How will the event be publicized?

• Produce flyers and posters describing the event, and post them in areas frequented by target audiences.
• Call local radio stations and publicize the event. DJ's are always open to information that they can talk about on the air. They may also be willing to have an ACE representative visit the radio show and do a brief interview or announcement.
• Send PSAs to local radio, television and cable stations.
• Send a press release to the area media
  • Use local media guides for distribution
  • Try to make follow-up calls when possible
  • Send releases to the right person at each publication, this increases the chance of coverage.
• Send a media advisory, a day or two before the event.
• Make sure to highlight photo or TV opportunities and the "who, what, when, where, and why" of the event.
