Publicity and promotion (was Re: Ages)

> DLV has never done advertising, except by word of mouth.

Let's discuss this.

Yes, word of mouth is probably the way most of our attendees hear about our event.

I would call "word of net" :) one of our best tools as well. We've been very prominent on the web for about 20 years and we're "spidered" daily by all of the biggies. I've spoken with several attendees over the years who stated that they found us by searching using various TG-related and Vegas-related terms. Our "Big List" (vendor/club/etc. listing) is our most "hit on" page. (LOL, another topic is the terms used to search, some quite amusing, which end up landing on one of our pages.) :) :)

We've never done any paid advertisement, although it's been suggested off and on over the years.

What we have done at times over the years are brochures, flyers, and posters, but not recently. These were distributed at TG-friendly merchants, at other TG events, etc.

The last run of brochures were distributed at a local Pride event, placed on a table with various other literature. This run had a QR code, so the responses could be tracked. I gave them 100 brochures and we got, IIRC, four hits, which is within the expected response range. I was unable to find out if all had been taken or how many were left over, so we'll never really know how effective that was.

It's been suggested that we resume the brochures, and I'll be carrying a small stash of them with me when I go to an event in August which may have some interested potential attendees.

This posting is from: Delaney

One thing which might be worthwhile is some other TG events list events
other than their own, often with links - i.e. if you can't attend
Esprit, try these events................ I assume that in most cases
it's free, they would just be looking for quid pro quo on the DLV
website.

Also, if we have a flyer for next year, if I can get an electronic
master, I can make copies and do some distribution in my travels. Until
we have a date for 2017, I'm not sure it would work for where I have in
mind.

I'll get you the .PDFs of the latest revision, annotated to state that dates will be announced RSN. It will have a QR code and URL for people to get the latest updates, including the dates and it will be easy to do a peg count of how many clicked on the QR from your distribution.

Thanks.
