Sell yourself – tell the world “It was great, but there were so few people!” It’s a constant cry. You do a show, gig or exhibit, you invest effort, money, passion – and nobody comes. Ask yourself … did your audience know about your show? Who did you tell? How did you tell them? Did you use word of mouth through family and friends? Social media like Facebook and Twitter? Your community newspaper or radio station? Local newsletters and forums? The mainstream newspapers, magazines and radio? Advertisements? Posters? Billboards? Flyers? Creative ideas of your own like busking at shopping malls and on street corners? In today’s economic climate, unless you can afford a professional publicist, you have to do it yourself. It is not the brief of a receiving house to deliver audiences. But we can help … Artslink.co.za has been connecting artists to audiences and putting bums on seats for more than 16 years. http://www.artlink.co.za/form_vpo.htm |
