BILLY they should be on a table on the way in/out. Maybe all promoters should think of doing it this way? Word of mouth does influence many but you have to get the info out there in the first place, that's why I believe the internet is far more benificial than flyers these days.

I agree Chalky, never just scatter flyers about the room. Should be near the entrance/ exit, and/ or given out to people. Venue owners and staff hate them being scattered around, they have to clear them up. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest uroffal Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I agree Chalky, never just scatter flyers about the room. Should be near the entrance/ exit, and/ or given out to people. Venue owners and staff hate them being scattered around, they have to clear them up. 'Hand to hand' distribution at the end of the night is the best way to do this. Generally, in my experience of promoting events at University, this is the best form of event promotion/marketing; however, I agree that the internet plays an increasing important role in promoting events.

FrankM Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Uroffal is right. You have to talk to people as well as hand over the flyer to remind them what you told them. The personal touch counts. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

BILLY Thanks anyway Billy . Just another 5000 to go If you hand them to people they seem to fold them up and put them in their pockets or hanbags.Leave them on the table, just used to mop up the beer.. Generally the ones i leave on the door seem to go better. I pick flyers up but when i go out i check the events page to see whats on. Need both imo.

Chalky Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Maybe promoters should get together, do away with flyers all together and publish a monthly gig guide? Maybe make better use of "On The Scene"? Is it still running? not seen one for a while? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Didn't Chris W start a flyer with loads of venues on one flyer, great idea IMO, saves money and enviromentaly friendly Better than having a mountaine of paper on your table can be a right pain in the arse some times Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Its a great idea in concept, as advertising cost was very reasonable (£25 for a quarter page of a 10k full colour print run if I remember correctly?) and if all promoters involved distributed their share of print run in their own area it could achieve effective nationwide advertising.

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i not mind how you get flyers as long as they are out there. i always look at them all left on table. usually that's how i know when the next ones are on locally or dad's friends says see you at next one. You can use flyers to write on at back when its plain especially if you hear a song you like so you wait to here who it's by and write it down Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
