...Ideas for promoting your Culture Days activity in five minutes or less
1. Add the Culture Days logo to your existing promotional materials (if you have any) so that people who see or hear the national TV, radio, and print ads for Culture Days will connect your activity with all the other buzz they've been hearing.
2. Send out an email to your friends and colleagues with a link to your Culture Days activity page and ask them to tell others about your activity. Attach the Culture Days e-flyer to make your message more visually interesting, and to help them see that you are connected to this Canada-wide celebration.
3. Post a message about your Culture Days activity on any social media sites you use such as Facebook or Twitter. Add the Culture Days logo (download links above) or link to the website (www.culturedays.ca) to highlight that you are a part of this national event.
4. Don't be shy - talk up your Culture Days activity online! Ask a local blogger to write about your activity, or to let you submit a guest blog post. Post photos or videos on the Culture Days Flickr and YouTube pages showing how you or your group is preparing for Culture Days. Contribute to the Culture Days online community on Twitter or Facebook, or consider publishing a blog post on CultureDays.ca to talk about activities in your community.
5. Search for other Culture Days activity organizers in your area and talk to them about how to work together to promote everyone's activities. For example, in some communities, artists have approached the local municipal cultural department or the local tourism bureau to ask them for marketing assistance.
6. Harness the power of word of mouth: use everyday conversations with friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances and neighbours to spread the word about your Culture Days activity. A personal recommendation from one friend to another is still the best marketing tactic around.
