To promote the event further we ordered 500 flyers at A5, and printed posters at A3. These were put in to places around Leeds such as coffee shops, bars, and gallery spaces to target the kind of audience we want at the event.
Online promotion
To fit with the design of our posters I was able to knock up a header for social media in the same style, keeping the format minimal and only including the vital information. I made sure to keep 'goat collective' and 'disposable society' in the centre so it would show up as a smaller icon.
We created the event on Facebook a while back and as of today (a few days before the event) almost 500 people have responded to the invites by either clicking 'interested' or 'going', so we are expecting an ok turn out!
We've also had a good online activity and promotion through external businesses and people, including Colours May Vary, Independent Leeds and &/or Emporium.
Another avenue we used to promote the event was to boost on Facebook. It cost us £7 to have a sponsored post over a period of 5 days leading up to the event, which seems worth it at less than £1 each. This has sparked a lot of people to like and share it.
Some of the exhibitors also posted stuff;
