Subject: RE: self promotion tip : posters!
I get much of my information from flyers at concerts and festivals. We always walk around the vendor booths and collect flyers to get details on events we might attend. The good flyers give us all the concert details plus directions and phone numbers to call for more information. Sure, I get listings from the newspapers and magazines and certain newsletters and websites, but the flyers are what I keep in a folder and carry in the camper for details.
Another use of flyers is to have them ready to hand out at the song circles and "house hoots" and jams that we attend. These are the folks who are likely to go to the concerts, so it's very effective to have them available. I occasionally post flyers in public places (the library is a good one) but rely more on giving them to the select folks who are already interested. It works.
