Proper Publicity Planning Leads to Positive Results
Before you begin your publicity campaign you should carefully consider the following:
- Budget – How much can you spend? What are the costs involved? Always prepare a budget in advance.
- Audience – Who do you want to reach and 什么 is the best way to reach them? Publicizing to non-students may be an entirely different task than publicizing to students.
- Information – Make sure you have all of the needed information (Who, What, Where, When, Cost, etc.) before you prepare your publicity materials.
- 资源 – Identify your resources - people, talent, material, etc.
- Location – Where will your materials get the most attention? Choose high traffic areas and give thought to placing your advertisements in different/unusual places.
- Schedule – How much time do you have? Are there deadlines that must be met? The optimum time to begin advertising is 2 - 3 weeks before the activity. Write up a calendar with deadlines to help you keep on track.
- Campus publicity procedures-Please consult with the Use of Facilities Team, Center for Student Involvement, and ASI regarding approved 发布 位置s and materials.
To ensure a well-attended program, brainstorm possible publicity strategies. 思考 谁 you wish to attract to the event, 如何 to get your intended audience’s attention, 当 you want to begin and 什么 type of budget you have for publicity. Be sure to submit an Event Registration Form prior to distributing, 发布, or placing on the web any publicity for the event.
- 思考 如何 to attract both commuter and on-campus students to the event. Publicity should be included in areas that make the most students see it.
- If the event is particularly relevant to students of a certain major make sure you advertise in areas of campus where their classes are held.
- Provide as much information as possible to attract students. 事件是否免费？? 如果有，请列出. If not, list the amount of the fee. Will refreshments be provided?
- Word of mouth is an effective supplement to formal publicity. Make announcements to friends and classmates. These serve as personal invitations and may encourage others to attend.
- Student organizations are responsible for not damaging campus facilities 当 advertising events. Please consult with CSI regarding recommended advertising strategies.
Types of publicity include:
- 口碑营销
- Announcements in classes
- Notices on an organization's social media page or website
- Fliers posted in approved campus 位置s (Please refer to the Campus Posting Policy)
- 明信片
