No, but it's a great way to get the word out, a very expensive way, but good.

Flyers work too but I don't think people stop to look at flyers as much.

Ya it is expensive for an advertisment on the radio, plus i know most of my audiophile friends don't listen to the radio..

What will work is a Mail List.. possible 2 seperate lists for this board one being east and one being west. and a newsletter sent out on a bi-weekly basis..

Areas in the newsletter might be a review on a new peice of equipment - group buys - specials from local stores - Maybe a 5 dollar discount from the entry fee's of upcoming events etc etc..

Just a thought, Rockney

I'm going to have to agree that most people I know as well do not listen to the radio.. I could find way better ways to spend that money on a show

Flyers - HAND THEM OUT. That's how you get flyers to work

Radio advertising is bunk. The 16-25 age group doesn't listen much to radio really, the times they listen are hard to track, and I dunno about you guys but I generally "tune out" during commercials. Hell there were drags in Mission last weekend and it took me hearing the commercial 3 times to catch the dates cuz by the time they caught my attention the ad was over [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Thanks Mike - I took marketing/promotion/advertising when I went to school for Business Admin. Comes in handy here and there. Well that and I worked for two of the cheapest people on the planet so I had to get creative [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

The stuff I listed above would keep a person busy for about a week - two if you wait for posters to get printed. For posters remember to get them in places people with cars go: parts stores, gas stations, car wash, Can.Tire, and if school is in session, high school bulletin boards..
Be smart and creative and it does not have to cost big $$$ [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Hey now...
I'm 30 years old, happily married and established in a nice suburban home of my own, two cars and a motorcycle not counting my wifes - and I still maintain season membership at three local skateparks for skateboarding.
The skateboard definitely doesn't need to go away.
The "keys" simply help bring you to new spots.
