Today I want to talk to you about free ways to advertise your movie event. That’s free, not three. You’ve planned your movie event. You’ve picked your date. You’ve picked your movie. And now you need to get the word out. There are over a hundred free ways to do this . I’m going to share five ways.
Number one: Consider just simply word of mouth. Start with members and supports of your organization, use meetings, and use newsletters. Word of mouth is a strong promoting tool because it comes from a reliable and trusted source.
Number two: Consider putting up posters in your local community. Here at Southern Outdoor Cinema, we provide our customers with full color event posters with the important information of what movie is actually going to be shown, the date and time of the event, and where it’s being located.
Number three: Use your free local resources, such as newspapers. Often times you can go ahead and submit to the local calendar for your newspaper section. Also consider going ahead and creating a press release. If you have never created a press release before, consider that you need to at least provide them with four out of the five W’s. First off, who is doing the outdoor movie. What it is, you know, what the movie is, where it’s going to be held and when. Certainly you’re going to need those things for people to come out to your movies, so make sure you provide them in the press release.
Number four: Consider putting up a banner at your location hopefully having people drive by a location and see a banner for a free outdoor movie event will cause them to consider coming out to your event.
Number five: Over forty percent of the population is on Facebook. Consider having your information on a Facebook account that you have for your organization, or simply create a Facebook account for your particular movie event. If you found these tips helpful, then share them on Facebook or or Twitter.
