Most promoters, when they set out to promote local events, have a set of go-to tools that they use to get the word out. These tools might include print ads, radio ads and multimedia ads. They might advertise for local festivals at local concerts, assuming that those attending the concert might also be the type who would show up for a festival if it had the type of music and events that they enjoy. It is only a logical extension to look to put the word out online about upcoming events in places where the attendees are likely to be. In the physical world, putting up signs can be as simple as stapling them to telephone poles. The same works online as well, and while you will certainly catch a few eyes, chances are good that more targeted marketing approaches will work a little bit better for you. A save-the-earth poster outside a bank will be seen and noticed, but a save-the-earth poster outside of, oh, say, the local co-op or other natural grocery store is going to be noticed by the type of people who are actively interested in this sort of thing. The same goes online. Creating an online presence these days is fortunately much ...
... advanced from being just another user on a forum. Today, your presence can be expanded over several social media sites, connecting with others in the field and continually networking yourself as an individual or representative.

If you do play the online game, then here is the deal: online, businesses are people too. To clarify: both individuals and companies are using the same format on these sites. This can very much be used to the advantage of a promoter. Instead of seeming bigger-than or separate-from people, you can interface easily amongst them using the personal styles of communication (posts, messages, tweets, etc) that they are used to. When networking and promoting simultaneously remember to make it both fun and easy. Make sure that you have plenty of media to offer- videos, audio clips, etc - so that people can be entertained without having to leave your page, and of course you'll want to ensure that it is as easy as possible for them to share that media with others. Having a calender that people can share is also very helpful for promotion. Once the word gets out, some events will all but promote themselves. Once you're got the word circulating on it's own steam, you're really got it made.
Promoters of local events should know that in order to make the most of any campaign to bring people in to local concerts and local festivals they have to target their efforts to the most likely market to engage.
