Promotions Checklist For An Event

1. Be prepared to provide a table, a couple of chairs, or other simple items that may be needed by an act from time to time.
 
2. Always leave at least 30 minutes between acts on the stage to allow for set-up, tear-down, and audience movement.
 
3. Name your stage The Baldwin Park Plaza Stage, The Deck... names like these help build audiences over time.
 
4. Have an emcee introduce shows, thank sponsors, and make announcements.
 
5. Don't schedule other well-attended events on top of your free stage shows.
 
6. Develop a good programming plan and stick with it. Use a good schedule, good acts, and good promotion.
 
7. Let your audience know what kind of an act it is: magician, juggler, ventriloquist, hypnotist, musical act, comedian...
 
8. Be sure to spell the entertainer's name correctly.
 
9. Let acts know of other events you might like them to mention and promote while they are on stage.
 
10. Most acts will gladly do radio and television spots before and during their stay at your event. Take advantage of this as it is free, successful marketing.
 
11. Have plenty of attractive, comfortable seating.
