Off-Campus Promotion
Have an event you would like the public to be aware of and drive more participants to you? Below is a guide to help you self-submit information to local and regional calendars.
Getting the word out about an event
Online calendars are an important way to let the public know about SSU events. Unless the event is by invitation only, most events should be submitted for inclusion in online calendars.
- Some outlets post events ONLY online
- Others post online AND in the publication
- But either way, events must be submitted online. See the information below.
Early planning is the key to success. Good publicity strategies are more successful if planning is done early in order to have enough time to develop creative ideas to make sure the event stands above the many groups vying for your audience’s attention.
