something i've noticed up here is that people don't even pay attention to flyers anymore. The only time they probably come into contact with them is in a flyer pack given out outside a venue, and we've all been in that cunted state, leaving a venue, and thought 'yeah, great, roach material'. Chances of people actually reading it, let alone remembering what they've read is pretty slim.

Doesn't help that the council have introduced a license system (at high cost) to flyer in the city, so there aren't the saturday afternoon flyer teams.

We find well designed posters, in the right areas, do the job for us, with the internet promo to back it up. And as previously mentioned, building a 'community' around your event is the best way to spread word of mouth, and if you can do things this way, slowly getting bigger names on when you know you can afford it, you'll create a hype around your event that grows with you.

We're in a lucky position that our venue works with us, and for us. Not many promoters experience this with venues, and we've been messed about in the past
