I will cover the aspects of flyer/poster concert promotion and several ideas for media promotion.. 1st ly, the single the majority important thing when you want to  promote  a concert is to start delegating duties and make sure stimulate ers know what’s expected of them.

So let’s start!

Flyers and Posters -  It’s important to have a well designed, eye-catching flyer or poster. It will show people that the performance deserves their anticipation, time and money.

The  artist’s  management can offer you with some flyers or posters to start with. If you prefer to establish your own flyer or poster, you should find a graphics professional or pronting company willing to donate services in ex differ for advertising.

If it’s the first time the artist is coming to your town or city be sure to include a testimonial on the flyer or poster. A flyer that easy advertises an artist or a performer will mean virtually nothing to a person who has never heard of them!

Assign volunteers to post the flayers in places likely to attract the the majority attention. Try grocery stores, Regional chamber of Commerce offices, Art Councils or other communities, malls, shopping plazas, music stores, book stores, galleries and other popular gathering spots where flayers are displayed routinely but be sure to ask for permission before posting.

Do not forget to post the flyers or posters to the performance location itself! Try to hang posters as close to the average eye level as possible. [Media and other sources of publicity] List the performance in community calendars, Newspaper, Magazines or radio and television stations if possible. Radio and television stations can be willing to anounce gatherings for free.

Be sure to notice them many weeks in advance. In the listing include the date of the concert, time, location, ticket price, ticket outlets, sponsors of course and phone numbers for information.

Ask promotional material from the  musician’s  managements like interviews, video clips, song samples, photographs etc. Try to deliver the material to the media along with the news release anouncing the performance.

Make sure you follow up by phone. Ask from the management to arrange an interview with the artist(s) if possible. Discuss other possibilities.

Offer  artist’s  promo material (if available) to radio stations like ly to air it.  promote  them to performance it again and again specifically a week or two before the concert. Have volunteers and friends telephone the stations and request more!

If you’re using an answering machine make a recording using sound clips from the artist. Advertise the phone numbers available to call in newspapaer or on the radio. Include a short message in the recordings detailing performance info.

When you’re Online, subscribe to any music-related newsgroups or bulletin boards. Post messages about your anticipation, plans and later, show specific information! Of course if you own a web site, think about creating a special area to advertise the performance with a hot-link to the  performer’s  home page (if any).

Ask from the media to co-sponsor (sharing in work or re Clubs) or to endorse the concert for publicity purposes. Assuming that they say ‘YES’ then make sure you include a ‘..co-sponsored by..’ message in the flyers and other promotional material..
