Hear ye, hear ye
Promoting your event on the Internet is much less time consuming than trudging around town sticking flyers on car windshields. (Why ruin another pair of shoes?) Whether you're announcing a club meeting, upcoming concert dates, a local church bazaar, or whatever, proclaiming your happening in cyberspace might just bring you more attention than that crinkly, flea-font newspaper. Besides, it's more fun. So what have you got to lose, except the time and hassle of getting your word out the old-fashioned way? If you think posting your info on the Net means becoming some kind of Internet programming expert, think again. Getting your word out can be as easy as, well, typing your information into a big blank box. Say you'd like to boost attendance at this year's Garlic Festival. Why not post the notice on a local site or message board? This way you'll reach garlic lovers near and far! Now you're cookin'. Declare your event to neighborly netizens by posting it on Internet classifieds. Classifieds abound on the Net and most are free. So if your organization is sponsoring a walk-a-thon in Mankato, Minn., post a message at the Star Tribune's online classifieds or the events calendar at the official site for the City of Mankato . You may even be able to post a message at your local Internet Service Provider's site. Gung-ho about advertising your gig online? Read on. If you're fairly Web savvy, or have some extra time or cash on your hands, you can create a Web site. Many services on the Net will help you create your own site--right down to furnishing you with a server. If your event is recurring, you may want to create a permanent site for your group. (Let's face it, a nonprofit is always fundraising.) Who says you can't try something new?
