*Call the venue to make sure they will allow putting up posters on the day of. If they will not, email me so we can figure something else out
IMPORTANT: Please space out posts on the same social sites. The point is to have the most friends/ followers see your posts without it appearing as spam
For promoting during the show:
-When you get to the venue you must check in with someone in blessthefall band or crew. Your first priority should be checking in with the Tour Manager, if he is not available look for a band member. Your last option should be their merch person. The point of checking in with the band is to let them know you're there promoting, to offer extra help, and to meet your favorite band! You can always ask them for extra posters to hang or extra stickers to pass out! After you check in, have them SIGN your email list. (1 picture of the signature in your post-show report.)
-The next task to do at the venue is hang up posters as soon as you get in the venue. Take two pictures for every poster, one zoomed in show what is written and one zoomed out to show where it is. We need you to include a caption / description with every picture you send as well. Five posters should be hung up in the venue. (10 photos â 1 zoomed in & 1 zoomed out of each)
-Snipes (plain looking posters) should be put up in blocks of four so that it makes a square. These are to be used only at the show. (2 photos - one for each block zoomed out)
-The stickers should be passed out to fans at the show. If the venue allows stickers to be placed on the walls and such, no more than 3 of the stickers should be used for that. (5 photos of stickers being passed out / or 4 photos of stickers being passed out along with one where stickers were placed in the venue)
-Gather at least 20 emails on your sign-up sheet. (Turn in a typed up list of email addresses in an excel spread sheet)
