Marketing/publicity

**Harsh** · 09-03-10

Following on from Julians post, it seems a good idea to harness the collective power within PN.

so far we've done most of our preparations in the background with just over 2 months to go to the event it's time we let the public know what's going on.

we're aiming to double the numbers we had last year so this is the plan...

1. press releases to all the major national newspapers
2. 10,000 leaflets and posters printed, with potential for more
3. All the car clubs that have been invited will be asked to spread the word
4. All sponsors and stall holder will be asked to spread the word/give out leaflets
5. Pistonheads Sunday Service will be announced in the next week or two with Dunsfold as the venue 500+ cars anticipated
6. Facebook and twitter campaigns via our various groups and contacts - if you get an invite please invite as many others in your group as you can and post it on your wall, asking your friends to do the same.
7. internal e-mail in companies - this is a good way of getting the family crowd we're after - spread the word either via the central 'sports and social' commitee or within email groups taking the text from the facebook page which i'll copy on here later on.
8. local papers and radio stations will promote the event closer to the date
9. leaflets distributed in the local area/schools etc etc

so, if anyone has any more ideas or would like to help out with the marketing push for the event i'd be very grateful indeed as I really want this event to work for the trust.

"BIGger SIGNAGE" on the R32 (when Ben/Robin/Pete get me the AI file to give to the graphics team)

I saw the flyers at the Ace last night

Very eye catching........ if i'd had my wits about me i would have grabbed a handful as i know someone who's going to the RS owners club AGM soon and he could have handed them out to the various registrars for each marque within the club............. Drat

Missed opportunity......

Is there a downloadable version of the poster i can paste to appropriate places

Make sure to give me some leaflets when I see you next and Ill hand them out at popular places in winchester!

How about a a picture to go in signatures on other forums that I can make in to a hyperlink to go to the website? (it makes sense in my head) I'll show you what I mean.

I hope that works!

It created as follows but with the #'s removed.

same here, i'll post it in some other car forums, print some off to put in venues, wherever else comes to mind etc....

**spiritof'76** · 12-03-10

yep, pdf would be very usefull .......

**Del** · 18-03-10

Yep, another for a pdf here - as I work near Dunsfold (in Dorking) and the place I work has close links with the Childrens Trust the chances are I can get a good crowd to attend.
