It s up to you to tell them about the event. The type of advertising you choose will depend largely on the event you are planning and your budget. If the event is only for a small group of people, word of mouth and some handouts might suffice. For an organization, flyers and banners might be helpful. An event planned for the entire campus or community would require all of the above PLUS advertisements on television and radio.
Advertising is arguably the most important part of planning an event.
If you don t advertise it well enough, no one will come and see all the hard work you have put into the main part of the event. A minimum of 48 hours is required by the staff in order to ensure that the materials will be stamped. Without effective publicity, even the best of ideas will fail. Publicizing the surrounding community will be an entirely different task than publicizing to students. Have a plan for both.
