Publicity Plan
The success (or failure) of an event truly can be dictated by its marketing (or lack thereof) on campus. We strongly recommend that in the early stages of planning your event that you create a specific, deadline-oriented publicity plan to market your event. This will keep you on task to ensure you are constantly and strategically marketing your event to campus rather than developing ideas and implementing them at the last minute. We have created a publicity plan template to implement for any campus event – please feel free to utilize and tweak it for your personal use!
Campus Media Outlets
Don’t forget to utilize the variety of student-run media sources available on campus!
- As soon as you have a date, time, location and general description of the event, be sure to add it to our new online campus calendar.
- The Scout, campus newspaper
- The Edge, campus radio
