CREATIVE WAYS TO PUBLICIZE

• Lettering-
  • Use BIG Letters ( to see several feet away)
    
  • Use fun fonts (but make sure words are easy to read)
  • Keep important information clear and spelled correctly

• Use Diagrams, Pictures, or Designs-
  • Say it with a drawing whenever possible
  • Accent important information with Borders or Designs

• Bright Colors-
  • Bright Colors are an Eye Catcher and add Variety
  • Try to pick color schemes for different programs
  • Students will learn to associate colors w/ themes

• Materials-
  • Use Butcher or Color Typing Paper
  • Try plates, balloons, magazine ads, and posters
  • Make things BOLD

• Location-
  • Slide announcements under doors late at night
  • Hang flyers upside down
  • Hang part of the flyer at one end of the hall and the other part at the opposite end
  • Attach flyers to small “goodies”… such as a pencil or CANDY
  • Establish a designated spot where you always advertise all events!!

• Utilize Residence Halls as a place to hang BANNERS and BALLOONS for big events  
• Have someone do a Chalk Poster On The Sidewalk with approval during the day so students can see the artist working and read about the program!!!

• Create your own Display Area for any program and use your bulletin boards for up-coming program listings.

• Tape Paper Footprints on the sidewalks with information on the specific event, place foot prints so that they lead to the spot of your program!

• Restroom Posting of flyers in stalls around campus will enable you to reach a “captive” audience.

• Doorknob Cards to get attention every time someone enters a room
• Timing! Use a random starting time like 6:11pm ... residents will remember is better
• Word of Mouth!  Tell people what's going on!
• Use Odd Shaped Posters, Such as triangles, hexagons, ovals, etc.
