Some publications will run complimentary editorial in conjunction with your display ads. As an incentive for customers, retailers can earmark part of their proceeds for charities. Snooty Jewelry owner Jeanine Taylor, who designs animal-free accessories for the conscientiously clad, advertises her Round Up For Change Program and Snooty Jewelry Party Fundraisers via the internet, mailings and point-of-purchase displays.

Some mavericks still flinch at the notion of "corporatizing" vegan wisdom. They prefer to drift against the current. It is the mainstream, after all, who consume, wear and experiment upon animals. Yet for any non-traditional discipline to persevere, its messengers must paddle in a user-friendly direction. ### BIO STUFF: For 15 years, Ms. Shoss has managed a freelance advertising and public relations business, with clients that range from doctors, dentists, and interior designers, to companion animal services and national AR groups such as In Defense of Animals.
