our Twelve Traditions.
This booklet includes tips and instructions for planning your outreach activities. Includes: simple & effective outreach activities; reaching out to TV, radio & press; PSAs; sample mass mailing letters; sample fliers; and guidelines for keeping our Traditions during outreach.
Public Outreach Request Packet
Have an idea for a public outreach project? Maybe you want to do a mass mailing, or run a booth at a health fair. Whatever your idea, Nicotine Anonymous World Services (NAWS) might be able to offset your costs and/or provide the free literature you need. To submit a request, fill out the 2 forms included here, and mail them to the address included. Alternately, email your request to outreachcoordinator [at] nicotine-anonymous [dot] org. All requests are subject to approval and/or availability. Limit $500 per project.

PSAs
Audio Public Service Announcement (30 Seconds)
This is a 30-second MP3 file (about 600KB) of our recorded public service announcement. Send to radio stations that provide free radio spots for non-profits like us, via a burned CD or email. Great outreach tool!
Video Public Service Announcement (30 Seconds)
This is a 30-second file (about 32.9MB), created by members, of our public service announcement. Send to TV stations that provide free ad spots for non-profits like us, via a burned DVD or email. Another great outreach tool!
Public Service Announcement Script
Script for our official 30-second public service announcement. Print this off and record your own radio spot, or leave with community radio stations (college, public, etc.) that make regular PSA's.
Logos
Nicotine Anonymous Logos for Professional Printing (high resolution)
This is a ZIP file containing two versions of the Nicotine Anonymous logo in EPS format (one in color, one in black&white). An EPS image is scalable to large sizes—recommended if you are making a banner or other large display. Typically, you would need Adobe Illustrator to manipulate this image, or you can take the file to your local printer.
This is a ZIP file containing various JPEG & PNG images of the Nicotine Anonymous logo in several sizes. These images are perfect for flyers or other items printed on your personal printer. It is preferred to use the PNG formats whenever possible (as they have a transparent background and will not put a white box around the logo when used on colored backgrounds.) These images can be rescaled to be smaller that their original versions, but it is not recommended that you enlarge them, as this reduces quality. For a version of our logo scalable to any size (e.g., for banners), download the EPS version above.
Nicotine Anonymous Logos for Web/Email (low resolution)
This is a ZIP file containing various JPEG & PNG images of the Nicotine Anonymous logo in several sizes. It is preferred to use the PNG formats whenever possible (as they have a transparent background and will not put a white box around the logo when used on colored backgrounds.) These images can be rescaled to be smaller that their original versions, but it is not recommended that you enlarge them, as this reduces quality. For a version of our logo scalable to any size (e.g., for banners), download the EPS version above.
