do you pay to put them up?

no, leeds council was gettin pissed of with amount of fly postering in general, so they made massive drums for all the posters etc, and threatened posters that wernt on drums with harsh action, free to use, untill someone covers up ur poster i asume, then u got to wack on another one etc...

first off, i dont know any of you so, hi.

i've quickly skimmed the topic because there is so much so forgive me if i have missed anything.

just a few bits of advice for the guys organising this event.

printing usually takes 4 working days + delivery. so if you get your artwork to the printers and signed off for about 10am on monday you will get your flyers by friday.

for your first event it is the norm to PR round about bars and at any big related club nights for 4 weeks before the event. Your PR schedule should look something like this:

Friday 24/1/2003
Saturday 25/1/2003

Friday 31/1/2003
Saturday 1/2/2003

Friday 7/2/2003
Saturday 8/2/2003

Friday 14/2/2003

The first weekend can be missed out depending on the size of the city.
You will need 2 people to go round the bars handing out flyers on these nights.
It may also be an idea to hand out 2-4-1/half price and/or free passes to lure people in or something like offering half price entry before midnight (im assuming its open 11-3).
the time to give out passes is on the night and if anyopne seems really keen to come, the weekend before.

it also helps to go round shope asking if you can put flyers on the counter: mostly clothes and shoe shops. you will have probably seen other people flyers in places: go there. put flyers in local record shops too.

If you havent already chosen a printer then start getting some quotes NOW!
Most printers will accept the artwork in Photoshop, Illustrator, TIFF and JPEG format. Resolution should be 300 dpi and it should be in CMYK format.

GET A VENUE CONFIRMED NOW, its getting rather late to secure one.
Get the DJ's confirmed then you can start thinking about the running order.

The design for the flyers can get done now and add the names in later.

and probably most importantly: who are the backers for this venture? (ie whos stumping up the cash)

is this a one-off or is it going to be a monthly thing?

what is the capacity of the venue? do you think you can fill it: be realistic and very pessimistic about numbers. this is a new night and unless you are booking 'named' DJs noone will know the people on the bill - it will take a lot to drag them in.

just a few points for consideration. im not trying to put you guys down at all, just making sure you are aware of what needs to be done so that the nights not going to be a flop before its even started.

nice one dude

OK - update as of today

Andy who is the manager of H&H leeds is still not decided on feb 14th as its also valentines day and they may be running one of their own themed nights on that date.
We've got the venue, that's not a problem, it's just waiting on an available date, one which hopefully will not be a GC night.

DJ's : confirmed are Jon O'Bir and Dj Kuffdam, the others of which i have plenty of choice will be asked to do a set very shortly.
I also have enough talent for the 2nd night too. (3rd and 4th nights as well lol)

As soon as i've got a date then we can get the flyers and posters made up but in the meantime, i thought it may be an idea to do teaser flyers.
as in

Coming soon ! Add:iction

with the logo on it, nothing more, nothing less, just that, it will start to get us noticed and hopefully provoke some interest so when we do flyer with the date, ppl will recognise the name and maybe they will keep the flyer instead of sending it str8 to the gutter.

yeah, thats an excellent idea.

It really works, think about those TV advertisments where the name of something coming soon just flashes up for like a second.
it leaves everyone talking saying "have u seen that advert saying "....." thats all it says what the hell is it??

it would definateley create some interest and hype.

Ooh hehe

i wouldnt do it in black unless its getting stuck to something thats white or at least a bright colour! so maybe the flyers should have a bright background or something to make them standout against dull walls/posters etc! so that it catches the eye easily!

Posted by flystyler on Jan-11-2003 13:43:

Sommit like that?

Ok a tad large, heh

http://mysite.freeserve.com/ukta/coming_soon.jpg - bung that in ie, and sods law puts this on a black background post, lol

Posted by tu_face on Jan-11-2003 16:48:

A website will be made, nige is gettin name and he is hosting it as well

Posted by Martin McG on Jan-12-2003 23:43:

when will the site be up? need to be before the final flyer designs get sorted, that way ppl can visit the site! which would mean that there would prolly be more of a chance of them coming to the night!

Posted by Volksjoolz on Jan-13-2003 10:51:

Guys you really need to speed up with the organisation if you intend to make it for the 14th?!

I mean, it would have been advantagous to get the flyers out at gc boxing day and new years eve but its now only 4 weeks till open ing and you still havn't heard if you've definatly got the venue?!

not trying to be pessimistic but promotion is vital to the nights sucess!!

I was just talking to Fly and Toby in #ukta. And I was saying how about we have people taking pictures, cos you know always in clubs theres them types who have always got to have a picture of themselves and so on, If we put them up on a site for the night, and put the lineup for future nights in blantent big letters on the first page or something could potentially get us extra punters.

Good thinking, I think any site we do build should be properly done though without enforced banners and popups by the host.
