Well we cant design flyers until we have all the info, but that wont take a few hours to make one. Then printing and sending them out
so should be all done within a few days |
so what the hold up? what has still to be confirmed? |

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. |

some excelent advice in there mate, thanks!
being as i live in leeds imm most likley to be spamming leeds with the help of ians bro, i was just mainly planning to hand out flyers outside the 2 universitys here to attract the student crowd as well as in the various shop's and put some posters up on the poster drums leeds have got (big 15foot high drums for postering, leeds councils solution to fly postering)
money wise we have manage to get the venue for free (as far as i know, as the owners owed neo a favor or somefing) and the lineup is pretty much confimed as far as i know, think kuffdam and jon0bir are headlineing it.
any other advice you have got for us feal free to give it us!

do you pay to put them up?
flyer the uni's as well but i would do the bars too. its all about finding the people who might come to your night and persuading them. for example, theres no point doing pr in an 'old mans' pub. on the night have people in the street near the venue to persuade people that are maybe going past heading to another club to come to your night instead.
it will cost money, i suggest that you sort out amongst yourselves whos investing in it.(and whos hopefully taking any profit from it)
if your looking for any more DJs or input on the night then I'll be happy to help. |

Money is being provided by a fair few of us. And any profit made, if any will be used to fund the next night :D |

are you going to make it a regular thing? or just one-offs every now and then? |
